It’s important to read the instructions. I have experience stretching canvas and I thought I knew what I was doing. Read the instructions though. I messed up at first because I made some assumptions. Their system is the great!

Great frame, just wrong size for what I needed.

Bars are too thick for standard paint-by-number canvas. The canvas ends on the side of the bar instead of the back of the bar. Worked fine for a cut-to fit canvas I made myself, but if you are looking to frame your own PBN, keep looking for a thinner set of bars!

Was very easy to use. Canvas stuck really well to glue on the wood sides. Pre-made holes made it so easy to use staples at the corners. The stretch wedges fit perfectly too. The hanging hardware was easy to screw into the wood. It hangs on the wall as expected. Only took a few minutes of my time to complete two canvas projects.

The frame itself is decent, I wish it wasn’t so thick and bulky but it gets the job done. Overall 7.5/10.

I thought this was a winner … loved the result, but a year later in an air conditioned house, out of any direct sunlight the glue has yellowed and now can be clearly seen thru the white parts on my picture… and most of the surround is white so utterly ruined … buyer beware.

It seems easy to assemble, but it’s not.
