No Quality Control

Having an art record with poorly finished corners and dents is unforgivable. That I have to pay for the return is unacceptable. So be careful.

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price

Good quality and reasonable prices!

I ordered two of these to mount my paper art. They did a great job and I will be buying more of these in the future. I also painted on one with layers of acrylic paint. I am satisfied with this purchase and recommend the product.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Ideal for attaching watercolor painting

I am very impressed with the quality of this panel. The wood is very smooth and takes the stain well on the outer edges. I used it to mount a watercolor painting. I first covered it with a matte acrylic medium and pressed the finished painting onto the surface. I used a roller to get any bubbles out. When everything was dry I cut off the excess paper. I then sprayed a few coats of fixer over the painting. Covered with four layers of wax. I am very happy with the result, I will do more!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
