This frame looks exactly it does in these images. If anything, the quality is better than the photos represent. It is heavier than I expected too, which I like. I chose this one because it was priced about 20% less than similar frames.I got this to frame a vintage postcard as a gift. It's nice because you can see both sides of the postcard. I wouldn't have initially considered it for a photo, but now having seen it, I think a photo would look great in it too. It would be impressive on a desk or See full review
