MCS Foundation Poster Frame, 13.5x40, Black Traditional, 1-Pack

This is a beautiful picture for puzzle makers wanting to display their favorite completed puzzle or artworks. The plexiglass cover is fixed into the frame therein providing more frame strength. I knocked the assembly rating one start because the only issue I had was the backer board, which is stiff and strong, was a very tight fit and took a little effort to remove and reinstall into the frame. If the frame maker, MCS, would reduce two edges of the backer board by about 1/16", that would allow the backer board to easily clear the installed holder clips without impacting the integrity of the clips holding power. I'm ordering more of MCS's frames to replace previously framed puzzles using frames of lesser quality and sturdiness.

The packaging was great, the frames are solid and a very pretty gold. If you are framing a poster or photo, these are perfect. If you want to frame a 5/8" stretched canvas like I did, this might help... 1. You will need to remove the brads that hold the backing in place. This takes a while and a bit of strength. 2. The plexiglass is glued to the frame with a rubber cement type glue which makes getting the plexiglass out difficult, but not impossible. I really don't understand the reason for glueing it in. 3. Once the brads and plexiglass are gone, it's smooth sailing. The best part is that some of the glue remains on the inside of the frame which actually helps to hold the canvas in the frame. This is especially nice because the frame is plastic and you cannot use nails to hold your canvas in place. Additionally, the frame is exactly the size stated so my canvases fit tightly and there was no need to figure out how to hold them in the frame! I would definitely recommend this company and product if you want to frame a thin canvas economically.

These are great for concert posters. The gold is a nice color, not brassy.

I bought this frame for a 20×30 print, and honestly it looks way more expensive than it is. The brass finish gives off a clean, modern vibe that worked perfectly in my living room. Quality of Materials: Despite being constructed of extruded plastic, the frame feels remarkably sturdy. The plexiglass front is lightweight but still clear enough that my print looks sharp. I had it up on the wall in just a couple minutes. One thing to note: the backing is pretty snug, so it took me a little wiggling to get the poster in place. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of. I was able to hang it vertically in my hallway and later rotate it horizontally for a different look—everything stays secure and neat. What Could Be Better: The plastic plexi can scratch or crack over time, and corners may separate if handled roughly. But personally, with a light touch and careful handling, I’ve had no issues. It also arrived well packaged, with plenty of protection around the corners, so nothing was scratched or cracked when it showed up. Overall, I’m really happy with how it looks. it's a decent choice If you're after a stylish, cost-effective alternative to metal or real glass frames. It brings modern elegance, practical durability, and ease of use; all at a good value.

This 24x36 MCS Foundation poster frame is a great option if you want a simple, clean way to display large prints without spending a lot. The traditional brass finish has a nice subtle look that works well with posters, photos, or art prints without overpowering the image. Once hung, it gives artwork a more finished and professional appearance compared to basic plastic frames. The frame is lightweight but feels sturdy enough for wall mounting, and the backing holds posters securely in place without shifting. It can be hung vertically or horizontally, which makes it versatile for different layouts. Assembly is straightforward and the clear front panel provides good visibility with minimal glare in normal lighting. For best results, laying the frame flat while positioning the poster helps prevent creases or misalignment before securing the backing. Also, using proper wall anchors or picture hanging hardware ensures the frame stays level and secure, especially with larger prints. Overall, this is a dependable, good-looking frame that offers an easy and affordable way to display large artwork or posters.

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.

This is a good poster frame. The backing cardboard is nice and sturdy.

I bought the 18x24 frame. I chose this one because it is cheap ($20 cheaper than other choices), have the color I want, and can arrive in 2 days. Now I regretted a bit. It arrived and packaging was fine. The back was held up by those cheap metal tabs. No worries as I know you got what you paid for -- until I pushed all the tabs upwards with a xacto knife, the backing just won't come out of the frame like it is being wedged in! I pushed from the other side (the glass/display side) for quite a while. It wasn't easy but finally got it out. Usually the backing is a little smaller than the inner frame area so it can actually come out easily when it is "unlocked", but not this one. It is cut "just right" ie too big, therefore it is wedged in. I put my piece in, and then try to put the backing back in -- it wouldn't go back so it is within the metal tabs!! No matter how hard I tried, it just doesn't fit. I honestly didn't know how they even put it in in the first place. I even cut myself on the edges when I tried to bend the backing a little and fit it in. At the end, I kinda got it back in for 3 sides. So it is secure-ish as I can't get it fitted under the tabs on all 4 sides. Haven't hung it up yet, fingers crossed. I bought quite a few frames and never have I experienced this. When it is in though, the framed art is beautiful. My frame looked fine (therefore I give it 3 stars). Just that if I were to do it again, I wouldn't have bought this and wouldn't recommend this frame at all.

Très bien
