Review on 5 Pack 5X7 Inch Acrylic Picture Frame Set - Double Sided Magnet Desktop Display Gift Ideal by Rachel Massine

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality and a good value

I love these frames. This is the first time I've used this type of frame, and I am very impressed. They were extremely well packaged in individual poly bags in individual bubble mailer bags in a box within revain's shipping box. I see no scratches or flaws whatsoever, and the magnets are very small and unobtrusive. As mentioned in other reviews, it is very easy to insert or swap photos or whatever thin material you'd like to display. Yet the magnets are strong enough to feel secure even with two photos inserted back to back. Each panel is about 12mm thick, giving a total thickness of about 15/16" with 2 photos inserted (1 inch = 25.4 mm). That's a little thicker than some other brands but apparently thinner than this product once was in years past. I think it's pretty ideal. They sit securely even in a vertical orientation, but I would not recommend using them where they might be bumped, as they would likely fall over and possibly get scratched. The two disadvantages of this type of frame are that they are not easily wall-mountable, and they don't tilt like a traditional easel back frame. However, I accepted these limitations before purchasing, and I think both issues could be overcome with a little ingenuity. For my purposes, displaying them near eye level on bookshelves, they are excellent. This 5-pack is also the best value I could find on revain or anywhere else. They work out to $11.40 each at the current price, as compared to $15+ for the lowest priced individual 5x7 frames I could find. These would also make excellent and impressive gifts with family photos inside. As a bonus, each frame included a small microfiber cleaning cloth inside the bubble mailers.

Pros
  • Accommodates various photo sizes to add even more versatility
Cons
  • The frames may not be suitable for displaying action shots.
