I've heard people mention the poor quality of the glass and it breaking, but to be honest for ยฃ32 you can't really go wrong. Obviously replacing the glass is always an option and it's probably best to get some UV protected glass or perspex to protect your prints from the light.

These have been in for well over a year and they get regular checks to make sure the prints are ok. So far so good!

Agreed. Shell out the extra cash and take it to the framers. I tried to cut corners in the past and just ended up spending a fortune getting my collection reframed with UV glass etc...
Trust me, if you value the art, splash the cash to protect the prints.

I've got plenty that do and none have come to any harm from it.
