1. A paint roller assembly, comprising:
a pair of frame members;
a coupling mechanism for coupling the pair of frame members to each other;
an ergonomic handle attached to a first end of one of the frame members, the ergonomic handle having a fingerhold and a central, longitudinal axis; and
a cylindrical-shaped core attached to a second end of each of the frame members, the cylindrical-shaped core configured to rotate about a central, longitudinal axis,
wherein the central, longitudinal axis of the ergonomic handle is substantially parallel to the central, longitudinal axis of the cylindrical-shaped core when the paint roller assembly is assembled, thereby enabling a user to grasp the ergonomic handle and apply pressure to the paint roller assembly to evenly distribute paint during use.
