Product Information
Full details
The Metro Frame in Red by Frames By Post is designed for individuals looking to display photos, artwork, or certificates with a stylish, modern aesthetic. Its primary benefit is its versatility, allowing for both hanging and standing in portrait or landscape orientation, with an optional mount for enhanced presentation. A potential consideration is that the frame moulding is 39mm wide and 15mm deep, which may be more substantial than some prefer for very small items.

FAQs
What are the exact external dimensions of the frame?
The external dimensions will correspond to the size of the print or artwork it is designed to hold, plus the width of the moulding. For example, an 8x10 inch frame will have external dimensions larger than 8x10 inches due to the 39mm moulding.
Can I replace the red moulding with a different color?
The frame is sold as a complete unit with the specified red moulding. Replacement of the moulding itself is not a standard feature.
What is the size of the white core mountboard?
The mount is cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard. It is cut 3mm smaller on both sides than the frame's internal dimensions to ensure the artwork edge is covered.
How do I determine which frame size to order for my picture?
Order the frame size that matches the dimensions of your picture or artwork. For instance, if you have an 8x10 inch photo, order the 8x10 inch frame size. The included mount will be sized accordingly.
Is the mount pre-cut for a specific photo size?
The mount is cut to accommodate artwork that is 3mm smaller on each side than the frame's nominal size. You can then place a photo or artwork of the appropriate size behind it.
Can this frame be used outdoors?
This frame is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the materials and finish.
Troubleshooting
Frame backing is difficult to close.
Ensure the artwork and mount (if used) are lying flat and evenly within the frame. Check that no foreign objects are obstructing the backing.
Glass arrived broken.
Contact customer support immediately with your order details and photographic evidence of the damage for a resolution.
Mount does not fit correctly.
Verify that you are using the correct size mount for the frame and that your artwork is appropriately sized for the mount's internal opening.
