Shoppers love the vibrant colors and it's described as a "great addition" to coffee bars. Most found it "sent with care" in protective tubes.

Perfect fit with a tiny trim — still 100% worth it!

I used a frameless online frame with no border allowance, and it was just 1/16" too big on each side — barely noticeable. A quick trim with scissors and it fit like a glove. For any standard frame with a lip, it’ll be absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!

Lovely poster

Love that it came in a hard tube to protect it. Size is a little awkward for the usual IKEA frames but it's no big deal
