I bought this to hold a photo from our trip and the shine really does catch the light across the room. The lacquer is hand-polished so it looks smooth and glassy rather than plasticky, and the 5x7 fit is spot on.

The high-gloss lacquer finish is what sold me — it catches the light without looking cheap or plasticky. I've had it on my desk for a few weeks now and the shine hasn't dulled at all.

Bought this to hold a 5x7 of my parents' anniversary and it instantly made the photo look like it belonged in a gallery. You can actually feel how many coats went into the finish — the hand-polished surface is glass-smooth with no ripples or dust bumps at all.
