Easelback

Easelback

Definition

Easelback is a hardware component installed on a small wall-mounted picture frame to convert it into a table-top display frame. It allows the frame to stand upright on flat surfaces such as desks, shelves, or countertops.

Function

• Converts wall frames into free-standing frames for tabletop display.
• Provides stability and proper angle for optimal viewing of the artwork or photograph.
• Works in combination with other frame hardware like rubber bumpers or offset clips for protection and support.

Materials & Construction

• Typically made of cardboard, MDF, or rigid plastic.
• Foldable or hinged design for easy storage when not in use.
• Durable enough to support the weight of small to medium frames without tipping.

Best Practices

• Ensure the easelback is securely attached to prevent accidental collapse.
• Use on flat, level surfaces for safe display.
• Combine with rubber bumpers to prevent slipping or surface damage.
• Check compatibility with the frame size and weight before installation.
