Product Information
Full details
The Metro Picture Photo Frame A2 is designed for artists, photographers, and home decorators seeking a clean, modern aesthetic for their wall displays. Its primary benefit is its versatile construction, allowing for both portrait and landscape orientation, making it ideal for displaying large-scale artwork or photographs. One minor caveat to consider is that the frame uses styrene plastic glass rather than traditional real glass, which offers safety and durability but may require specific cleaning techniques to avoid scratching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your frame, place it face down on a flat, clean surface. Carefully remove the backing clips to insert your A2 image, ensuring it is centered. Replace the backing and secure the clips. Use appropriate wall hooks or nails capable of supporting the weight of the frame and print. For cleaning, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive paper towels; instead, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the styrene glazing. If stubborn marks appear, use a very slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then immediately buff dry with a clean cloth to prevent spotting.
