Faux Barnwood Picture Frame Light Grey Oak 17 x 22 in - Rustic Wall

Our review of the Faux Barnwood Picture Frame in Light Grey Oak finds it best suited for shoppers who want the look of distressed barnwood without the cost or maintenance of real wood. The single biggest reason to buy is the convincing textured laminate wrap finish that gives photos and prints a rustic presence on the wall while remaining lightweight and easy to hang. For a 17 x 22 in print this frame presents artwork attractively and includes everything needed to get it on the wall, though buyers should note it is not made from actual barnwood.

Key Features

• Rustic appearance: The distressed light grey barnwood look adds farmhouse character and pairs well with neutral or coastal decor.
• Textured laminate finish: The laminate wrap mimics real wood grain and resists chips and scratches better than thin painted frames.
• Complete hanging kit: Includes clear acrylic facing, rigid cardboard backing and a wire hanging hardware kit so it can be mounted in portrait or landscape orientation.
• Size fitment: Designed to hold a 17 x 22 in photo, print or poster and presents artwork with a generous 2 in moulding width for a bold border.
• Lightweight construction: MDF composite construction keeps the frame light and easier to position on drywall than solid wood frames.

Who It's For

This frame is ideal for renters, dorm residents or anyone updating a gallery wall who wants a rustic look without heavy solid wood. It fits a 17 x 22 in print and the included hardware makes it a quick option for seasonal art swaps or photographic displays.

Those seeking authentic reclaimed barnwood, heirloom hardwood moulding, or professional conservation framing should look elsewhere; the frame is a laminate-wrapped MDF product and the viewable area is reduced slightly by the inner lip.
