Hearing a giant crash in my office, my first I thought was that the cats knocked over something. I walked in and saw that my framed Red Stripe poster had dropped to the floor. Definitely not cat related.

Shattered glass was everywhere. Luckily my poster wasn't damaged. I rolled it up and then angrily threw away the frame and all the glass fragments.

This was my fault. I wanted to save some money so I used a 50% coupon for a frame at Michael's. The construction of the frame didn't seem very sturdy and my poster wasn't laying as flat as I wanted in the frame, but I hung it up anyway.

Looking back, it was not the smartest move. I should have not put the frame up. I should have taken it back to Michael's for a refund.

Well, I learned my lesson that hard way. You get what you pay for. I am going back to my favorite frame at IKEA that I know will last.
