Congrats Comment #38 - ScottsGal
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but some of the photos I’ve taken are worth a million. I would be willing to bet that most of you feel the same. I have numerous pictures displayed throughout my home and love all the compliments I receive from friends. I also love going about my daily routine at home and finding so many wonderful pictures that bring a smile to my face and warmth in my heart. I have always loved the idea of putting some of those precious photos on to canvas, but have been a bit apprehensive since I didn’t know how they would look or turn out.
Canvas 4 Life allows you to create your own canvas from any photo in an easy, step by step, online environment all while using the finest materials with a professional process. This isn’t a canvas company that makes a canvas and ships it to you with bars to have your stretch yourself, Canvas 4 Life is the real deal!
First you start by choosing the perfect photo (Please note, this was the hardest part of the entire ordering process for me) then the photo you select is run through the Canvas 4 Life quality detection software to make sure it’s a good size for a high quality canvas. Next, you customize your photo in real time. This is the fun part and real time means you can view the changes you’re making to your photo as you make them! Choose the size of your canvas print, Select to create it in color, black and white or sepia. Finally, select the coating, depth and bleed of your canvas. Don’t really know how to do that? No worries, neither did I, but the Canvas 4 Life site gives you easy to understand explanations for everything. You don’t have to be a pro and thanks to the real time effect you see exactly how your canvas will look, so there’s no surprises or chance you won’t be satisfied. All of the choices and options offered during the design process are free! There are no add-ons. As an added bonus, you can view your canvas in the Canvas 4 Life living room viewer. Customize a living room setting with wall color and items to look like you own and preview how your canvas will look!
I had an absolute blast designing and customizing our canvas! It was the first time I did something to this nature and I loved it. Canvas 4 Life made it simple and it was fun to play around with the different options to select which was best for us. I knew this canvas would be going above our bed. We hadn’t decided what would fill that space and I just knew a canvas would be perfect! I was going to choose a wedding photo, but I was pregnant during our wedding so I was chunky. Instead I chose a favorite picture of hubs and I during our Caribbean vacation this past March. Do you love it as much as I do?

Our canvas arrived perfectly packaged and is shipped safely to avoid any damage. My breath was taken away when we opened it (I waited for hubs so we’d see it together for the first time) Sure, I saw how it would look during the order, but that feeling only gets better in person. Canvas 4 Life not only met my expectations with my first canvas printing experience, but they surpassed them.

My experience with Canvas for life is less that stellar. The first print came mounted off center, didn’t include the overpriced hanger hardware and had white dust specks sealed into the print. When I finally got someone on the phone after repeated calls, was promised a “priority” upgrade and reprinting to go out the next day. Ten days later no product and am now waiting for a refund. Will never use them again or recommend them at all.
Wow! I’m sorry your experience wasn’t up to par. That’s not cool and I really hope they make it right. I would stay on them and call/email until they do!
