wallsthatspeak 17x34 Black Picture Frame for Posters and Puzzles

In this review the wallsthatspeak 17x34 Black Picture Frame is evaluated for anyone wanting a tidy, affordable solution to display a poster, print, artwork or finished puzzle. The bottom line: this frame is for buyers who want a clean black profile and an eco-friendly composite construction that looks like solid wood without a high price. Our review finds it best when precise size and a shatterproof front matter more than museum-grade glazing or heavy solid wood heft.

Key Features

• Designed size: Built specifically for 17x34 in artwork and puzzles so pieces fit without trimming or awkward matting.
• Profile and depth: The frame has a 1.25 in top face and sits 0.75 in off the wall, giving a low-profile, modern look that keeps the image close to the wall.
• Eco-friendly material: Made from BonanzaWood composite that provides a smooth, woodlike finish while using recycled residual wood particles.
• Durable front: A rigid plexiglass front offers a shatterproof alternative to glass, making it safer for high-traffic areas or homes with children.
• Flexible hanging: Comes with an uninstalled sawtooth hanger and can hang vertically or horizontally to suit orientation needs.
• Value finish: The composite construction delivers the look of solid wood at a fraction of the typical solid wood cost.

Who It's For

The frame suits hobbyists framing completed puzzles, artists with a 17x34 in print, or anyone furnishing a hallway or casual gallery wall on a budget. Its shatterproof plexiglass and lightweight composite make it practical in family rooms, studios, or rental spaces where durability and ease matter.

Buyers seeking museum-grade glazing, deep mats, or heavy solid wood construction should look elsewhere. Also, those who need uncommon thicknesses or archival glazing for sensitive prints will want a higher-end frame or custom framing service.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good-looking black finish that mimics solid wood at lower cost.
• Eco-conscious composite material made from recycled wood particles.
