$10 for a glass frame is a good price. I use the MCS Format frames in several sizes because the thin black frame does a good job emphasizing the art work (photo) without distracting.

I have 40+ photos displayed in my office using these inexpensive frames and I always get compliments on their simplistic, professional, appearance.

I do recommend buying these frames only when they are on sale and to buy them bulk (makes the shipping reasonable). Adorama and Michaels have them on sale several times during the year.

I ordered three of these for matching poster prints. They arrive quickly, and were packaged well, with lots of padding.

The first frame cracked when I was putting the glass back in, I barely put any pressure on the corner because I was afraid of breaking the glass or fragile cheap plastic frame. So I'm not really sure what happened here. A little glue fixed it though.

I unwrapped the second frame to find the glass on the top corner chipped away on the inside. It wasn't too terribly noticeable from a distance so I went ahead with installing my poster. It was a nightmare to get that corner back in the frame, the glass was weak from being chipped and was sharp. I had to use a towel to apply pressure, even still it took several tries and a lot of cursing to get it in.

The third frame, surprisingly, was fine.

Overall the frames look nice, but are not easy to install artwork into, and are obviously flawed. I don't think the damage to the second frame came from the shipping as they were wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap. Perhaps they need a little quality control?

MCS Platic Format frame comes with glass glazing and leaves only the smallest black edge visible to detract from the poster or photo mounted in it. Good value, I use them with every production poster we put up in the office.
