Frame Amo 11x17 Black Solid Wood Poster Frame with White Mat - Gallery

Our review of the Frame Amo 11x17 Black Solid Wood Poster Frame finds it ideal for anyone who wants a heavy-duty, gallery-style display for posters, certificates or small artwork. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a real solid wood border and tempered glass front that together give a premium, museum-like presentation while protecting the piece with acid-free matting and backing. It arrives fully assembled and ready to hang in landscape or portrait, making it a straightforward upgrade for home or office displays.

Key Features

• Solid wood border: The 1.5 in wide, 1 in thick frame feels substantial and gives artwork a classic, substantial edge suited to gallery or home use.
• Tempered glass front: Real tempered glass provides a crystal clear view and a sturdier, more premium front than thin plastics.
• Acid-free protection: Includes an acid-free mat and acid-free pearl board to protect the image front and back for long-term preservation.
• Exact fit for 11x17: The frame fits an 11x17 poster exactly and the outer dimensions are compact enough at 13.5 x 19.5 in for easy wall placement.
• Flexible display options: With the mat installed it displays an 8x12 image, and without it the frame accepts up to 0.80 in thick items when backing is removed.
• Ready to hang: Frames arrive fully assembled with back hooks for secure landscape or portrait mounting.

Who It's For

This frame is aimed at photographers, hobbyists and decorators who want a durable, attractive presentation for posters, certificates, puzzles or prints sized 11x17 or smaller. The high-quality wood and tempered glass make it a good choice for framed heirlooms or items that will be handled or displayed for a long time.

Those who need ultra-lightweight frames, plastic fronts, or custom-sized mats for nonstandard dimensions should look elsewhere. Also, buyers wanting a very deep shadowbox style for thick three-dimensional objects will need a different, deeper frame solution.
