ArtToFrames 20x36 Inch Cherry Picture Frame - Custom MDF Poster Frame

In this review the ArtToFrames 20x36 Inch Cherry Picture Frame is evaluated for anyone seeking a sturdy, custom-sized frame for odd-dimension posters, photos, diplomas or artwork. The bottom line: this frame is best for buyers who need a precise 20 in x 36 in fit and a modest, traditional Cherry finish that complements both color and black-and-white pieces. Our review finds the frame delivers good value through its solid MDF build, economy acrylic glazing and included hanging hardware, while noting the material is not solid hardwood.

Key Features

• Exact fit: Designed to fit a 20 in x 36 in print exactly, so posters and diplomas sit flush without trimming.
• Finished size: The frame measures 21.82 in x 37.82 in finished, which helps buyers plan wall space and matting if needed.
• Sturdy profile: The 1.25 in wide, 0.75 in deep MDF frame gives a clean, stable edge that suits both photographs and art prints.
• Protective glazing: Comes with Economy Acrylic that is lightweight and less fragile than glass for safer handling and shipping.
• Ready to hang: Includes a wire hanging set so the frame is wall-ready out of the box, simplifying installation.
• Suitable lip and rabbet: A 0.34 in lip with a 0.5 in rabbet secures prints and small mounted items without excess gap.

Who It's For

This frame is for homeowners, students, gallery owners or crafters who need a reliable frame for a 20 in x 36 in piece and prefer a Cherry finish that pairs with color or monochrome images. It is also a practical choice for anyone looking for an affordable custom-size frame that ships with hanging hardware and lightweight glazing.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who require genuine hardwood construction, specialty glazing like UV-filtering glass, or deeper rabbet depth for thick canvases; this frame's MDF construction and 0.5 in rabbet limit those uses.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid, well-built feel from the molded MDF profile that holds shape and displays prints neatly.
• Accurate sizing for 20 in x 36 in prints and a finished size that is easy to plan around.
• Includes economy acrylic glazing and a wire hanging set so it is ready to mount immediately.
• Good value compared with custom framing options while maintaining a classic Cherry look.

Cons

• MDF construction means it is not real hardwood; some customers note plastic-like material or mixed impressions of material quality.
• Economy acrylic may show scratches more easily than higher-grade glazing or glass.

Is the glazing glass or acrylic?
