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.
