8.5 x 11 Inch Table Top Frame Overview

This size is perfect for bedside tables, office desks, reception counters, console tables, shop tills, and shelving units throughout UK homes and workplaces.​

MDF Construction & Modern Frame Profile

Each tabletop frame is made from MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) for a strong, stable structure and a smooth finish.​

Frame Specifications

• Frame depth: 15 mm – slim, modern side profile that sits neatly on any surface.
• Moulding width: 30 mm – substantial front edge that clearly frames and defines the display area.
• Rebate: 8 mm – internal lip that securely holds the HD plexiglass, artwork, and backing board.

MDF construction helps minimise warping and ensures straight, true edges on all sides, which is especially helpful when frames are moved or handled frequently.​

HD Plexiglass Glazing – Clear, Lightweight & Safe

Instead of standard glass, these frames use HD plexiglass for the glazing sheet.​

Benefits of HD Plexiglass

• Lightweight – easier to move, rotate, and reposition on desks and shelves than traditional glass.
• Shatter‑resistant – safer if the frame is knocked over, ideal for family homes, offices, and busy reception or retail environments.
• Crystal‑clear view – designed to provide a bright, sharp, and clear view of your photo, certificate, or printed sign.

This blend of safety and clarity makes HD plexiglass particularly suitable for Table Top Picture Frame 8.5 x 11 Inches used in both domestic and commercial settings.​

Careful fitting will help you achieve a clean, professional presentation.​

Step‑by‑Step Fitting Guide

1. Place the frame face down on a clean, soft cloth to protect the front and corners.
