ArtToFrames 18x28 Inch Black Picture Frame - Classic Antique Black

Our review of the ArtToFrames 18x28 Inch Black Picture Frame finds it best suited for anyone who wants a clean, traditional surround for posters, portraits or diplomas without the cost of custom framing. The single biggest reason to buy is its balanced combination of solid wood construction and a modest 1.25 in profile that makes prints look custom-framed while keeping the overall finished size to 20x30 in. The frame ships with economy acrylic and basic hanging hardware, so it is ready to display a standard 18x28 in print on arrival.

Key Features

• Wood construction: The solid wood moulding gives the frame a sturdy feel and a refined appearance that complements both color and black-and-white artwork.
• Fits 18x28 in prints: Precisely sized for 18x28 in or 28x18 in images, the finished outer dimensions are 20x30 in so the framed piece has a proportional border.
• Profile dimensions: A 1.25 in wide face with 1.00 in depth and a 0.25 in lip provides a tasteful border without overpowering most posters or photos.
• Economy acrylic glazing: The included acrylic keeps the weight down and protects imagery while making the frame easier to hang than glass versions.
• Hanging hardware included: Comes with a wire hanging set and corrugated backing so the frame can be mounted quickly without additional parts.

Who It's For

This frame is a good fit for students, new homeowners, photographers, and anyone who wants an affordable, attractive option to display large prints, posters, diplomas or craft projects. The Antique Black finish works well with gallery walls and individual displays where a traditional, unobtrusive frame is desired.

Those who need museum-grade glazing, very deep or heavy artwork, or ornate decorative mouldings should look elsewhere; this frame is designed for everyday display and value rather than archival conservation or heavy antiques.
