The metal frames are my go-to frames for the last 30 years. One slight observation - it appears that the screws that are used to connect each corner have changed in the past 10 years to a smaller, less durable version. I will still order these, however.👍

I ordered 16 smaller pieces of matboard for an artist's book project - 8 with windows and 8 blank. All the pieces were excellent quality and cut very precisely and uniformly. The order arrived when expected. A very good experience; I will order again.

I ordered 100 % acid free mats. Sand Dollar white is perfectly white but not stark. The arrived well packed and safe. I am a professional artists who uses white mats with standard black frames. I order in bulk.

I use this mat for all of my artwork. It’s a great basic white - not stark or distracting. I ordered a custom cut mat and it was exactly as ordered. In addition, the packing was excellent.

I’m not expecting too much for the product I ordered since it’s just a mat for the frame. However, the last time I purchase a frame from this company, I was really happy with the product and the care they put into packaging the Frame shows how they give importance to every item they sell. So I was so happy to see that my order was given the same importance. I will always recommend this company.
