The natural finish of this frame is really lovely, giving the edge a tactile feel and because the corners are rounded, the standard rectangular shape is made more interesting by a softer style. The glass front gives great protection and the strong sturdy strut on the back ensures that the frame stays upright. All four corners have a tiny cross bar inlaid into the actual frame itslef and the photograph is put into the frame from the back by removing the backboard. There are two hooks on the rear of the frame, one on the longer side and one on the short side, so it can hang in either landscape or portrait mode.
