I bought a bunch of these for work. I used it to put employee certificates, and it gave a nice touch to the presentation. The only bad thing is when you take them out of the packaging, some of them had a white tint to the sides where the cardboard protection was. I had to wipe them off with a wet cloth.

These are a great deal and look quite nice for the price. Unfortunately the hole for hanging them horizontally is off center. So it takes a bit of effort to balance them and make them hang straight. Too bad, fine besides that.
Comments about Staples® Leatherette Frames, 8-1/2" x 11", Black, 2/Pack:
The quality of the frames is not acceptable and I am very surprised that Staples sells a low end product such as this one. 1)The first problem is the poor packaging. Two certificates are wrapped in plastic, with white paper "corner protectors" attached. Upon removing the plastic wrap and corner protectors, 98% of the time the white has rubbed off onto all 4 corners of each frame, leaving a white stain on the black frame. It seems the corner protectors are baked on, transferring the white color to the black frame, ruining it. 2) The second problem is with the plastic insert that protects the docuement, within the frame. At a minimum, 1 of the 2-pack frame inserts are damaged upon reciept, and sometimes both inserts are damaged and must be thrown away. Instead of being flat and translucent, the inserts are wavy and have bubbles in them, distorting the document being displayed. Again thses also seem to always arrive with some sort of heat damage.

When I read the description I figured it would be higher quality, it is not quality anything it was warped when we received it and it was not anything to write home about. Kind of dissapointed Staples would even sell a product like this.

I have gotten these frames in the past and been very pleased. HOWEVER, this time I got 36 to use as award frames and had to repair EVERY one of them due to improper cuts on the back during production. Couldn't return them because we needed them immediately. We will have to look for another product with better workmanship for next years awards.

Q:
How come customer service tells me this is discontinued, and the web page says it is a new item? How come the warehouse or any stores in chicago don't carry this item?
