DIY Home Decor Wood Picture Frames for Canvas Artwork Wall Art Solid Stretcher Bars Wooden Frame Kit (20" X 28")

This is very useful when you are stretching canvas. I haven't tried it yet but love that it has adhesive on it. Reducing the need for a heavy duty stapler.

I've ordered two of these. One came with instructions and one didn't. I've attached a photo for those who didn't get instructions with theirs. One thing that could have been clearer is that they intend you to fold the corners in at each joint. The text says that, but the photo was too small for me to see it clearly. The piece I was framing was a canvas with dimensions of 47 x 57 cm, with a painted area of 40 x 50 cm and 3.5 cm unpainted borders. Since the painted area was exactly the same size as the frame (not a wraparound) I had to locate the art exactly when placing the bars on the opposite side. The way I did it was to push a pin through each corner of the art and mark where it came out on the unpainted side with a sharpie dot. Also the grooves on the bars are not exactly in the middle, and the bars have a flat and a round side, so be sure to line up all four bars the same way so the corner inserts will fit. The instructions show this, with the groove going closer to the outside, but they don't mention it in the text. I wanted to secure the canvas to the bars with more than just the adhesive, and I didn't have a staple gun, so I tapped in a lot of heavy duty staples (designed for thick papers) with a small hammer (on the back side where they didn't show). The bars that came with my frames had adhesive on the back side only, not the side and back side. Doesn't seem to be a problem though.

Easy to assemble if you follow the pictures. Really need included instructions. It’s best.However the size is what I needed. Love it.

Better then I expected, didn’t come with instructions so had to use the pictures on Amazon as a reference, the adhesive on it is good, I used a staple gun to fasten it on more

Not the quality I expected. I removed a canvas from an old frame. The quality of the old frame was outstanding. The one I just received is only 3/8" thick. There are no directions as to how to assemble and once I do figure out the assembly I'm wondering how it's going to hold up to a canvas being stretched onto it. It just seems flimsy.

Wood frame is the left, right is another wood frame from another amazon seller. Both paintings are16x24, yet the differences are noticeable.This framework is the left side: the long wooden pieces was just a tiny bit shorter so it left more of the canvas in-between the corner wooden pieces which made it harder for the staples to go in. So the staples are actually bended and don't go in all the way and is pointing out of the edge. If hammer it in any more, the staple will stick out if the canvas.As the days went by, the sticky substance that is supposed to keep the canvas on the wooden pieces became less sticking and the canvas was coming off the woodwork. So I had to take this to my brother, wood glue did not work to keep the frame pieces together. So instead, he had to nail the frame together, and then nail, again, the canvas onto the wood because the sticky substance was not working. Not to mention the overlapping along the edges. Because the woodwork measurements was a tad off, the painting is overlapping on the edges. While, the image on the right, there is no overlapping along any of the edges.I am very upset because Inuyasha (left) does NOT look clean, smooth, and flat like Sesshomaru (right) does. Sad to say, I will not be buying the framework from this seller. Honestly, if this one didn't have holes and left over wood glue and such from my brother and I trying to make it work (other wood frame came in later), I'd return, get my money back, and buy the other wood frame in a heartbeat. Sorry, but I am willing to spend $10 more on the other framework.

A very good value for money, and easy to use for my purpose.

We had to make it working by using additional wood staples, otherwise adhesion is not goodAlso as suggested by other users, frame strips are really small, infact you can get whole printed frame at Ross or similar shop cheaper than this

Got the frames. You put them together with two sided tape and staples in the corner. The canvases don’t get super tight. I bought a bunch of these and spent a ton of money. In the bulk order, I was missing four staples. I reached out to the seller and they want a photo of the missing items… not sure how I can send a photo of missing pieces? No help. They don’t stand behind their product. My opinion, go with a different seller/brand. The two sided tape doesn’t hold for long.

The overall concept is good and relatively easy to assemble. But, it came with no instructions, the metal staples were a few millimeters too short and the package was missing the level that was listed in the description diagram of items included ... hence the 4/5 stars.Thank you "Match295" for posting a picture of the instructions, they were so helpful!

Perfect!!
