Assembly is straightforward and the included Economy Acrylic keeps costs down while still protecting the puzzle.

Key Features

• Premium Material: Constructed from high-quality MDF for durability and a refined finish that resists warping over time.
• Perfect Fit for 300 piece puzzles: Sized specifically to hold 24 in x 18 in puzzle prints and accommodates the piece count and common puzzle brands.
• Versatile Orientation: The frame works both horizontally and vertically, letting users display portraits or landscapes without modification.
• Sleek Black Design: A 1.25 in wide black face provides a subtle, gallery-style border that complements most images without competing with them.
• Economy Acrylic: Includes an Economy Acrylic glazing to protect the puzzle surface while keeping the overall price accessible.
• Precise Rabbet Depth: The 0.4375 in rabbet ensures the puzzle sits securely and neatly within the frame profile.

Who It's For

This frame is aimed at puzzle enthusiasts and casual decorators who have completed a 24 in x 18 in, roughly 300 piece puzzle and want a dependable, good-looking display option. It is also well suited to photographers and artists who need a cost-conscious frame for prints of the same dimensions and prefer a thin, modern black border.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers needing archival-grade glazing or a deeper rabbet for bulkier mounts and mats, and anyone seeking a frame with premium glass or elaborate moulding. Also consider heavier-duty frames if you expect very frequent handling or display outdoors.
