Don’t be fooled, the frame with mat measures the full 24x36”, this is NOT measured for just the picture only. I was hoping for a frame about 28x40 so that the mat was framed for a 24x36” print, and that’s what I selected when I selected size. The description makes it seem like you are selecting the size of your photo and the mat will be larger to fit. Don’t be fooled, it doesn’t. The size you select is the size of the frame and mat included. Very disappointed and hopefully can return even though it was opened.
