So much better than it even looks in the photo. Now, this is important...you'll see a few different versions of this. I'm writing my review for the 22 x 22 that has a black frame and inner white mats...but it's a double mat, so a black mat rim separates the white of the art from the white mat. It's a little more expensive for that black mat rim, but SO WORTH IT. It separates the art white from the mat white - the whites are a slightly different shade - but more importantly, it REALLY frames the cat, so the image jumps right out of the frame. If you like this, it's worth it to pay a little more and get that inner black mat rim.
