I only wish...
May 23, 2013
The only reason I gave this 3 stars is because of PBK inconsistency throughout the years. This is the third picture frame I have bought. NONE of the picture frame scripts, color and size of font match in spite of choosing the SAME FONT each year. It is really disappointing to have spent so much money on picture frames that I wanted to match, and have them all look different.
The first one I bought in '06 has gold font in spite of the description saying it was silver. The second one I bought in 2010 is gold to but the font is completely different. The third one I just bought (in 2013) is the only one that is actually SILVER in color as described, but the font doesn't match either of the other two! If I hadn't of spent so much money on them, I would not be using them. I desperately wish I could exchange the name insert portion of the first two to match the third one.

First year frame

Love this frame! I bought one before our daughter was born, and know I had to by one for our son, who will be born in June! Great way to display their baby pictures and to show how they've grown in their first year!

I bought a lot of similar things in different store, but then gave them back, because this thing looks best. Great quality, good design.

LOVE THIS
February 25, 2013
I read some reviews and was reluctant to purchase this item. But i finally did and i LOVE IT. i get so many compliments and it is such a cute way to document and show off your little one's progress throughout the first year. I had her name engraved and it was a silver color as was the frame. I ordered a 5x7 photo for the larger opening and wallet sized for the monthly pictures and they fit perfect. I have it on a PBK shelf (leaning) along with the pink plka dot bird bank from PBK - looks amazing. very happy

Beautiful piece for baby's nursery. Highly recommend personalizing it. Makes a statement. Annoying to hang, but hanging frames annoys me regardless.

love this frame - got for both kids
January 21, 2013
I bought this frame for my son and got sooo many compliments on it. Its beautiful and the personalization looks very nice. Mine was shiny silver lettering. I loved this frame so much that I ordered another for my daughter and can't wait to fill it. I ordered hers almost two years later and I received the same quality and nice lettering that I got two years ago. Hopefully they continue to sell this so I can order for my future children! I was pleasantly surprised that this also comes with an ink pad and a few sheets of extra thick paper to make hand or footprints with (maybe for the 5x7 space?)

Disappointed in Personalization
December 18, 2012
I bought the matching hand and foot print frame and loved the laser etched personalization. I bought the matching picture frame thinking that the personalization would be done in the same manner. However it was not, instead it was cheaply printed on the mat in a light silver color that doesn't stand out. Had I known, I probably would have not bother to personalize the frame.

disappointed with personalization December 2012
December 11, 2012
I bought this frame for my daughter 2 years ago and had it personalized, I was unhappy with the brown font. I just ordered one for my son and was going to skip the personalization until I read the latest reviews were everyone said the text was in shiney silver. So I took a leap of faith and had his name put on the mat. I was disappointed when it arrived, the text was not shiney silver but instead a purple/grey color. I feel dumb for even trying to put his name on it. I had even called customer service before I ordered it to make sure it would be silver text. They assured me it would be silver as stated on their website, but it was not. Bottom line I love the frame, don't have it personalized.

Hi there- I have had this frame for my niece for a month or so. The LARGE picture space is 5x7. When you order prints for the smaller spaces, order wallet size pictures and they fit absolutely perfect!
I love this frame;)

I was hesitant to purchase this frame and have the mat personalized based on other reviews I read that stated the personalization was in gold while the frame was silver, but I liked the style so much. I decided to buy it anyway. When I received my mat, the personalization was in silver. Pottery Barn must have fixed the problem. The frame was gorgeous too. I am very pleased with it.

I love this frame! I got it personalized and so glad I did! The lettering is in a shiny silver. I'm guessing past reviewers comments led to PBK to be sure the lettering was in silver.

I have bought this for both of my children and it is so fun to compare the two and to just have a year of photos to remember them with casue it is amazing how fast you can forget what was going on by month. I love these frames and would recommend them to anyone

Little Odd
July 24, 2012
I received this as a gift. The personalization is in a light gold color, which I am surprised doesn't bother me. It really should be in silver to match the frame but it doesn't stand out to me. What I think is odd is that it says the large spot is 4x6 but it is 5x7. Also it came with 3 or 4 extra mats but they are 6x8 (guess) and then it came with a black stamp pad. Not sure what I am supposed to do with these things. I do not understand why pottery barn doesn't fix these things. I wouldn't pay 70 for this till they fix these things.

Love the First Year Frame
July 24, 2012
I love the Silver Leaf First Year Frame. I received one of these with our first son as a shower gift and we have bought one for our second and now third son. They are all proudly displayed together. The design matches most decors. I love that we can compare each of the boys pictures when they were at certain monthly milestones.

DO NOT PERSONALIZE THIS FRAME
May 18, 2012
I had gotten one frame unpersonalized as a gift, and decided to get the second personalized - BIG MISTAKE! It ruined the frame!! The personalization is WAY to large for the frame, and it is in GOLD not silver, which is a MAJOR oversight by potterybarn. this is not only a terrible waste of $7 but has ruined an otherwise nice matting to my beautiful frame. The other design flaw of the matting is that the picture sizes for each month are small and very awkward. I'd say save you money on this one- - not worth the 70 bucks. PBK usually does a great job but they missed the mark completely on this one.

Frame is nice-- silver paint scratches easily
April 2, 2012
I ordered 2 of these. The frame is pretty but the silver paint scratches so very easily. Its nice though, especially with your child's pictures all organized. I didn't get it personalized after reading all the reviews about mismatched colors. However I've had to call and return my first shipment and get a replacement due to the mats having little spots on them. They were too visible for me to keep it. 2nd shipment was better.
