The SnapeZo is definitely the biggest splurge but so worth it. It comes in the most color options so it’s easy to match with any poster design and fits the most traditional “poster frame” look. However, it’s 3X-4X the cost of our main pick, the Swoodz poster frame.
It’s simple to add any poster to the frame and it will keep it safe. The cover is it comes with is anti glare but some complain that it hasn’t worked the best. A higher anti glare can be purchased for an additional 35$. This can set you back more than $100 in total but will be the best set up in a sunny or well lit location.
