I purchased this frame several weeks ago and I'm using it with the stand versus mounting it on the wall (although I'll eventuall get more for that purpose!).  It's really unique - like a piece of artwork -  and the photo looks amazing in it.  I put a wedding photo of my great grandparents in it and the frame surpases my expectations with respect to how good the photo looks in it!  The frame really showcases the photo!  There are ingenious rubber "clips" to hold the glass together and once they're in you can't see them because they fit seamlessly into the frame.  Because you can also see the majority of the back of the photo, I'm able to see a note written on the back by my grandmother telling me when and where my great grandparents were married.
