In love
August 1, 2020

I had already ordered before I read all the negative reviews, so I had been nervous about receiving my frames. Anyways, I received three of my pictures and had to hold back the tears. I am so in love with these frames, I can't even express how amazing they are.
When I was creating them I had a problem with every photograph saying the pixels were to large. And these were professional pictures so I was a bit confused. I wrote customer service and they were great at getting back to me so quickly. I had to change the pixels on my computer, after fixing them the note didn't pop again. DO NOT hit continue, without fixing your pixels I realize that's where alot of the negative reviews come from. It warns you before you put it in your cart, so if you receive a blurry picture, its your fault. Also the frame itself was sturdy, I couldn't be more happier with this company. I am glad I ordered instead of listening to the reviews like I usually do.

They are the most unprofessional company I've ever dealt with! They don't answer phone calls, emails and when finally do they are so rude!

I have ordered from Smallwoods 3 times. My first order was perfect and well made. The second order was a gift to a friend and I never saw in person so I hope it was well made like my first order, but my 3rd order was a joke! I've ordered the hanging frames each time. This time the photos came graining the wood pieces at the bottom of the frame never flattened out and I had to hand tie and cut the twine and MEASURE to make sure they hung the same length. My 3rd order cost the post and was complete crap. I of course emailed costumer serves and got a flat out no once orders are placed they are final. This company clearly doesn't care about the quality. It's very unfortunate, I told Mackenzie the customer service rep. I would no longer be using their service, she than told me to take pictures of the prints they sent me and maybe they would allow me to return 2 of the crappy 5 I got. I ended the conversation there. I wish I would have read reviews prior to using their services. How do companies survive on bad service?

Super poor quality
June 22, 2020

I have ordered from this company several times and was impressed when I first ordered however as of my last order in June of 2020 the quality was TERRIBLE! I wrote them and their response was that due to their "growing business they have made changes to their products". So buyer beware it's extremely cheap quality now, the product I recently ordered was awful.

We ordered 3 large pictures of our kids. We open up the first two and they look fine (wood used for framing is slightly flimsy). I open the third box that should have been a picture of my son, and it's a photo of a family I've never seen before. I contacted support and they shipped me the photo of my son. I open that and the photo is correct, but they used the wrong color for the frame! Gave me black instead of brown so it didn't match the other two! I contact Ellie AGAIN from support and request the correct photo be resent with correct framing and that they reimburse me for the cost of that image. I'm told they won't replace and refund. I have to choose. I told them to make sure they actually send the correct photo this time and that I won't ever be ordering again. Terrible customer service. There are so many companies that make this stuff, so DO NOT order from this one!

I purchased a framed photo using one of my professional wedding photos. The picture cane out blurry and the white frame is scuffed up. When I contacted customer service they basically told me, sorry, better luck next time. Buyer beware!

Received our print heads cut off. An obvious error
They told us that's the image that was submitted- ludicrous we don't have a heads cut off image in our library. Maybe we cropped it wrong but that's not what they said. Then they were done with us no more responses no phone number to talk to anyone. Quality control and support is horrendous

AWFUL!
June 4, 2020

I will NEVER, EVER buy another thing from these disgusting people. I uploaded a PROFESSIONALLY taken picture and yes I did zoom in a little bit. I got my order in today and I am soooooo dissatisfied. A professional picture does not turn into junk from a LITTLE zoom. Not to mention, there prices are HORRIBLE. Of course they cant give me a refund because it is customized. I WILL NEVER REFER ANYONE TO THEM. I had to select a one star when rating but I wouldnt even give them that. SAD, SAD

Missing items
June 3, 2020

I am not a fan of how they handled my missing prints. I ordered 4 and only received 1. I ordered with enough time to gift to my mom for her birthday and now they haven't even shipped me a new confirmation or told me they'd rush the shipping and it's been two days.

I ordered a canvas print from this company believing that the quality of their work reflected their prices. I just received my print and it is a BLURRY MESS. I don't understand how they thought..."yeah this looks good. Send it to packaging and shipment." And it wasn't the photo's resolution level at fault here... I had the photo edited beforehand to meet the resolution requirements. DO NOT spend your money here. The fact that multiple reviews are saying the exact same thing is no coincidence. I may not be able to get this dishonest company to refund me my money but hopefully this review can save someone else from making the same mistake. PLEASE BEWARE!

Dissatisfied
June 3, 2020

When I received my order the picture was incredibly blurry, to the point that I won't be able to display in my home. I reached out to their customer service and was told that they are essentially not responsible for image quality, but they confirmed the picture was blurry on their end. All I wanted was a credit so I could reorder my wedding picture and all they could offer me was a whopping 20% partial refund... I will not use this company again. This was a mistake they should have caught and notified me about prior to printing and sending to me. If I was made aware I would have submitted another image, but no they'd rather waste their energy by printing and framing a blurred image. Extremely unhappy. The only reason they're getting 2 stars is because they offered a crappy refund. It's almost more insulting that I had to email a couple of times to even get that.

Yes I did read the reviews before punching but I thought maybe it's a fluke and thing happen. But then it did happen to me. You definitely don't get what you pay for I thought after spending over 100 bucks I would get a big beautiful picture. In reality I got a piece of card board with semi ok quality picture printed with cheap wood frame. I am trying to get in contact with customer support and haven't heard anything back... so I guess to sum it up if it appears too good to be true or probably is. Bummer

I was so excited to receive my 2 pictures that I ordered of my granddaughters. Both pictures had their head cut off. I sent an email stating the problem. Got an email back today from Ellie stating that I sent them images with no heads. Seriously! My pictures seem to have their heads. If that was the case why would you go ahead with the order. You should have contacted me. Was told there is nothing that they will do. I'm now out $75. Do not waste your time or money. So many other companies with great customer service. Will never use or recommend this company. I had to give one star otherwise I could not leave a review. They do not deserve any stars.

Ordered a picture of my daughter and when it came it was completely blurry. Asked for a credit to reorder something else was told no. Asked numerous times for supervisor to call back and never received one. Horrible customer service especially disappointed because of the amount of $ I spent with them over the years!

The quality is okay overall. One of my customs came with a black smudge on the white frame that I cannot get off, so I'm going to have to try to paint over it. I think the company is a little overpriced but overall was an okay purchase and received quickly.

I bought a circular wooden print of our family that was to be a centerpiece of our wall. I liked it when it arrived, put it aside while redoing the living room and when I went to put it up for the first time there was a huge scratch right across the center. Never hung it. Uhhhh it is very sensitive mAterial, waisted 100$. Never came in touch with kids or animals, no clue how the scratch happened but whatever material is used is VERY sensitive! Not happy about this purchase.

Perfect!

I first reached out to Smallwood on Instagram and the customer service was great! After I made my order I was very surprised to get it in as little as 3 days! I am very pleased with how the prints turned out. I ordered the biggest size they make for the wood frame pictures

Change order
April 17, 2020

I places an order for $100. I asked not even 5 minutes after if I could change the image because it was the wrong one. They said that they can't change the image cause it apparently printed already. Very disappointed and haven't even received it yet.
