Faux Barnwood Picture Frame 14 x 18 in - Light Grey Oak

In this review the Craig Frames American Barn faux barnwood picture frame is evaluated for shoppers who want a rustic look without the weight or expense of reclaimed wood. The bottom line: it is best for someone seeking an affordable, decorative wall frame that displays a 14 x 18 in print with convincing weathered styling and easy hanging. The frame is not real barnwood, but the textured laminate wrap and distressed light grey oak finish give a convincing appearance while keeping the piece lightweight and simple to mount.

Key Features

• Rustic styling: The distressed light grey barnwood appearance adds farmhouse character to a room without the cost or maintenance of real wood.
• Textured laminate finish: The wraparound textured laminate delivers visual depth and a tactile surface that mimics aged wood grain.
• Complete framing kit: Includes a clear acrylic facing, rigid cardboard backing and a hanging hardware kit so the frame is ready to assemble and hang.
• Versatile orientation: Hanging hardware supports both portrait and landscape mounting to suit prints, posters or photos.
• Appropriate viewing size: Designed to hold a 14 x 18 in photo or print, with a note that the frame lip reduces the viewable area slightly.

Who It's For

The frame is ideal for renters, casual decorators, or anyone updating wall art on a budget who still wants a cohesive rustic look; its MDF construction and laminate finish keep weight and price down while offering a convincing aesthetic. It also suits users who need a light, easy-to-hang frame for prints, posters or family photos sized for a 14 x 18 in opening.

Shoppers who require genuine reclaimed wood, heavyweight frames, museum-grade glazing, or an exact full-view 14 x 18 in sightline should look elsewhere, since the moulding is MDF composite and the viewable area is reduced by the frame lip and uses acrylic rather than glass.
