Product Overview
The YK Artwood Magnetic Poster Hanger allows for the display of your posters, photographs, canvas works of art, prints and all types of light weight wall art. Unlike typical framed artwork which uses glass frames this product does use traditional glass frame styles.
It has two long typically wood strips with magnets attached to each end that grasp onto both the top and bottom edge of your piece of wall art to create an open hanger that makes switching out different pieces of art very simple
Customers Say
Many customers have complimented the easy to read and visually appealing simplicity of the product and also stated that the magnetic hangar has given their posters and prints a much cleaner and professional appearance than using frames.
Customers are generally very pleased with the fact that they can easily switch out their art as the magnetic strips come apart so cleanly and don't require removal of glass or backing panels.
Several buyers praised the ease in which they could hang this item due to its lightness and the ease at which it was able to hang with the included hanging cord, ideal for use in a bedroom, nursery, office, college dorm room or for a casual wall display.
Customer complaints usually relate to two areas of concern: Magnetic strength & Print Weight. A few of our customers state that when you place thicker/heavier artworks on the back of the magnetically held wooden strip, they will slide down. Others state that if you put a large enough piece onto one of these wooden strips that it will flex/bow.

Bottom Line
A minimalist poster hanger like this one is an inexpensive, good-looking option to display your posters, photographs, prints or lightweight art work in a simple way that does not require a heavy frame. The best features of the YK Artwood Magnetic Poster Hanger include its stylish appearance, the ease with which you can quickly switch out new prints and how easily it installs. Unfortunately, the magnetic hold will be weak when trying to hang heavier art work and it lacks protection from breaking like glass as well.
