Magnetic Acrylic Frame 18x22 in with Chrome Standoffs - Floating

In this review of the ArtToFrames Magnetic Acrylic Frame, the bottom line is simple: this is a good choice for anyone who wants a clean, modern way to display 18x22 in prints or photos with a true floating look. The frame uses two 1/8 in polished acrylic panels (1/4 in total) that sandwich the image and fasten with inset magnets, so changing artwork is fast and the finished presentation reads like glass without the weight. It arrives with chrome standoff hardware for wall mounting and can be hung vertically or horizontally, making it a straightforward option for simple gallery-style displays.

Key Features

• Floating look: Two polished 1/8 in acrylic panels create a 1/4 in sandwich that gives artwork a suspended, gallery-style appearance on the wall.
• Easy artwork changes: Magnetic acrylic faceplates let you swap prints quickly without tools, which is convenient for rotating photos or temporary exhibits.
• Chrome standoff hardware: The included chrome standoffs and matching inset magnets provide everything needed to mount the frame and achieve the intended gap from the wall.
• Dual orientation: The completed frame can be hung horizontal or vertical, so it fits a range of compositions and wall layouts.
• Acrylic construction: Lightweight acrylic panels make the frame easier to handle and mount than comparable glass-framed displays.

Who It's For

This magnetic acrylic frame is best for homeowners, photographers, and small business owners who want a minimalist, gallery-style display for 18x22 in prints without the expense and weight of glass and wood frames. It is also a good pick for people who change displays often and value the quick magnetic access to swap artwork.

Those who need maximum scratch resistance, thicker glazing, or a heavy-duty gallery frame for valuable originals should look elsewhere; the acrylic panels are lighter and thinner than glass and some customers report concerns about thickness and how well prints are held over time.
