Review on 🖼️ Set of 2 Rustic Barnwood Picture Frames - Weathered Gray Wood, Wall/Desktop Display - Fits 8x10, 5x7, 4x6 w/ Matte by Mufti Capers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful but very rustic and 5 by 7 wide frosted.

I like the rustic look, real wood and beveled on the inside. However, two things should be noted: the wood is fairly roughly hewn, and the mat's larger size differs by a full inch in each direction. For an 8 x 10 this is perfect, but the holes for a 5 x 7 are actually 3 15/16 x 5 7/8 (since 5 + 5 = 10 you can't expect it to fit two 5 inch wide photos 10 inch space and be mate!). Two 4x6 photos fit on a large matte sheet with acid-free tape holding them in place on the back as there is little to no slack. I understand they need to be a little smaller than 5 by 7 for the overlap, but a full inch crops the grandmother out of the picture. The matte 4 x 6 mat has holes that are 3 7/16 x 5 7/16, which is more reasonable. Finally, since I was giving them away and didn't want to break the receivers, I sanded the frames lightly with very fine sandpaper and brushed them first. The end product looks very nice. You could probably wash them white or decorate them with dried flowers if you want to be smart.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor defects
