About the product
Exhibition Slim Wood Stretcher Bars
A Canadian product!
Each bar is made from quality, warp-free, kiln-dried, unfinished basswood, featuring a 3/4" profile. The interlocked tongue-and-groove ends are perfect for tight assembly.
The rounded edge of the bar reduces any surface friction, allowing for a taut stretch when using both cotton and linen. This rounded edge also ensures that there will be no “ghost” impression of the bar coming through the canvas.
Please note: Use of a rubber mallet may be needed when assembling the bars.
Customers praised these wood stretcher bars for assembly ease and great value, with many noting they "came together nicely" and work well. However, some reported quality concerns including difficult corner alignment, tight fits requiring hammering, and occasional breakage. Several appreciated the variety of lengths and helpful staff assistance.

Great. Came together nicely
Very poore quality
Great quality stretcher bars and so much help from the Opus staff to put everything together.
We bought some funky paintings on a recent trip to Africa. To transport them we let to take them off their original stretcher bars and carry rolled up. Back home, we found Opus has all the pieces we needed to restretch the paintings. Never having done this before I was able to enlist one of the staff in the framing section to help and teach me restretch the paintings. I am so impressed with how helpful, friendly, engaging and knowledgeable the Victoria store staff is.
all was fine, on time and free shipping all the way to Edmonton AB
Thank you

I wish Opus would sell the deeper stretcher bars in 12”, 16” & 20” lengths. I purchased two sets of the thin stretchers and screwed them together to form a deep canvas frame, 12” X 36”.
.
Very good quality but as with others they need a bit of expertise to get those corners attached. Once they are lined up the canvas covers up any imperfections.
The staff is so nice and helpful! Thank you
Easy to use and great price
Great product
They are nice if you can get them!!
Does what they need to do but hard to work with. Poor quality cut lines makes joining pieces together and squaring off difficult
The stretcher bars were perfect for mounting the textile art I’d made. It will definitely take more practice to get clean corners, but I managed to get something quite workable. Got great instruction at the framing counter. : )
Excellent product !
They fit very tightly so you have to hammer them together. But they are also flimsy, so parts broke. Frustrating.
It very good
Easy to use, solid wood
They are good enough
Very difficult to slide together. Nearly damage them each time I try to connect the corners.
