Who It's For

This frame is aimed at renters, homeowners and decorators who want a rustic, farmhouse look without the expense or heft of reclaimed wood. It works well for bedroom, entryway or living room prints where a bold red accent and textured finish can enhance a gallery wall.

Those seeking authentic solid-wood frames or museum-grade glazing should look elsewhere; the frame uses MDF composite and a clear acrylic facing rather than glass, and the viewable area is slightly reduced by a 0.25 in frame lip on each side.
