I bought this to replace a similar frame that I had bought at Bed Bath and Beyond. In fact I had 2 of the frames from Bed Bath and Beyond and they only lasted a few months before star- like cracks developed around the magnets. The clarity of this frame is much better as well. The frame from Bed Bath and Beyond develops a hazy appearance to the acrylic after a while. This frame seems to me to be of much better quality and is worth the additional cost compared to the previous frames. So far I am very satisfied with my purchase.
