Giftgarden 8.5x11 Picture Frames Diploma Certificate Document Award 8.5 x 11 Frame Black, Wall or Tabletop, Set of 6

These are good frames and well priced. They are sturdy and can be either placed on a desktop with the self contained brace, or onto the wall in any orientation since hanging brackets are attached to be back board. The one thing that is important to realize is that the foggy appearance of the plexiglass is because there are protective plastic sheets on BOTH the front and the back of the clear panel. What you must do, before inserting a picture into the frame, is remove the plastic "window" and peel off those sheets. You will then have a perfectly clear piece of plastic through which your photos will show beautifully.

I bought 30 of these to use for award certificates. They came nicely packaged and not one was broke. They are a very thin glass front and the frame is some kind of plastic or wood composite but from any distance they look pretty nice. I dont think they be very durable but they dont really need to be hanging on the wall. Overall would definitely buy again for the price. You are getting what you pay for plus.

The frames are nice. However, the glass is glued into the frame. So, you can't take it out and clean it and then put it back in. And, it appears as though the faux certificates are laid into the frames while the glue is still wet. So, on several edges, they're stuck to the glass. Because you can't take the glass out that means you have to dig around the edge with a butter knife until you can hook the faux certificate and then peel it out in strips. Needless to say, I cracked one of the frame's glass trying to get the faux certificate out. It's really frustrating. But, once you get the faux certificate removed, the frame is easy to use and looks nice displaying a certificate of your own. Has both a stand and a hook for table top display or hanging in portrait or landscape orientation.

Looks great and frames are sturdy; great price for glass frames however one in the package I got was broken with the glass shattered in the collection.

I just moved into a new apartment and finally had walls to put my art up on.Purpose:Trying to find a frame that was glass, classy, but weighed very little. Requirement for my particular apartment is that it need to be hung by command strips since nails are not allowed.Pros:Lightweight and contemporary. The fasteners in the back are sturdy and it allows for mounting vertically, horizontally, or on a shelf (both ways). These are light enough to be held up my one pair of medium weight command strips. Also, these came packaged ridiculously well. All of the frames are cushion stacked in a styrofoam case. This is taped up and placed in an amazon box. Even Fedex couldnt damage this box.Cons:None. In general, glass is reflective so sometimes you get glare but I am sure if you that is something that you would like, you would spring for the HD glass.

Easy to use,, excellent value. I ordered a second set. Good appearance sturdy.

The frames' appearance is fine. Where my issues lie are with its final product quality and its hardware selection for hanging on the wall. First wets talk about the frames.- So while the frames are packaged fine and look fine for a more economical buy the issue for me comes with disassembly. When you go to remove the example backer paper I found that half the frames just about had excess glue that eeked out and adhered to the paper. Given that these frames typically present certificates or photos this would be concerning to me as I would not want my documents to stick like the paper did. It did not rip or ruin the paper upon pulling it out but its a glossy paper whereas something more textured may not fair so well. This is my main point of contention for these frames.- The hardware selection I think was a poor choice. It would have been far better to have a more traditional setup and here is why. These frames come with this short nail encapsulated around a plastic piece that the frame is supposed to hang on. Not only is it difficult to get the nail to protrude though, you need a hammer, but if you try to do it on the spot you want to actually set it you end up damaging your wall as I did. I did not hit it hard, I tapped it. The issue is you have instead of just a nail going through you have the pressure of the blow focused on a small area of drywall that isn't designed to take that kind of pressure in a focused area. I had to find a steel surface with a crotch I could set the piece on and hammer the nail through flush so there was enough to actually nail it to the wall. Then comes the major flaw with their design. These nail straight in. So if you have pictures hung and you try to set the next one and get everything lined up and then tap it in, the others fall out and then you have broken glass and broken frames on the ground for your trouble trying to get things set right. I broke two frames because the nails they provide with the kit are inadequate for anything other than an immediate solid surface like wood. Any ovaling of the hole they leave if it doesn't crater the drywall in the process and it will fall out if you sneeze in the other room.- Do yourself a favor and get a picture hanging kit. Except they don't work well with the brackets on the back of the frame. So really do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. If these frames had different hardware with them I would say they are fine, other than risking ruining you documents from the excess glue.

For the price these are exceptional. Black and sleek so they go with most decor. Plexiglass is great for keeping your art work clean. Gives a professional look when selling or displaying. Came in a set of 6. Great packing so NO damage to frames. Multiple hangers on back to hang vertically or horizontally. Very pleased with these frames!
