First, I just want to say that I love this frame. It’s honestly so beautiful and a really great size. The only downside is how long it takes to build it! It was very easy to build, and the instructions were very clear but it took me almost 45 minutes to do! Now that might not be a problem for some, but for me it was kind of annoying. Also, I’m not sure if others had this problem, but as I was building it my fingers were turning black. Im assuming it was dye or spray paint. It was pretty hard to get off my fingers but by the next day it was gone. Totally not a big deal, but just beware maybe wear some gloves when building. And after all of that the end result was gorgeous. It’s pretty sturdy and has two spots to hook in the back to make it easy to hang. I am so excited to put my family photos in this frame!! I still highly recommend this product!!!

So the finished product is very.ice and unique. Glass was important to me and it was.ot plastic. The frame material was acceptable for the price and the holes were drilled pretty accurately. Accurately enough at least. One of the clips that holds the picture frame backs in place was very loose and is probably.ot doing its job. The rivet was just poorly affixed and there is.o way to fix it. There are 4 clips per picture so it will still work. If you replace pictures often this could be an issue as the clips could fail with repeated use. The overall assembly seems sturdy enough and should hang together. The clip that you hang it on the wall with is a little suspect. I am.ot hanging this over something that it could damage if it falls. It is.ot going over my bed Installation: It is sort of comical. Zero instructions - I mean zero in the box, but I knew that coming into this. At first I referenced a video, but it was for a different frame arrangement so be careful there. For the first 5 minutes I thought this thing was a complete mess..ext, I simply used the finished assembly picture found on the Amazon product page (from the back view with the frame.umbers) to assemble it - took 30 minutes or less. A few suggestions: 1. Assemble these in "sets" before connecting the top half to the bottom half. Start with the #1 frame and build around it layering like the picture shows. Do the same thing around the #2 frame and then there are 2 horizontal frames on the left and right that essentially connect the top half to the bottom half as the last layer. Hope this makes sense. 2. Put the wood dowels in first as you layer each frame to make sure you are aligned. Then when you are turning the screws, you have to apply pressure to get them to bite into the wood, but at the same time you.eed to support the frame you are screwing so that it is installed flat and level - otherwise it might angle down making it look poor and installation of the.ext layer difficult. I used a stack of index cards the correct thickness to support the overhanging portion of the frame while I screwed it to the frame it was being layered on. 3. Don't screw too deep as the wood is soft enough that you can screw way below the surface if you keep turning and the screw head will disappear which will weaken the connection. I did it twice before I.oticed. I would.ot use power as the screws are.ot the highest quality and the wood is soft. The finished look is a 5 as it looks great for me. I imagine if you mess up installation or if the holes are.ot drilled properly or you do.ot have patience, then you might feel differently. I will probably buy another one of these.

I guess I didn't read the information, if given, that I had to put the frame together myself. To begin with, my Phillips screwdriver wasn't small enough for the really tiny screws. It took longer trying to find something to use because those were the beginning of the frame and they had to be put in exactly for the rest of the smaller frames to go together. After those first screws the others worked well. I like that I can change the photos as needed. I still need to find a location where I can install the frame in my bedroom. It's an attractive frame set up.

Nice look overall, but it was a huge pain to put together. You have to really crank down on the screw to get it in and with everything put together, the frames were slightly crooked.The diagram in the instructions (first picture) is not thought through and up side down. Number 10 has the hook to put it in the wall and is at the bottom in the diagram, so I had to flip all my pictures by the time I realized it. The diagram just wasn't thought through.The instructions also say to remove film from the glass (2nd picture), but mine didn't come with a film cover. And I also received a broken wooden peg (right peg in 3rd picture) which are used to hold the pictures in place for the screws. Luckily they gave extras.Overall, looks nice overall, but I worry about the sturdiness of it and the hassle to put it together is what ultimately made me give 3 stars. Bought a second one before this assembly and will probably return it because I don't want to deal with putting it together.
