Lorell Stylish Poster Frame, 24" x 36" (49214)

I used this frame for something I got made for my boyfriend. Reading the reviews, I was skeptical, but this was the only cheap fame I could find for something that size, so I took the chance. I'm glad I did. The frame came in a pack of 6 which I was not expecting (maybe I misread something?), but that just makes it even more worth the money.Some people say in the reviews that the film is hard to peel off, but if you do it while the sides of the frame are off, it is extremely easy. My frames were not broken when I received them, but the ones on the top of the package were a bit rounded (the ones in the middle were okay, though). There are some thin scratches on the glass, which most of the frames have (I didn't examine every frame super closely), and as you can see from the pictures, the frame itself was also a bit scratched. Since it was for a gift I thought this kind of sucked, but it's not super noticeable unless you're looking at it closely (if it had been for myself I wouldn't have cared at all).The plexiglass is a bit thin, so you have to be careful, but it is very reflective, which I liked. In the pictures of the corners, the top piece of the frame seems to be coming down lower on the front, but that's only because I had put it back on backwards (the backside of the frame comes down more to hold the cardboard in place better). Once I flipped this piece, the corners also aligned better than they do in the picture, although not perfectly. If you have problems with the frame pieces, you can always use pieces from some of the other frames, and they might fit better because of very slight difference in sizes/shaping.We haven't hung the frame yet, so I'm not sure how well it will hold, but the hangers come out quite a lot, which will probably make this easy.To assemble the frame, I put the picture on the cardboard and added the plexiglass on top. Then I slid the bottom piece on (trying to just snap them on wouldn't work very well), then I slid on the long side pieces, and I pulled one of the side pieces away from the frame at the top, just enough to slide the top piece I, and then I pushed the side piece back on. I tapped each side of the frame on the ground once it was assembled, to make sure that all the pieces were on as far as they would go.Overall, I recommend these frames if you don't mind a few imperfections. Other frames this size are around 80$ each, and I just wanted a very simple frame, so I definitely found these were worth it. I got exactly what I was expecting, which can be rare when ordering things on the internet.UPDATEWe have now hung the fame, and it is a bit curved, unfortunately. However, it is not suuuper noticeable, since it is so thin. Once again, sucks because it was a gift, but if it were for myself, knowing what to expect, I wouldn't mind these few imperfections.Hope this long review helped :)

I got this at a sale price of not even $12. I wanted it for a Middle Earth poster I had on my wall with push pins; I'm many years out of college and was tired of having my office look like a dorm room but I didn't want to sink a fortune into poster frames. With the reviews here, I wondered if it had a prayer of it arriving in one piece but that's what returns are for, so I took a chance and ordered it. Besides, there were favorable reviews too that were more recent. The frame arrived in a cardboard box that was decently sturdy so the item was fine. It came with zero instructions save a sticker that informed me there was a protective coating that needed peeling off on each side of the plastic meant to go over the poster. To be clear, these are four plastic U channel borders that essentially clamp together the plastic 'cover', your poster, and the cardboard backing that has the hanging tabs that allow your poster to be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation, and that's all folks. Be sure you orient your poster correctly as it pertains to the hanging tabs (so it won't be upside down and you have to take it apart and reassemble it again), the materials are frail and not meant to be handled repeatedly.You need to work on a clean surface that won't scratch the plastic; I used the top of my bed. You will need to gently disassemble the entire frame; if it matters to you that you have a perfectly clean outcome wash your hands before working thoroughly to remove oils from your fingers and to the extent possible do not touch the surface of the plastic cover while you remove the protective coating (remove both sides, a little at a time, so that your fingers never touch the actual cover; handle it by the edges. When you are ready to assemble, slide on the plastic U channel edges on starting at a corner. Work slowly and make sure they do not 'pop off' as you go along, this way your poster edge will not get crimped or torn in any way. If you stop about an inch from the end, you will leave yourself a starting place for all four frame edges and then you can nudge the pieces into their final position when all the frame edges are on.I will buy this product again. The photos show the slight damage that was on two corners of the plastic cover when the frame arrived, but as it in no way kept the item from being usable I kept it. I certainly would not pay $20 for this but when shipping is factored in $12 is more than fair.

This poster frame does the trick. It can prove to be a little flimsy and does suffer a little corner damage in shipping. This fist European sized posters well

pretty cheap looking - def should've read the reviews before buying but i was in a rush and didnt (rookie mistake).is SOOO filmsy and cheap looking but once you hang it it's not SO bad... but a solid 3/5 stars, maybe even 2.5. price is about the only good thing

Low quality.Side frame was cracked upon receipt.Not worth the effort to return.Did what is was supposed to do, but I would spend more and get better quality.
