A: Hi LKLawrence - We'd be glad to help with more information. This picture frame is not made to be hung on the wall. It has a easel back, that allows you to place it horizontal or vertical on a table top. Thanks for asking! - Chelsie
A: Hi D - Great question! For the best results, we would advise to keep the mat as originally received. But the matt is removeable as desired to fit a 8x8 photo. Hope this helps, thanks for stopping by. - MJ
