Blick Studio Wood Gallery Frames are the best choice for displaying artwork or photos when you want the image to do all the talking.

These frames are constructed of wood, which is then gessoed and painted for a satin finish. The acrylic face is lighter than glass and is less likely to shatter in transit. The 1¼" (32 mm) depth of the Wood Gallery Frame is ideal for stretched canvas.

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.

Color Matching — We do our best to match the color of frames, both on our website photography and in our catalogs, but differences in technology may affect the appearance of the photo on your screen. You are entitled to return, for refund or credit, any frame that does not meet your expectations. Remember that the frame size is the size of the artwork a frame is designed to hold, not the exterior dimensions.

Nice product for sale items.

Comments about Blick Gallery Wood Frames:

Very easy to use. I use them for framing pastels for sales, they are very indiscrete frames and do not distract from the paintings. Finished product has a clean and modern look. Solid and sturdy construction. I have had a few dings and nicks on the frames, but overall an excellent product. I prefer them to a similar style metal frame.

Comments about Blick Gallery Wood Frames:

At these prices, I cannnot make frames from scratch to beat them. They may not be ready for a top gallery, but look at the prices! They are plain and understated, you can always replace the acrylic with glass. They work for me to keep the prices on my work low, and folks wind up changing the frames to match their own sensibilities sometimes anyway.

The acrylic face I received is covered in scratches. I thought they were just marks on the protective film, but no such luck. This is going in the trash.

Acrylic face came all scratched

Pros

Comments about Blick Gallery Wood Frames:

The acrylic face that comes with these came with tons of scratches all over it. I ordered two and they both had scratches. Returning them is a pain and not worth the effort, but I'll never buy these again!

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Merchant response: Blick attempts to send out every order free from defect or damage. However, these types of issues do arise occasionally. We apologize for this. Customers who receive damaged or defective items should contact our Customer Service department via email or by calling (800) 723-2787 and we will work with you to rectify the situation.

Poor Quality Control

By dwillis

Pros

Cons

Comments about Blick Gallery Wood Frames:

I'm developing a real love-hate relationship with these frames. Roughly half of the frames I received were chipped or dinged in some way, making them almost unusable for exhibition. I'm contemplating sending them back for a replacement or refund but I'm not sure I want to undergo the hassle of repacking them and hauling them off to the UPS store. I use to recommend these frames with the addition of new glazing but now I'm having serious doubts about their quality. They are easily susceptible to damage and any defects in the finish really show how poorly made they are.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Merchant response: We apologize for the issues you encountered with this product. If you are not completely satisfied with the quality of the merchandise you receive, you are entitled to a full replacement or refund. In this case, we would recommend considering the Blick Essentials Wood Frames, which are solid wood, rather than clay coated, as we believe the clay coating is the source of the chipping. We ask that you contact our Customer Service Department at 800-723-2787 within 30 days so that the exchange, refund, or credit transaction can be arranged to your satisfaction.

For Home Use only

By Seattle Painter

from Seattle

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Blick Gallery Wood Frames:

I was surprised how nice they looked when my first shipment of frames arrived. However, the second shipment arrived broken. Dick Blick was great and without any hassle sent me a replacement. So that was great, but the frames chip really easily, the wood color is too yellow and my biggest complaint: I drilled holes in the back so I can add a wire for hanging. The frames are not solid enough for that, and several of my pieces fell off the wall after a day or two. Also the Plexiglas is really, really thin. Bottom line, I would never order them again to use professionally. I would only use them for framing up a kid's painting or a small family photo.

"Wood"? Yuck.

Comments about Blick Gallery Wood Frames:

I've been using pre-made natural wood frames for years as a good, economical way to frame up artwork. At some point along the way, the glass was switched to plexi--not great, but the wood was still good, so I continued to use them. Just bought these without looking closely--it seems they've now switched the real wood for some simulated wood product. Tacky and ugly! I'm taking them back and going to another source. I'm happy to pay a few dollars extra for the real thing--Blick, are you listening?

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
