RELIANCER A3 Front Load Easy Open Snap Frame Professional Aluminum Poster Pictures Frame for 11.7x16.5 Inches Graphics Wall Mounted w/Non-glare PVC lens(Black)

These aluminum frames simply snap open and closed to load a photo or piece of art. The "glass" is a sheet of very clear plastic. This worried me for scratches but I've ordered many and they are top notch and have not degraded. I use the A3 size because that is the size I print my best photos on. I can store three or four photos in each frame. This allows me to change the one on display in seconds.The only bad thing about the frame is that they screw onto the wall. This makes them easy to use and very sturdy but it cannot be changed from vertical to horizontal. I have modified the mounting holes to hold a hanging wire in each direction on some of my frames so I can change them without having to remount the frame.Although they are available in various colors, I have aluminum, black and wood grain, the colors do not seem to be widely available but one could paint them easily to match any decor. These are very nicely made and quite stylish.I love them!

When I first got these frames, I loved them and thought I might ibky ever buy these for future projects. Easy to open to replace your photo. Attractive. I just went to hang them and discovered there are only holes drilled into the metal frame in the back for hanging in landscape orientation. Sadly, I want to use them in portrait orientation. Now instead of just hanging a couple nails or hooks, I have to find some picture hanging wire to make it work. A hassle I did not want. And I will have to pry the metal flap in the back up a little bit to accomadte the wire. All this is not a deal breaker so will use them but may think twice before buying again.

The frame itself is well-made, given the price. I ran into a couple small issues that I was able to solve and thought they might be helpful to share.First, make sure you peel off the plastic on both sides. I've bought many frames before, and all (most?) have protective plastic on both sides, but on this frame, the plastic is extremely hard to detect... I couldn't see it, and at first use, didn't think there was a protective sheet on the inside-facing plastic. This caused me to think the plastic itself was defective, so I reached out to the manufacturer, who quickly reiterated there should be a plastic sheet on the inside... sure enough, after picking at it, I found and removed... Voila, the frame is crystal and clear.Second, the mounting instructions are a bit lacking... they intend for you to drill four anchor holes in your wall to mount the frame... no way. And really... with a frame this light, there's zero reason you would need four mount holes. Instead, I was able to find a couple short machine screws that fit two of the holes, threaded those through, capped with a nut, and strung some wire across between them. Net result: one hole (with a normal hanger, no less!), more than sufficient for hanging a frame of this weight.If I were the manufacturer, I would do the following:1) Mark the plastic sheets on both sides with a marker, or sticker, or SOMETHING, so we know there's a covering there... this would eliminate consumer confusion and reduce service emails.2) Drop THREE of the provided anchors and screws, and instead provide TWO short screws and nuts to fasten to the frame though the mounting holes. This would also reduce confusion and also probably be slightly cheaper to produce.

The media could not be loaded.  Very cool frame. I’ll be honest I could not for the life of me figure out how this thing worked by reading the description. But I decided to take a chance on it since there were not many frames available in this size and I couldn’t beat the price. once I got it and saw it in person I was pretty impressed and never had a frame like this before. Mounting is super easy and sturdy. I totally recommend for anyone that what’s to change the picture or poster out frequently.

Nice frame for the inexpensive price, but as other reviewers pointed out, it comes with 4 holes drilled into the frame, but no mounting hardware or any instructions. What comes in the package are random screws and plastic wall anchors--not useful. I glued a sawtooth hanger to the top of the frame with extra strong glue, and hope it holds. One might be able to string picture wire between through the holes, but this might have been provided or suggested.

it fits the size of picture as advertised bit pricey also i was expecting to hang it looks like it is meant to be mounted to a wall

The frame is fine for the price I paid. Unfortunately, The inner box I received had been carelessly cut through the tape, bubble wrap, and protective film, leaving a deep, 16 inch long scratch through the middle of the clear plastic image cover. My application doesn't use the plastic cover, so I'm not going to bother with a return, but it should not have shipped in this condition.Pros: Light. Easy to use. Clean, simple look.Cons: Clear image cover is very shiny. Pre-drilled holes are only on long edges, requiring drilling to properly mount horizontally with picture wire. Use is limited to very thin images. Damaged item received.

I enjoyed the quality of the picture frame. Everything looks nice when I snapped on the poster. I will say that I thought the plastic sheet at first was faulted with bends and wrinkles. The reason for this was because there was still a thin piece of plastic covering that was difficult to remove. In the end I figured that out and it was crystal clear.I will say that there are four on each side and not one in the back. I rather not drill two nails into my wall, but it's more likely to ensure that it stays in place for public places.I will say, at my own fault, that the plastic covering for the poster got scratched when opening. Thankfully it isn't too bad. As long as the light isn't shining directly at it. I highly recommend care when using a cutting tool to open up the box. One slip could scratch the plastic covering.
