Product Information
Full details
The Scandi Frame in Black is designed for individuals looking to display photos or artwork with a touch of modern Scandinavian style. Its primary benefit is its versatility, allowing for both portrait and landscape orientation and use with or without the included mount. A potential consideration is the 46mm width of the moulding, which provides a substantial presence that may not suit minimalist aesthetics.

FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the frame?
The external dimensions will depend on the size of the artwork it is designed to hold, but the moulding itself is 46mm wide and 20mm deep.
Can I order this frame in a different color?
This specific product is the 'Scandi Frame - Black'. Please check the brand's other offerings for different color options.
How is the mount sized?
All mounts are cut 3mm smaller on both sides than the intended artwork size, ensuring the edge of your image is not exposed when framed.
Is the glass shatterproof?
The product description does not specify shatterproof glass. Standard glass is typically used, requiring careful handling.
Can this frame be hung horizontally and vertically?
Yes, the frame is designed to hang or stand in both portrait and landscape orientations.
What material is the mount made from?
The mount is cut from 1.3mm white core mountboard.
Troubleshooting
Frame backing is difficult to open.
Gently use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to carefully lift the retaining clips holding the backing in place.
Image is not sitting flat behind the glass.
Ensure the artwork and backing are evenly positioned and that the retaining clips are securely fastened to apply even pressure.
Mount appears slightly smaller than expected.
The mount is intentionally cut 3mm smaller on each side to ensure the edge of your image is not exposed when framed. This is standard practice for framing.
Frame does not stand securely.
Check that the stand mechanism is fully extended and locked into position. Ensure the surface it is placed on is level.
