Great for displaying your vinyl, but far too pricey to be reasonable

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2014

These are nicely built frames, they are lightweight, fit 12" vinyl well, including thicker releases (e.g. gatefold, multi-disc, etc.), look good on the wall, and stay-put with the single wall anchor and screw that is included. They are simple, lightweight plastic and don't seem luxurious or fancy, they fit well in a typical college dorm or in the bedroom of a music enthusiast. Simply pressing the plastic button on top releases the frame so the record inside can be removed. It's nice to be able to rotate albums to keep things fresh.

The major problem, in my humble opinion, is the price. I don't feel as though I received a product that is worth the price I paid. I think something like $30 or $35 would be more reasonable for the level of perceived quality and the relative utility.

Exactly What I Was Looking For

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016

Size: SingleColor: WhiteVerified Purchase

I bought this around 2 years ago and I have been very happy with it. I wanted a frame to display the current record that I was playing and had a way to easily exchange the record. This frame does exactly this. It frames the record well and is extremely easy to switch out when you put on a different record.

Some of the other reviews have noted poor quality and/or high price. While I do agree the price might be a little high, I've used it so much that it's well worth it personally. For the quality, the frame itself is plastic. I do not find it flimsy though. It can fit normal records and gatefold double albums well and looks good on the wall. For me, I'm looking more at the album art than the thing that frames it.

After 2 years, it still hold up well.

Pricier than others but hits every check box

I was hoping to find a frame that could meet the following requirements:
-hang with one nail on the wall
-can swap out vinyl discs whenever I fancied
-provide UV protection for the artwork
-preferably glass or high quality, scratch free plastic pane

Luckily this frame was able to fulfill all the requirements. The only down side is that the pane is plastic and not glass. But given that you can hang this frame with one nail on the wall, you would need to use lightweight material to accomplish this. The frame uses good quality materials, seems well designed and thought out. I especially love the fact that I can easily swap out the disc on display to another without having to disassemble the frame or even remove it from the wall altogether. The front pane slides up and forward to allow space to pull the current disc on display and easily slide another in place. The worst part of this frame is the price, but you get what you pay for. I bought a few frames before landing on this one and this is the one that I liked best.

Updated review: Quality does appear to have improved

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2015

Size: SingleColor: WhiteVerified Purchase

Update: I got another 3 pack of these as this is the only model I could find which has UV protective glass/plastic. If you are keeping your albums out, and they are pricey copies you really want to spend the extra money on the UV protection otherwise your covers will fade.

This set I had no issues with, all 3 came in 1 box. There was mounting screws for all of them. They were all new, not dusty or scratched, and the feet all stayed on when I was putting them up. The price point still is very high, but the closes competition is 25.00 each and they to not have any UV protection. So I guess this is what market costs for a semi specialty item. I am at least glad that they have taken some of the negative reviews to heart and have fixed some of the basic issues.
---------
I have purchased these items before. The most recent set of 4 was more cheaply made that the first 7 I had purchased. Every single one lost at least one footing for the back of the wall. There are 4 rubber feet that lift this off the wall. Apparently proper type/amount of adhesive is too much of a cost for a 30-50 piece of plastic.

Also does not even come with a screw or anchor to put in the wall. Really chintzy.

A tight fit for a 4 LP gatefold, but it works!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022

Size: SingleColor: BlackVerified Purchase

Bought this for my boyfriend to frame a 4LP gatefold that was signed for Christmas. Though it didn't snap all around the border of the frame and is quite the squeeze, it DID latch on the very top to secure it. To release it, it is a push-back-and-lift motion.
We are very happy with this frame! Though we have not hung it on the wall yet, I am reporting that it has not snapped open while being handled as a gift or handled. I had to teach my boyfriend how to open it up. He was able to figure out how to secure it again quickly with no problem.
The packaging was very sturdy and frame came in great condition.

Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone looking for a frame that has a little give for albums containing up to 4 LPs. It is worth the price.

Overpriced for this quality.

I bought it for my boyfriend who is obsessed with vinyl. He has vinyl related corner in the apartment and i thought it would be a great gift for him. Bought it for Christmas. When we opened the gift it was not what i was expected, the quality is quite poor for this amount of money, it looks good if look at it from the distance and not hold it in hands.
