Clever but lacks some expected features

This is a clever convergence of two different products that looks nice and frees-up some desk space. But it lacks features one expects in both.
The speakers sound fine at reasonable volume levels for an office or workspace. However there is no independant volume control and no inputs for peripheral devices. And most frustrating of all, even though the frames are sized for snapshots, you can't display most of them because the speakers won't stand sideways for landscape photos.
If you want to display your landscape-syle snapshots, you have to prop the speakers up on something behind them. In fact they're not very stable in any position and tend to topple over easily.

It doesn't have the best sound quality, but it is compact and you would never know they were speakers just by looking at them!
I would purchase again! Great idea.

Everybody thinks that I just have photos of my family on my desk, until I tell them that these frames are speakers for my computer. They always ask how can they get a pair, and of course I tell them that I ordered them from Brookstone.
