American Frames Hardwood framed photo in the Strategist office.
Shipping: 5 | Print Quality: 4.5 | Frame and Mat Quality: 5 | User Experience: 4.5 Level Frames offers several framing options: custom-sized frames, standard photo frames, collage frames, tabletop frames, and even custom frames for your vinyl. Once you’ve made your choice (we opted for the standard hanging frame) the process is super simple and pared down. After uploading your photo you can rotate, zoom, or crop it. Then you have the choice between lustre or matte paper and a total of ten frame styles ranging from plain black or white, to vintage style frames in gold or silver. You can either choose your own mat width or you can click the Golden Ratio button which will adjust the mat to the best ratio for your photo size. There’s a second button that lets you share a preview of your frame with friends to get a second opinion which could be helpful for folks who have never had something framed before. Where acrylic is concerned there are three options with the anti-glare UV protector costing a mere $5 extra. We were impressed when our order arrived in just four days. And even more impressed with the quality of the frame and mat. The weathered black wood frame we chose is dark but with subtle highlights that keep it from looking too heavy or serious. The mat is well cut and firmly sandwiched in place. As for the print quality we chose lustre which seems to be enhancing the digital texture of the photo a tiny bit. But honestly you have to look really closely to see that. With other services, the plethora of options could become stressful to navigate, and Level’s automation and limited choices were actually a nice relief. TL;DR: If you don’t have a ton of time, you get overwhelmed by choices and you’d like some help with the process this is the service for you. .
