I frequently showcase my paintings and require having a large inventory on hand. These stretcher bars are the best, not only in quality but in price. It's an amazing value to get a dependable, sturdy product.

Framed three canvas pieces of art.

I bought some stretcher bars in a big box store, they only had even sizes, and were difficult to put together and square up. I needed about an inch smaller than offered and the big box store wanted to charge big bucks for a custom made one. I order from Blick and received a quality product a day earlier than the guaranteed delivery time. Quality product at a fair price.

The stretcher bars fit together snugly. They had been sanded well, so they were pleasantly smooth and I didn't have to worry about splinters. The weight was even throughout each bar and they did the job.

These were better quality than usual standard grade stretcher bars. They went together easily with a rubber mallet and the corners were true. I got a perfect stretch on my canvas with them also. They arrived very quickly too. These were for a tromp l'oil project so I needed an odd size. It was great having an infinite selection of sizes to chose from.

The listing reads: Standard Stretcher Bars . It should read "High Quality" Stretcher Bars.
The wood material is dense, joints fit very snug and hold well, the beveled edge is greater in depth than other bars (routed to a depth of more than 3/8" by what I remember. This distance is keeping my canvas 'lifted' well about the bars edge and less likely to affect a painting. I purchased the bars for giclee works so that was why I purchased the 'standard' bars. Now that I see the quality I will purchase these for actual paintings since I use odd and/or oversized and I did like the features listed.

I just bought a bunch of them. They qualiry ate nice but the STICKERS ..come on...really...you need to put them so big and what kind of glue you used...I am expending already 1/2 hour trying to remove them and just in one set of 4...and I have at least 10 more sets to go... I am using turpentine, alcohol and still are sticky...REALLY. ..I don't have time for this...very disappointed. .

Please, no more stickers! At least put ones on that are easy to remove. They are a blemish when left on and a pain to take off. I'm taking them off to stain the stretchers to look nicer. Also, in some places the wood is super hard and I can barely get a nail through it when stretching. Yes, I'm using nails not staples! Future conservators will thank you. One time the stretcher broke from me hammering the nail so hard.
