Easy Canvas Prints Review


I was contacted by a member of Easy Canvas Prints and was offered a free 8 x 10 canvas in return for a review on our site.  I, of course, said yes.  I love the idea of putting your favorite pictures on canvas, and just happen to have a wall needing some sprucing up. 

There are many things I love about canvas, but a big one is that you don't need a picture frame.  I cannot tell you how many times we have accidentally bumped a frame off the wall and the glass broke.  Not to mention you have to worry about trying to find frames that match for all of your pictures.  Then you have the fact that the glass gets all smudgy when it gets touched or bumped, the reflection from the light coming in the windows makes the photos hard to see, and the frames get dusty and have to be cleaned often.  Basically, I'm not a fan of picture frames.  I do love canvases, though!

The last canvas I bought was through Costco.com.  Though their prices do initially seem cheaper, I found that Easy Canvas Prints offers free shipping pretty often and also run discounts pretty frequently.  The Easy Canvas Prints site was very easy to navigate.  They also have a quality rating so that you can make sure that the photo you are uploading will be a high enough quality to look good when you get it printed on the canvas.  The turn-around time is really fast, and you get your canvas quickly.

I was really impressed with the quality of our canvas and also with how vivid the colors were.  The photo looked clear and the detail was good as well.

I tried to get a good picture of our canvas, but it was hard because of the glare.  Here's how it came out, though.


And for comparison, here is the original picture...



Overall, I'm really happy with our canvas and think it came out great!
