Decent price, good frame
The frame is fine, easy to install, looks good, all the things you'd expect. I was more impressed with the care they took in packaging it to prevent damage.

Great Value
For the price I found this frame to be an excellent value. I have a large watercolor painting, and I cut a mat to fit the painting and frame and it looks great on my wall.

Difficult to insert poster
These picture frames are an exact fit for the 17x22 posters. I do have to admit I wasn't too fond on the way the back is secured with the small very stiff metal tabs that fold down to hold the backing in place. Those things are so hard to bend up or back down because of how short they are. I had to use a dime because it was the only thing that was thin enough and strong enough to help me peel those up to get the backing off to put the poster inside. I also had to use the dime as well to push them back down without damaging more of my fingernails.

Sloppy construction, INCREDIBLY terrible glue
I bought 3 of these. Outwardly the frame looks good, but, as many other reviewers have noted, the plexiglass is glued to the frame, and it's a REALLY big deal for the following reasons:First and most importantly, the factory churning these out has poor quality control. The glue is used far too liberally and not only is it visible from the front in some cases, but it also frequently completely covers the inside edges. Be warned, this WILL stick to your art piece and potentially tear and destroy it at worst, if you're not careful, or leave stains on it at best, if you are.Secondly, removing the glue is near impossible. I don't know what kind of glue it is, but it's quite literally the most tenacious gunk I've ever seen, more persistent than carpet glue. I spent weeks working in my spare time and testing different chemical and mechanical means of removing the glue. I did eventually stumble on some insights that help (which I'll share below), but in the meantime I basically destroyed one of the frames, and ended up having to completely sand and repaint it, which was not easy because a powered sander of any kind will heat the frame plastic up too much and just melt it into a giant mess.Just trust me when I say that if you're thinking about removing the glue yourself, just throw the the whole thing in the trash and buy something else. Or maybe just cover the glue up with some sacrificial paper or felt or something and forget about removing it entirely (which isn't even an option if it's showing from the front).Lastly, the frame itself is made of very light, bendy plastic. While it's durable, it has no strength. The glued-in plexiglass is actually strictly necessary for the frame to stay together. Without the glue, the frame can't even support the weight of the plexiglass and cardboard backboard, so the bottom edge of the frame will droop. Additionally, the frame's joints are not particularly strong either, and will begin to loosen after too much strain (easy to do if you've committed to removing the glue nightmare).Additionally, the plexiglass is quite soft and will readily accumulate micro-scratches, which make it look horrible under direct light. This is not really a fault of the product, but something to keep in mind. To add to my pain, I originally used a counter brush and a bristled vacuum attachment to clean dust off of the plexiglass before installing it and this was a huge mistake. I ended up having to polish both sides of all 3 sheets with both a heavy and fine scratch removing polish to rescue them. Only touch these sheets with microfiber cloths!If anyone else is as insane and hobbyless as I am and truly wants to remove the glue on their cheap frame, here's my tips:1) Prepare enough counter space with towels and microfiber cloths so that you can easily set the plexiglass down in at least 2 non-overlapping locations. Do not rely on the plexiglass standing up on its own while leaning on something. It's far too flexible for that.2) Carefully and slowly separate the plexiglass from the frame by working your way around the frame, applying firm front-to-back pressure on the plexiglass, and using a sharp box knife to slice parts of the stretched glue which will not let go of the plexiglass.3) I built a shallow trough out of cardboard, completely covered in packing tape to make it waterproof, and using hot glue to plug the ends. Then I filled it with just enough regular canola oil so that one full edge of the plexiglass sheet could be submerged enough to cover all the glue. The custom trough was necessary because I didn't have any other container long enough for the full 3 foot length of the plexiglass. For smaller sheets you could probably find some large plastic container or bag to make it work. I had to jerry-rig some support to keep the plexiglass upright and not allow it to flop over.4) Leave the glue submerged in the canola oil for a full 24 hours (yes, really). The longer you leave it the easier it will come off.5) Lay the sheet flat and wipe off the now very wet and far less sticky glue. Make sure to use a microfiber cloth, or be prepared to polish out micro-scratches. You'll probably need several cloths, because the glue will stick to them and just get right back onto the plexiglass if you're not careful. For tiny bits of remaining residue, you can use 1:10 vinegar:water and some elbow grease. Clean the residual oil and other mark off of the sheet with soapy wet cloths and a non-streaking glass/acrylic cleaning spray.6) For the glue on the frame, this is more difficult. I tried similarly leaving some canola oil in one edge at a time, but I ended up having to scrape the remaining glue residue out regardless, it's just too resilient. Any kind of more potent adhesive remover can easily leak onto the front of the frame and destroy the finish (which is why I had to completely sand and repaint one of my frames).In the end, I just found that taking a wide-bladed, sharp flathead screwdriver or a thin-bladed chisel and scraping out the glue worked the best. You literally have to scrape as hard as you can without completely breaking the frame to make this work. Basically you need to scrape away the entire surface that the glue is bonded to. If you feel any tackiness at all after removing most of the glue, just scrape more or scrape harder. The insides of the frame will end up looking like garbage, but nobody will see that part.If you're still reading, it should be obvious that none of this is worth the money you'll save by going with this $30 frame.

Price was amazing
This frame was needed for a baby shower. I looked at alot of them this size and the price was ridiculous! This was fairly priced and quality was perfect.

Quality < Price
The frame feels cheap and flimsy. The setup was standard. I’d use the frame for less visible art or photos.

Excelentes cuadros y excelente precios
The media could not be loaded. Estaba muy dudosa de pedirlo porque se me hacía muy buen precio pero leí las reseñas y tenían toda la razón. Son extremadamente fáciles de usar, venían empacados muy bien, ningún rayón, llegaron en 1 día con prime. Están perfectos, lucen igual que las fotos y la calidad es excelente. Los pedí para un regalo y no pude haber escogido unos mejores. Sin pensarlo compren estos. 10/10.

Great seller to deal with
Like the frames. Was dubious about the fact they weren’t glass. They work perfectly. The seller was quick to see that the replacement arrived quickly. Thankfully since we needed them to complete our project. Putting pictures in friends home. They will love what we did. If they don’t I will keep them.First package arrived- box very damaged- only 1frame and it had tear in covering almost side to side and then a smaller one.
