16x17 in Black Wood Picture Frame - Custom Finished 18x19 in

In this review of the 16x17 in Black Picture Frame from ArtToFrames the bottom line is simple: this is a solid, low-cost way to give prints and photos a clean, custom look. It is aimed at anyone who wants a sturdy wooden frame that fits 16x17 in images and arrives ready to hang, with regular glass and a sawtooth hanger included. The frame's finished size of 18x19 in and its 1.25 in width create a balanced border that makes smaller posters look intentionally framed while the 0.375 in rabbet limits this to relatively flat artwork.

Key Features

• Ready to hang: Comes with a sawtooth hanger preinstalled so the frame can be mounted on the wall immediately.
• Wood construction: The solid wood build gives the frame a traditional look and adds durability for long term display.
• Standard glazing: Includes regular glass that protects the print while keeping reflections minimal compared with thinner plastics.
• Exact fit for 16x17 in photos: Designed specifically to hold 16x17 in artwork while the finished outer size measures 18x19 in for a neat border.
• Profile dimensions: The 1.25 in wide moulding with a 0.25 in lip frames the image edge precisely and keeps prints secure.
• Shallow rabbet: A 0.375 in rabbet accepts flat prints, photos, and thin mounts for clean, low-profile installs.

Who It's For

This frame is best for hobby photographers, artists selling prints, or homeowners who need a tailored 16x17 in solution without custom carpentry. The wooden moulding and neutral black finish suit modern and traditional interiors and make prints appear professionally framed.

Buyers who need to frame thick canvases, deep shadowboxes, or three-dimensional pieces should look elsewhere because the 0.375 in rabbet offers limited depth. Also consider other options if you require archival glazing or museum-grade mounting supplies.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good build quality and a classic appearance that elevates prints.
• Arrives ready to hang with included sawtooth hardware for quick installation.
• Accurate fit for 16x17 in art with a finished outer size of 18x19 in for a clean border.
• Excellent value for money compared with custom milling for a similar look.

Cons

• The rabbet depth is shallow at 0.375 in, so it will not accept thick backing or deep mounts.
• Some customers expect plexiglass rather than regular glass, so glazing type may differ from expectation.

Specifications
