The wood of the frame is distressed somewhat which is a good fit for a picture of a family farm and tractors. The black color also goes well with a black modern storage unit in the same room. The glass is slightly scratched in several places; however when put together with the picture you cannot see the flaws in the glass. The hanging brackets are attached to a cardboard backing which could pull away from the frame in time; however, the fasteners that keep the backing in place are placed all around the edge. My hope is that the fasteners will prevent the cardboard from bowing and will keep the brackets from pulling away.
