This guide is for individuals seeking a stylish and high-quality framing solution for their artwork or photographs. The Frames By Post Metro Black Frame offers a modern aesthetic and durable construction, manufactured in the UK. A key benefit is its versatility, allowing for both portrait and landscape orientation, and the option to use it with or without the included mountboard. One caveat to consider is that the frame is designed for a specific image size.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the frame moulding?
The frame moulding measures 39mm in width and 15mm in depth.
Can I fit an image larger than 40 x 50cm?
No, this frame is specifically designed for 40 x 50cm (A3) images. Larger images will not fit.
Is the included mount pre-cut for a specific size?
Yes, the white core mountboard is cut to complement a 40 x 50cm (A3) frame size. It is cut 3mm smaller on all sides to ensure your image is held securely.
Can I replace the plastic glass with real glass?
While not designed for it, you may be able to fit a custom-cut piece of real glass if the internal dimensions allow, but this is not officially supported and may void any warranty.
What is the color of the frame?
The frame is black.
How should I clean the plastic glass?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the surface.
Can this frame be wall-mounted?
Yes, the frame is suitable for wall mounting and can be hung in either portrait or landscape orientation. Wall fixings are not included.
Troubleshooting
Frame appears damaged upon arrival
Contact customer support immediately with photographic evidence of the damage for resolution.
Plastic glass has minor scratches
Attempt to gently buff out light scratches with a plastic polish or a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consider replacing the plastic glass panel.
Mount does not fit the image correctly
Ensure your image is precisely 40 x 50cm (A3). The mount opening is slightly smaller to hold the image securely; adjust the image placement within the mount if needed.
Difficulty opening or closing the frame back
Check that the clasps or tabs are not obstructed. Apply gentle, even pressure when opening and closing.
