アルテ Arte SH-A2-BK Poster Frame Shape A2 Black

This is a very simple aluminum frame that fits Japanese B2-sized posters. The price point is pretty reasonable, though the original product is much cheaper if purchased in Japan. Buyers should keep in mind that Japanese B2 posters (515x728mm) are not the same dimensions as non-Japanese B2 posters (500×707mm), so make sure you know the dimensions of your poster.It comes with a thin, hard plastic sheet that serves as the cover/screen for the poster, as well as a very basic backing board. Three hangers(?) and a string are included. The hangers latch onto the backside of the frame (in a triangle shape, two on the sides and one on the bottom) and provide loops for pull the string through and hang the frame on the wall with. The frame is fairly minimalistic, but it serves its purpose just fine.The frame is screwed together on the corners, and the shorter sides can be removed to allow you to slide a poster in.While the supplied plastic sheet is more than enough for what I wanted from this frame, I should note that there appears to be enough space in the frame to swap the thin plastic out with some glass or thicker plastic.The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because of the cost of importing it. This frame is somewhere between $10-20USD if purchased in Japan, whereas I paid slightly over $50 for it, so the price difference is very unfortunate. Having said that, it's still more worth purchasing this frame than trying to get a custom sized frame from a framing store, and I'm quite pleased with the product.

I have about 6 posters in Japanese B2 paper size and these work well for the purpose. They come with a sheet to cover the poster, not glass. The nice thing about that is the weight. Putting the poster in is very easy and requires just a phillips screwdriver.Only difficult part compared to the rest is the hanging mechanism. You do not have to use it but what it comes with is a mechanism to add a string for hanging (since these frames are so light).These can feel a bit flimsy when carrying them around but they are supposed to be hung up of course so I do not care about that.This item does cost about 2000 yen in Japan. The price appears includes shipping.
