MBC MAT BOARD CENTER Pack of 10 Premier Acid-Free Pre-Cut 16x20 White Picture s for 11x14 Photos

I will start off with this; I used to work at a photography and framing business. Framing (frames+ mats) photos are expensive. I already had four 16x20 frames that I wanted to use for a gallery wall and if I got them all professionally framed, whew, ouch.The pros:The mats are very nice quality of material, not flimsy, and don’t feel cheap.You get 10 of them, so if you only need a few (four in my case) you have some spares. The cheapest I found for mats was at Michael’s for 8.99- so if you actually needed 10 mats you’d be spending 89 bucks-of course they have coupons but you catch my drift you’d be spending more than these.Cons:The pictures may look troubling but let me explain-Out of 10, only one on the front was visibly damaged. It had a rip on it which I was able to cover with transparent tape, I’m hoping it will not be noticeable in the future if I use it, but if not, it still feels like a pretty good deal to me.There was a blueish stain on the back of one, you couldn’t see it on the front so still very usable. Lastly, on all of the mats there were at least two edges that got crinkled in.Overall I would say if you are using these just at home, for a project(for art school or what not), or even a photographer to display your work then I’d say yes. These are definitely a pretty good buy for you.If you are a professional photographer who, for example sells prints to clients framed- no, probably not. In the case your client goes to switch out a print in that frame they’d see they have a damaged mat and(some people could care, some could not) they could be upset.What I would recommend to the seller is maybe find a better way to wrap your mats, you could use better material( in this case it came in a smaller box, and they were all together wrapped in Saran wrap) to possibly avoid damaging those edges and ripping mats. Or using a bigger box to accommodate wrapping them with bubble wrap. So they don’t dent the edges in transit. You could raise the cost a couple bucks and people would still get a really good deal.All in all, I am happy. Make sure if you are using these or need them for a project for school to Give yourself plenty of time in case you need to return them for new ones.

I pulled the first few mats and used them and was happy. Nice corner cuts, bright white, acid-free. Today a pulled one for a finished piece of art and as seen in picture the mat is flawed. Never should have been sent. Where’s your quality control? This is not something that I did. It is most definitely not a bended mat, but a flawed one. I realize that these mats are not expensive, but we artists have tight budgets. I’m just disappointed. Will pay a few bucks more for 10 mats that I can use!

Very happy about this purchased. Regret a bit because at time of placing the order there was only one pack left. I use these to frame my own drawings. As I am no pro artist I definitely don't want to spend at Michael's. The dollar tree 11x14 frames are very nice with real glass. These mats fit in those frames just right. The cut is nice and clean. Made my own drawing look like something expensive. LolDescribed as 'used' but arrived in plastic wraps. No sign of being used. I believe they were just opened and returned. Need to look for other sizes.

They look great. They look like 4×4 photo frame mattes, for some reason I thought they would come with the matte backing too. I was going to sell some of my prints, but I guess I have to buy that back matte seperately.

6 were white and 4 were yellowed or off white.
