Adeco 12-Piece Handcrafted Wooden Wall Art Collage Picture Frame - 4x6 Inch Photo Display for Home Decor, Black (Perfect for Living Room, Bedroom & Office Wall Decor)

You need to know it is plastic and not glass for the individual frames. The frame is not real wood. I fear it could break easily if it falls off the wall. It hasn't at this point but I don't have any young kids running around the house to knock it off the wall. all in all I am able to put pictures in it and I am able to hang my grandkids pictures on the wall.We like this frame, the look of it, and the fact that it holds 12 photos. We don't mind the plastic 'glass' at all. We use it to hold unique photos of birds we take on our birding trips, and it does a fine job of that with its whimsical shape.However, you should be aware that you'll probably have to trim 1/16 inch or so off one side and end of each picture in order to get them to fit in the frame. The sample photos supplied with the frame have the corners cut off to fit the rounded corners of the CNC cutouts. In spite of that the sample pictures are slightly more than 1/16 inch less in size than 4x6 inches and they are a still a snug fit. There are thin slots in each of the rounded corners of the cutouts that are meant to accept the corners of your photo. That's fine for holding them in position even though you have to do a bit of fussing to get the photo corners in the slots. If you fail to trim the photo before attempting to slip the corners into the slots you will find the photo cannot lay flat, it's simply too big for the size of the opening.I don't know if this is a programming mistake in the software used to control the router that makes the cutouts or if it's simply a design error. There's no reason the manufacturer should allow this manufacturing error to continue. It's simple for them to fix.It's annoying to have to cut down two sides of every picture in order for them to fit in the frames. We're going to deal with it because we like the overall shape of the frame. I just want to make you aware of the problem before you make the purchase. Perhaps ours is from a bad manufacturing run, but even so there would have been at least a few dozen that would have the same problem.UPDATE 2/14/2013: We received two more of these frames and rate them the same as the first one. Yes, we still have to cut down the pictures a bit. We'll deal with it.Here's a hanging tip: the sawtooth hanger supplied on the frame won't work with the typical picture hanger without the hangar itself showing above the frame. Ugh, ugly. This is easily remedied. With a #1 Phillips screwdriver unscrew the two sawtooth hangar screws. Move the hanger directly down to the frame below the top vertical picture, center it over the narrow frame and use a small nail and hammer to create starter holes for the screws in the new location. Strike the nail just hard enough to leave about a 1/8" deep impression. Now screw the sawtooth hanger in this new location. It's a bit tricky to get the hanger on the frame over the picture hanger mounted on the wall, but once you've done it the wall hanger no longer shows. Nice.The layout of the frames in this pattern look GREAT against the wall. Flat front surface means this doesn't look like lots of little frames put together - neither good nor bad, just depends on what look you want. If you have one of those up already, though, avoid putting this next to one of those kinds if you can. It's not plaid-and-stripes bad, but it makes you compare them.Individual back panels make this really easy to load and change out photos. A single piece backing is my only real rejection criteria for a mosaic frame, so this is good.Glass part of frame is a thin plexi, not real glass or a quality mil of plexi. But it's not scratched or heat-warped so you can't tell when viewing. I had no problems with the plastic sticking to true prints (as some plastics do with inkjet prints, due to static cling, and cause a marbling effect in the view).One unambiguous hassle is that the opening is not true 4x6 - I had to cut about 1/8th of an inch of both dimensions of my 4x6 prints to fit them in the frame trays. Use a different frame if you have non-reprintable or heirloom photos or artwork.About shipping - the first one received had a crack in the surface, so be sure to check. Got a replacement without any problem. It comes sandwiched between thin styrofoam boards - one of these broke as I took it out and I then spent 10 minutes picking little pieces of styrofoam fluff off of the outer and inner edges of the frame.PROS:- beautiful design- looks clean- easy loading frame-by-frame (not a single piece backing)CONS:- have to trim down 4x6 photos to 3 7/8 x 5 7/8- thin plastic instead of glass or good-thickness plexiglassI've seen a lot of these mosaic-style frames high and low in price and in quality; this one's expensive and worth it for the design, if not the quality. The quality of the materials is not high, but that said it doesn't look low-quality when it's hanging up.BOTTOM LINE: If you are visual design oriented and care about layout, you will be happy with this frame on your wall and the ability to switch out images. If you are quality-oriented and looking for a frame that will last a lifetime - or even possibly a trip in the back of a truck without bubble wrap - you will be happier with a more substantial frame.For the price I payed for these I definitely was NOT expecting the receive a box full of frames, little baggy of screws, and the worst directions ever!, If it wouldn’t have been for my husbands determination I was already headed to the trash to pull back out the box to send back!! Craziness! I believe the numbers on the back of the frame had been misplaced and he had to match to directions by screw holes! Once put together it was nice. Would not purchase again though! For the price I could save myself a headache and purchase one already put together!!Looks great on our family room wall. Used it to display my husband's great fishing adventures and his great catches.Only in Beautiful British Columbia!!I loved this collage frame. It was very carefully packaged and I know it will look beautiful in the room.
