These ready-made frames are crafted from solid pine, then hand finished with fine-quality stains and softly antiqued to give the look of an expensive, custom-made frame. Each frame has a wood liner.
These frames have a rabbet that is approximately 3/8" deep (about 10 mm), sufficient for a single-matted or double-matted work on paper, but not deep enough for stretched canvas.
Note — Hanging hardware not included.
Frame Depth — The depth of a frame refers to the depth of the frame's rabbet (the cut-out area behind the frame's molding that holds your artwork in place). To find a frame that will accommodate your artwork, measure the depth of the artwork, including any matting or mounting materials, and order a frame with a depth that is, at a minimum, the same as that measured depth.
Note — Frames are sized by the opening, not by the outside of the molding. To determine the size of frame to order, measure the outside of your artwork, including mat, and order that size frame. The frame will overlap your artwork ¼" all the way around, so your artwork will fit nicely behind the frame's molding.
It's a nice looking frame in the picture but I ordered 3 of these and they are all messed up. The wood is separated on all the frames and needs glue to hold together. Then I need to touch them up with paint. One has a chip in the corner and another has a small split. The largest frame I ordered was a 24"x36" and one side is warped so it won't even fit the painting. I need to get that one replaced. Bottom line is that the frames have potential but are poorly constructed.

Comments about Blick Classique Wood Frames:
I purchased my first order of wood frames just a few weeks ago, which ranged in sizes , 8x10,,20x24,,and 24x36. I was a little leery at first - only having a picture to go by. MAN....DID I STRIKE GOLD !!!! They are - fantastic ..and today my second order arrived [ totaling about 20 - frames in all ] The frames are an extension of my paintings, and i couldn't be more pleased ..
