The frame has a solid wood finish with the engraving of "Dear Uncle...Our adventure is about to start...I love you already with all my heart" and and "Your wording" on the bottom part of the frame. The wording at the bottom can be as you like, e.g a name and date or anything else you could think of. All you have to do is message us in the gift section when checking out or if you forget or miss it then simply message us through your order. There is a stand at the rear so will sit flat on any surface.
