Very poor printing of the picture I sent to replicate. No definition in large areas. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. My photo was going to be a gift but now I'm not sure what to do with this.. Think very hard about spending your money there

Absolutely overpriced and takes forever to ship. When you place an order it ships from China. They just put a 5x price tag on it. Avoid buying from this vendor.

This was a very disappointing experience, especially for a company that positions itself as customer-focused. This item was received as part of a Yankee Swap. I did not personally purchase it, nor did I know who did. Instead of helping resolve the issue I raised, the response I received focused primarily on identifying the original buyer rather than addressing the actual problem. Losing a potential customer because you are unwilling to drill down and help—regardless of who made the original purchase—is not how you grow a customer base, let alone a loyal one. This was a clear opportunity to demonstrate good faith, flexibility, and service. A simple response such as: “Sorry for the inconvenience. Here is the missing paint, and we’ll include a small discount on a future purchase” would have completely changed my perception of the brand. Instead, the interaction felt rigid, transactional, and dismissive. I hated this experience. It did not make me want to become a customer, recommend the company, or purchase again. Customer service should focus on solutions, not gatekeeping.

AWFUL experience. Have not received the item. Ordered a few Christmas kits for a party on Christmas eve. Ordered them on November 21...It's December 26 and still have nothing to show. Customer service is unhelpful, they made me call THEIR shipping provider to track down my package...called 3 times and finally got told it was lost. Asked for a refund and was refused. I filed a complaint with my bank.

Your feedback is taken seriously, and we’d like the chance to make things right. 💛

Poor quality canvases. The first canvas I received was smooth so it was relatively easy to paint neat lines within the paint section areas. However, the last 2 canvases I received are rough and it's almost impossible to paint neatly on the lines and within the paint sections. Furthermore, the print area and the image of the painting wrap around the edges so I won't be able to hang up the pictures because the edges will look messy. Waste of money and I won't be buying again.

Hi Jaycee, Thanks for taking the time to share this. I’m sorry the recent canvases weren’t up to the standard you expected. The surface texture should be consistent, and you shouldn’t have to struggle to get clean lines. The wraparound print on the edges also sounds frustrating, especially if it keeps you from displaying your finished work. We want to make this right for you. If you reach out to our support team at [email protected], we can look into replacements or another solution that fits what you need. We appreciate your feedback and hope we get the chance to turn this around for you.

Could not get the canvas to lie flat. Tried weighting down with a heavy book...nothing. Tried a warm iron...did nothing but change the surface texture. Do not purchase a product like this that is not already mounted with a substantial backing.

Hi Gary, We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and truly appreciate your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when the canvas doesn’t lay flat, especially when you're excited to begin your painting. While many of our customers have success with unrolling and gently flattening the canvas—or using a warm iron on low heat with a protective cloth—it’s clear this didn’t work for you, and we’re sorry it caused such inconvenience. We also offer pre-stretched and mounted canvas options for those who prefer a ready-to-paint surface, and we're always working on improving the quality and presentation of our kits. We’d love the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to our support team at [email protected] with your order details, and we’ll do our best to offer a solution that works for you. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us grow and better serve our community. 💛

I bought 3 canvases and they are all creased useless products. They don’t do refunds so it’s a scam.

Your satisfaction means everything to us, and we’re disappointed to hear that your canvases arrived with creases and didn’t meet your expectations. That’s not the experience we want for any of our customers. While we do mention certain refund limitations on our policy page, we always want to make things right when a product arrives in unsatisfactory condition. We'd love the opportunity to resolve this for you. Please reach out to our support team at [email protected] with your order details and a photo of the issue. We'll do our best to assist you promptly and ensure a solution that works for you. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve and better serve our customers. 💛
