wallsthatspeak 17x20 Gold Picture Frame for Puzzles Posters Photos

Our review of the wallsthatspeak 17x20 Gold Picture Frame finds it best for anyone who needs a display-ready frame for a poster, print, puzzle or artwork at an uncommon but precise size. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of an attractive gold finish and an eco-friendly composite wood construction that mimics solid wood without the cost or heavy weight, making it an easy choice for gallery walls, framed puzzles or framed prints where a smooth, consistent look matters.

Key Features

• Designed for posters and puzzles: A 17x20 in opening fits many prints and finished puzzles, so pieces sit flat and look framed without extra trimming.
• Solid-feel BonanzaWood: The composite BonanzaWood frame gives a smooth, uniform finish resembling solid wood at lower cost and with fewer material defects.
• Shallow profile: The frame is 1.25 in wide on the top surface and sits 0.75 in off the wall, providing a low-profile display that keeps artwork close to the wall.
• Durable plexiglass front: Rigid plexiglass is shatterproof and lighter than glass, making the frame safer to handle and hang, especially for large puzzles or children's rooms.
• Flexible hanging: Comes with an uninstalled sawtooth hanger and can hang vertically or horizontally, so orientation is simple and adaptable to different layouts.

Who It's For

The frame suits crafters and hobbyists who frame completed puzzles, artists or photographers with prints sized close to 17x20 in, and anyone assembling a coordinated gallery wall using economical, consistent frames. It is also a good pick for students or renters who want a polished look without heavy, expensive wood frames.

Those who need archival-grade materials, UV-filtering glazing, deep shadowbox spacing or a common mass-market size should look elsewhere; specialists seeking solid hardwood or museum-level glazing will outgrow this product's composite construction and plexiglass front.

Pros & Cons
