Art Canvas Stretcher Bars (20"), (2 Pack)

the product description said 2 sets should mean bars to make two frames. but it turned out to be 2 bars that is half of a frame! ha he hei, i feel fooled and foolish!

I am very happy with this frame purchase, Easy to assemble and exactly what I wanted. Much better than the one I bought from a different vender, in fact, I ordered a second one to replace the first.

Worked beautifully! This was my first time buying and putting together stretcher bars. Putting them together was was simple. They are strong and worked well under my canvas. I am absolutely delighted!

This was my first time stretching a canvas, but it ended well. I was a little surprised that the bars had beveled edges on both sides, so there was no difference between front and back. I was expecting a flat back, but I'm not sure it really matters. They fit together very snugly, and were easy to square up. I used a door frame to help get them square. The outside edges were very sharp and that made it difficult to stretch the canvas over them (because it caught on the sharp edges), so I sanded them down slightly and then I was able to get a nice tight stretch. It did take me 2 tries to get it tight enough. After 3 coats of gesso on the canvas and now being almost finished with the painting, it still looks good. I used these bars because I wanted a non-standard size (16x24 inches), not available in pre-stretched canvases. And now, for the same reason, I will proceed to my first try at building my own frame.

I was extremely disappointed when I opened this package. In the description of the item it leaves you to believe that you are getting 2 complete sets of stretch bars (which is what I need for 2 pictures). I always read the reviews and look at the description and when I ordered these the description sounded like I would be able to finish 2 pictures. Now after I have received these I looked it up and it is so different. And so are the reviews. If I hadn’t been misled I wouldn’t not have ordered these. Granted they look like a good quality product but what good does it do me to complete a painting with only 2 stretch bars? NOTHING!Now I will have to pay for more. Not good when I live on a budget. Someone won’t be getting a gift this year. Thanks😏

These stretcher bars are very well made and perfect for stretching your own canvases. They can take a lot of knocking around without getting damaged, too.

This ONLY comes with two pieces- therefore you have to order two separate orders in order to make a complete frame!

I found these bars on most searches to be significantly more money. Very happy with the price, and it was very easy as a DIYer to assemble.
