Americanflat 12.5x12.5 Album Frame with Polished Plexiglass - Record Album Frame for Vinyl LP Covers or Vinyl Records - Brooklyn Portrait Collection - Aluminum Record Frames for Wall Display - Black

I needed a frame to house the autographed album of a favorite band of my brother's. He is celebrating a milestone birthday and wanted to make the gift extra special. This is a great frame for LPs. It is easy to insert the album, yet study. The lines are clean so it doesn't distract from the cover art.

I never imagined that I would be writing a review for modestly simple frames, but these exceeded all expectations for me. From the corner joining hardware to what are some of the best turn buttons ever encountered on what I consider to be an inexpensive frame. You're not going to put some priceless or highly treasured work in one of these, but any regular album you love and want to display is quite secure in these. Going to look at sticking with this line for all general mounting requirements. I have to laugh at the negative reviews because they all sound like they expected a $200+ custom frame from a 4-pack of them for $40. Expecting Tiffany's quality on a Goodwill budget never works. :)

I recently purchased the Americanflat 12.5x12.5 Album Frame in Black Aluminum, intrigued by its sleek minimalist design and the promise of a clear plexiglass front to showcase my favorite vinyl LP covers. Here's a breakdown of my experience with this product, covering its aesthetics, functionality, and customer service experience.AestheticsThe frame's black aluminum build exudes a modern and minimalist vibe that complements any room décor. Its polished plexiglass front, once the protective film is removed, offers a crystal-clear view of the album cover housed within. The frame's lightweight yet sturdy construction adds to its appeal, making it a stylish choice for displaying cherished LP covers.FunctionalityInstallation was straightforward, thanks to the included hanging hardware. The frame hangs flat against the wall, creating a neat and unobtrusive display. However, I noticed the absence of a flat area on the back for attaching a command strip, which would have been convenient for those who prefer not to use hooks or nails. Nonetheless, the frame's light weight allows for secure hanging with a command hook.The frame is designed to hold 12.5x12.5 inch vinyl LP covers, which must be removed from the cover prior to framing. This size specificity is great for standard LP covers, but it's something to keep in mind if your collection includes non-standard sizes. The depth of the frame is adequate to accommodate covers of varying thicknesses, ensuring a snug and secure fit for each piece.Customer ServiceThough my interaction with Americanflat's customer service was minimal, the protective packaging deserves a mention. The frame arrived in excellent condition, testament to Americanflat's commitment to delivering their products safely. This attention to detail in packaging reassures the customer of a risk-free purchase.ConclusionThe Americanflat Album Frame delivers on its promise of a sleek and functional display for vinyl LP covers. Its aesthetic appeal is matched by its practical design, making it a worthy addition to any room. While the absence of a flat spot for a command strip is a minor inconvenience, it doesn't detract significantly from the overall quality and functionality of the frame. At its price point, this frame offers good value for those looking to stylishly showcase their vinyl collection.

The clips are cheap and awkward to make work.

There were lots of choices so I wasn't sure if I had made the correct one BUT when the album frames arrived I was very pleased! In fact, I ordered 4 more! This is a legit review. These frames are TERRIFIC and you will be very happy with your purchase. I sure was!

They can't hold thicker albums but the ones I have look amazing in these frames

Just what I needed.

Everything came in good quality and was easy to assemble. Able to handle thick double vinyls.
