ArtToFrames 17x36 in Black Picture Frame - Custom Wood Poster Frame

Our review of the ArtToFrames 17x36 in Black Picture Frame finds it ideal for anyone who wants a clean, custom look for tall photos or posters without paying framing shop prices. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a true wood moulding with a narrow 1.25 in profile and included economy acrylic and hanging hardware, which together deliver a finished 19x38 in piece that looks bespoke on the wall. This frame balances solid build and visual presence for prints that need a tailored, vertical presentation.

Key Features

• Custom fit: Fits 17x36 in photos and produces a finished frame size of 19x38 in so users get a precise, gallery-style display.
• Wood construction: The wood moulding gives prints a traditional framed appearance and adds visible build quality compared with generic plastic frames.
• Narrow profile: The 1.25 in wide, 1.00 in high frame keeps focus on the art while providing a sturdy border that suits tall posters.
• Included glazing: Economy acrylic is supplied instead of glass, reducing weight and breakage risk for easy handling and safer wall mounting.
• Ready to hang: A wire hanging set is included so the frame can be mounted immediately without extra hardware purchases.
• Practical rabbet depth: The 0.375 in rabbet accommodates most prints and mounted papers used in standard poster presentations.

Who It's For

This frame works best for photographers, artists, and homeowners who need a custom-sized frame for tall, narrow prints or posters and who prefer a wood look without custom-framing expense. The included acrylic and hanging wire make it especially useful for renters or anyone who wants a lightweight, ready-to-hang display.

It is less suitable for collectors who require museum-grade glazing or deeper rabbet space for thick canvases or heavy matting. If you need true glass glazing or archival-level framing, you should consider a professional framing option instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Finished size of 19x38 in fits 17x36 in photos precisely, eliminating trimming or adjustments.
• Includes economy acrylic and a wire hanging set so it is ready to hang out of the box and is lighter than glass versions.
• The 1.25 in width provides a balanced, modern profile that suits vertical artwork.

Cons
