Canvas prints are becoming more and more popular, and are often very expensive. However, CanvasFactory.com provides high quality canvas and metal prints at an affordable price. About two weeks ago, CanvasFactory.com reached out to me and offered to give me one of their products to review, as well as a free giveaway for my readers. Of course, I agreed!
My review outlines the entire process, from ordering a canvas print to what I received in the mail:
The Website
I found CanvasFactory’s website easy to explore, navigate, and use. The layout is clean, without a lot of distractions. It’s not as “salesy” as other canvas print websites. It has more of an artistic feel.
I was able to find the correct canvas size and shape I needed was almost immediately. The prices seemed reasonable and they had a super sale going on at the time I ordered the canvas print. The blue bar at the top of the website lists announces their current sale.
Shipping
Shipping was very fast—the package arrived in about a week. I live in one of the last towns in America that doesn’t have street mail delivery, which causes all sorts of daily problems. But, CanvasFactor was able to find my post office box with no problem. That’s a major win in my book. You can’t imagine how many times I’ve been excited about a product, only to get to checkout and have the shipping tool say they can’t find my address!
Outside Packaging
The outside packaging was very snugly fit to the canvas print. This was, I assume, to protect the piece, and normally It would do a very good job of keeping the piece from rattling. However, it seems like a package handler may have dropped the package and the corner was damaged. The corner of the canvas print was slightly dented, which I did not mind, but be aware your package handlers may not be kind to your canvas print.
CanvasFactory could improve their shipping containers to keep this from happening, too. Wrapping the corners of the canvas with foam could help protect them. Writing “Fragile” on the packaging may also help the package in its journey.
The Canvas Print is Beautiful
I ordered a canvas print of my Mosaic Lion, King of the Alcazar. Photographing a mosaic is tough, to say the least. Photographs don’t generally capture the depth of glass. So, I didn’t expect a lot from my canvas print. I’m happy to say, I was very surprised and impressed with it!! The picture above it NOT of the original mosaic—it’s of the canvas print!!
The print itself is very high quality. The colors are very clear, and very sharp. The attention to detail is fantastic, and the canvas is shiny. The back of the canvas has a sturdy hardboard backing, complete with hanging hooks for convenience. The canvas back is black and looks very neat. The picture wraps around the edges very well with no distortion of the image. It’s awesome!!
Customer Service
The person I spoke to via email was very helpful, kind, and considerate. She was easy to work with and gave me the information I needed. The customer service seems great at Canvas Factory.
