Best Aluminum Stretcher Bars are the straightest, most scale-able bar that meets the needs of artists who work small or very large. They are easy to assemble and allow for both traditional stretching where the canvas is side-stapled, as well as a gallery-style stretching, where the canvas is back stapled. The corners, keys and cross-braces give artists the most professional canvas for their fine painting and artwork.
