Hinged Shadow Box for Military, Memorial, Graduation, or Wedding Collage Displays, Large 14” x 17” Picture Boxes with Clear Glass, Wall Hanging Home or Office Decor, Black

This is nice. I bought it to build a T-scale model train layout. T-scale trains are tiny (*really* tiny and relatively fragile), so an entire layout including an oval track going through a tunnel, landscaping, and all the cool stuff can fit inside this shadow box. My plan is to hang the layout (with the train removed to keep it safe) on the wall when not in use, and then be able to take it down, open the hinged lid, and run my train. This frame is going to let me have a model train layout (and the fun of building it) without having to devote my limited horizontal space to displaying the layout all the time. The frame is sturdy enough, arrived well-packed (with a piece of hardboard cut to size to help protect the glass during shipment--which I plan to repurpose as the base of my layout), has good hinges on the lid, will protect everything from dust, and is just what I was hoping for.

this box was perfect, after my dads brother died (he was in the air force) my dad kept the flag and his uniform on his dresser on a stand but not protected so for fathers day i bought this shadow box and had the flag and uniform placed inside. he loved it. it closes easily and looks great.

Forever Frames shadow boxes are very sturdy and well-made, and the furniture-grade finish and hardware, deep opening, and thick black felt inside are perfect. I use them to display and access vintage jewelry, and as I have a ton of vintage jewelry I have so far gotten four, and I'm not done yet! I have two in cherry, and just got two more in white. Some of my pieces are too long to fit without flopping and I need 20" or more in height. I would happily buy a bigger one from Forever Frames, but this size is their largest . I found others the right size in rough barn wood, or back opening, thin backing, with hardly any depth, or custom made for a much higher price. The craft/hobby store shadow boxes are flimsy and not comparable to Forever Frames. I decided that the excellent design and high quality were more important than these frames being a bit smaller than I need. My first two are wall mounted, the third and fourth were chosen to stand on a white dresser.

This item arrived very soon after I ordered. It came before the due date. I was worried after reading some of the reviews that mentioned broken glass, a bad finish, etc. Well, I did not see any of those problems. The unit was securely packaged by the vendor. (Box within a box). The corners were reinforced with foam and the glass was well protected. The finish is very well done. The wood is good quality with no damage. Due to shelf space, I am intending to display the box on a horizontal side, so the magnet closure will work great with no latch to get in the way. I would definitely recommend this product. The vendor did a great job. I am going to use it to display my veteran brother's medals.

I bought this item because I have a larger shadow box that matches with this color/style. I needed a second one and I was committed to making them match. When I finally got it in one piece it was good enough for what I needed, but I had to order it three times and return it twice. The first two times it arrived with broken glass and I had to return them (fortunately fully refunded). I decided to give it a third go, and this time I added a note in the delivery instructions about this being a very fragile item and to please handle it with care. When I received the package the third time, the glass was finally intact. I noted that the packaging they send this in has little protection and ZERO indication that it contains a fragile object. I highly recommend including a note in the delivery instructions as I did when you order this, I don't know for sure that it made a difference, but better to try it just in case. Keep in mind also that the 2.5 inches is width on the outside, not depth on the inside. I'm docking one star for not including any indication of the item being fragile for shipping. Could be a tad deeper too. Otherwise I got what I expected from the description.

I came up with an idea to make a unique present for our granddaughter; take a box like this and securely attach it to a small table. The give her a bunch of different seashells I'd collected in Florida over the years to arrange in this display box. She loved the gift! Since she opens it to change the shells displayed, I was happy to see the sturdy hinges on this box. We did add a small chain to the lid so that it would stay open (she wouldn't have to hold it open), but the entire unit is very well made and is attractive! I am aware I didn't use this box as the manufacturer intended, but I am sure it will hold up to many years of a little girl displaying all sorts of things in it! I highly recommend it!

This arrived in perfect condition, even more beautiful than the picture, is solid and straight and seems to work well. Since I plan to use it for hanging earrings for display and use I will probably add a small knob to make opening it easier (which should be easy since it is real wood), but for those wanting something to look like a picture frame it would be perfect as-is. The back is not solid wood but most frames are not and who cares if you are hanging it on the wall? The velvet backing has enough thickness that i am able to push a push-pin all the way in and it stays.

Very pleased with quality. These cases are deep and versatile. Real glass. Nice cherry-stained wood frame. Two secure hangers on backs to enable wall mounting vertically or horizontally. Hinges seem sturdy enough, not worried because case is not manhandled or repetitively operated each day. Lids stay firmly closed for wall hanging. I do wish there was an addition of some sort for more ease at opening the case, instead of digging fingernails in between the lid and base. I bought three of these, in two different sizes, to display favorite polished petrified wood samples. An addition of foam I placed inside (covered with textiles of choice) anchors pieces in place for wall mountings. Plan to buy more, in each size, for a wall consisting of only these displays in a creative, but uncluttered, arrangement that will show off favorite wood and and other specimens in a classy way. Haven't figured out best way to illuminate specimens in the cases. Light from outside imposes glaring across the glass surfaces, obscuring view. "Fairy lights" placed inside sounds lovely, might try this. Maybe placed between fabric on foam and a sheer type directly beneath specimens. Would require removal from wall frequently to relace batteries, but easy enough and worth it if the effect is nice. Looking forward to buying more and creating this "museum" wall, now that I've found the cases that are perfect for the project 🙂

This was used as a display case for a retired coworker showcasing his accomplishments- pins, medallions, service awards, etc. Worked beautifully, used short pins and double sided gorilla glue to hold items in place

Perfect great looking case to display a book.

Toller Rahmen als Shadow Box. Meiner war leider an den Seiten gerissen. Kundenservice aber top.

I wish it was deeper. But it's cute

Great size..not too big / not too small. Solid. Easy to hang. Pins not included. Make a great gift!
