12/30/25 Update: Kline did not offer me the option to return the piece, however, after much negotiation they did off a partial refund, which will cover the cost for a local frame shop to make the necessary changes to suit my taste.
I bought two pieces. One met my expectations and the other didn't. They are slow to respond to resolve the issues with the second. I asked about them paying the cost for return shipping and have not had a response. They offered a very low discount to keep the [what I consider] flawed piece. Hoping we can come to a resolution soon.
Update:
12/16/2025 - Thank you for your call this morning. You did not offer a 100% refund or offer to pay returning shipping costs. In our call you confirmed the percentage refund would be the original 10% offered plus an additional 20%. The total refund comes to $476.70. Since I am unaware what the exact charge the local print shop will charge me to alter the piece issues I would appreciate you honoring this offer.

Hi Judith,
We’re very sorry about what happened.
We did send you an email earlier, but unfortunately we haven’t received a reply yet. Could you please respond to that email and also check whether our messages may have gone to your spam folder?
We’ve also tried reaching you by phone a few times, but haven’t been able to connect.
Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

I love it
I love it. But it is very expensive. The discount made it affordable, but the craftsmanship made it priceless. I’m so glad I didn’t miss the promotion.

Very nice artworks
Very nice artworks. The results are so much better than what I expected. I like it because nowadays people go for prints, not painting. I do respect the artist who is really skilful. Hope they can get more commissions! One complaint is that the process takes longer than expected. I wish they wouldn't use DHL!

Hi Kian,
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re so glad the artwork exceeded your expectations and that you value original hand-painted pieces and the artist’s skill.
We appreciate your note about the longer process and the DHL delivery experience and will share this with our team as we continue to improve.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Best regards,

not recommended... go buy something in person
I purchased Spectrum of Hues in a custom size. The first iteration looked absolutely nothing like the original. Not even close. After several revisions the final piece did get closer to the original, but still with significanly more orange/red which does not really fit our aesthetic. It arrived with the wrong frame (gray, we ordered white) and a small crack in the frame. The shpping crate was impossible to open, splinters everywhere. The shipping label was from some unknown company in China. The piece is not signed. On the back of the piece someone wrote the supposed artist's last name in black Sharpie. I suspect that these reproductions are not acutally created by the original artists, instead by some paint shop in China. I inquired about the provenance and why my piece came from China but received no response. Overall a regrettable experience.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We would like to clarify several points for accuracy, as transparency is extremely important to us and to everyone reading reviews here on Trustpilot.
1. Your artwork did not ship from China.
Your piece was shipped from our Canadian facility, as shown on the official tracking. We do not ship paintings from China, so we are unsure why that appeared on your end.
2. Your artwork was created by a real, established artist.
Spectrum of Hues is an original work by Roberto Moro, one of the international artists we collaborate with. All custom commissions are hand-painted interpretations, not prints, so slight artistic variations are expected - especially when customers request colour adjustments.
3. We worked with you closely through multiple revisions.
You requested several colour changes during the process, and our team ensured each revision was completed and shared with you until the final version was approved on your side.
4. Crate-opening instructions were provided.
Large paintings are packed in reinforced wooden crates to ensure safe arrival, and we provided a step-by-step tutorial on how to open the packaging correctly. We understand this may feel unfamiliar for first-time buyers.
5. Frame issue and crack were resolved immediately.
When you informed us of a frame mismatch and a small crack, we apologised and processed the partial refund you requested right away.
6. Signatures on custom sizes
Custom pieces are typically signed on the back. The name written is part of the standard studio process and is not unusual for commissioned artworks. This is clearly stated on our website unless a customer requests a front signature. Front signatures can sometimes disrupt the overall aesthetic of the artwork.
At Kline Collective, we work with artists from around the world and take great pride in the quality of our artworks and customer service. While we regret that this experience did not fully meet your expectations, we believe it is important to address incorrect assumptions so readers have a clear and accurate understanding of our process.
If you have any further concerns, our customer service team is always here to help.
Best regards,
Rachel
