Hanging Nightmare!

Don't get me wrong the frame is beautiful. Only we had to leave the frames on the table for months while trying to figure out how to transfer them. The frame dimensions are correct. Looks good BUT the back design is really disappointing and you may need to customize it like my roommates and I did. We are tenants but are allowed to use nails. The frame is heavy. So if you don't have a stud to put a nail in, you risk ruining the drywall. The hanging mechanism on the back is a flimsy sawtooth hanger if you don't want to insert 2 nails to attach the top of the hanger. The sawtooth is not on the edge or edge of the frame, but closer to the center. This is a problem because the aluminum edges of the frame stick out 3/4 inch, so the sawtooth mount doesn't sit flush with the wall. We had to thread some clips through a sawtooth hanger and then pray they would hold onto the frame in the event of an earthquake. Also, 98% of the command strip hangers will not work with this frame, the edges are too thin, the flat section as mentioned does not sit flush with the wall.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • May damage
