I bought this frame hoping that it would be slightly higher in quality then the frames sold at urban outfitters. WORST FRAME EVER! The frame arrived and the edges while wider then the frames at UO, they are lower in quality -- not only do they look cheaper but when placing a normal size record in the frame there tends to be a small gap between the egde of the frame and the record (not the right size for an average record). UO record frames also include a wooden backing to help stabilize the record in the frame, in this frame the records are held in by directly placing spring clamps against the back of the record--pressing into the cardboard and overtime damaging the sleeve! UO frames also have a piece of glass that protects the record, this frame includes only a cheap piece of plastic that looks terrible when placed over the record!

SAVE YOUR MONEY - buy two frames at UO for 20$ before you buy this one for 12.

I was very disappointed. A friend of mine purchased a couple of these as Christmas gifts for me. These frames are oversized for a standard LP cover. There are gaps along the boarders depending how gravity lets the Album Cover sit inside. There is movement. A frame similar to this should be a press fit for any LP Album Cover. The LP should not fit sloppily inside the frame like these frames do. I saw least expensive frames at my local Expect Store for $2.00 each. I bought 2 of those for my daughter and the albums fit nice and snug. They were Christmas presents and they looked beautiful.

The frames from Container Store were a little low on quality. The plexiglass in all cases (2 sheets per frame) were dinged or nicked near the edge, as the plastic is rather flimsy. I had to exchange one of the frames directly to the Container Store because it was unusable. The rest I managed to hide the ding, plus they frames are going in the basement. Even for $13, I'd expect the plexiglass to be of a little better quality. I also wrote a note to the container store about it...

It was easy to put my vintage record into this frame to put on display. The thin black edge works well with my decor, and doesn't look cheap.

I received this frame as a gift, and I'm happy with the quality and look. The frame comes with four spring clips, a spring clip for hanging on the wall, and two clear plastic panels. The panels sandwich the album, providing the "glass" in front, and protecting the record from the spring clips in the back.

I was able to put an album in its original clear plastic sleeve in the frame without issue, and it fit well -- no visible gaps between the album and the frame.

I'm very pleased with the fit and finish of this frame, and will be buying more.
