Key Features

• MDF construction: The MDF material gives a smooth, consistent black finish that enhances artwork without distracting from it.
• Profile dimensions: The 1.25 in wide frame with a 0.25 in lip creates a slim face that partially overlaps the image for secure display.
• Backing capacity: A 0.3750 in rabbet provides the maximum thickness the frame can hold, suitable for prints, posters and thin mounted puzzles.

Who It's For

The frame is best for hobbyists and decorators who need a low-cost, good-looking way to display large posters, panoramic puzzles or concert prints without professional framing. Its included acrylic and hanger make it ideal for someone who wants a quick, neat wall display.
