Wow!
November 21, 2019

Had an awful experience with delayed shipping a year ago but got my two large custom items in LESS than a week and they're wow! Totally and completely gorgeous! I'm a huge fan now and I'll use them again and again and again.

I received this Gather pictures and was disappointed because it looks dirty on the wood frame and the corners were not closed together, it looks like someone just shipped something that was sent back to them! I would not order from this company again that is just my experience!

Very disappointed
November 16, 2019

I had order 2 Different prints from Smallwood the first one was acceptable in the quality.
The other was very very blurry I did contact them, they told me that there was nothing that could be done. Because, it was taken from a print (which if you read is an option they offer)she said the larger the print the less the quality of the print. I would have had to pay for return shipping and then their shipping.
However, it was nonrefundable.
If they would've contacted me to let me know the quality of the print As it increased in size
I could have had the option to get a smaller print that hopefully would've been up a nicer quality. Now I am stuck with an expensive print that well end up in the trash.
Not to honor their error is wrong.
I hope these are not the values they are teaching their young children.

I ordered 6 pieces from them with pictures I uploaded. The first 2 were delivered and the frame looked good, black as it says in the description. The next 4 I ordered were terrible, the stain barely covered the wood so instead of looking black it looks gray, very poor quality.

Was hesitant, but...
November 7, 2019

I placed my order with Smallwoods but never received a confirmation email of my order. I then searched reviews on the company and was saddened to see all the negative reviews. I thought for sure I had been taken. Had I done my research before I ordered I never would have ordered from the company. I reached out to customer service about my confirmation email and did not hear anything for a day or so. When I did hear back, they confirmed my order and that my email had gone to my husband's email address. I was supplied with a tracking order and date of delivery. My ordered arrived just as they promised. It was packaged neatly and very securely, and was exactly what I ordered. They did a great job.

Very hesitant to order due to all the bad reviews but I was very happy with my two large pictures and my 3 smaller ones. High resolution photos and I had no issues. Will likely order again. But I hope their customer service is better than the reviews of others if you happen to have an issue.

I have had multiple large ordered with this company and just recently ordered a 10$ item that the printing on was cut off from the bottom and the basically said they would do NOTHING about it! Their printing error and they do NOTHING! I will Never order from them again! I would give them a zero star review if it was possible! The quality was so poor (as shown in photo) the plywood was missing in sections of the edge that was left unfinished or smoothed

Great product
September 26, 2019

Hesitant to order due to all the bad reviews. Decided to give it a chance and so glad that I did. My custom order turned out better than I expected and came extremely fast. Not only did it turn out great but the price was extremely reasonable. Would absolutely recommend and would definitely order from Smallwood again.

Do no order
September 25, 2019

First off, I NEVER ever leave reviews at all, so this says a lot if I do.

I ordered from smallwoods last week and just received my picture (professional picture I may add) and am not please at all. It is super blurry and looks dark and grainy. I asked if I could send it back and order another but they said they didn't see anything wrong with it. I will definitely be sticking to canvasdiscount.com they always do a phenomenal job and if the picture you send ends up blurry then they will tell you right then instead of sending you the canvas and making you pay for it like smallwoods does! Do not use this company because I paid a lot of money for my professional pictures and had them done by an amazing photographer and it looks like they messed up my pic in the canvas they sent!

Warning: I ordered 3 custom canvas prints and the twine to hang them on is uneven. When you hang them on the wall, there is no way to make them line up which looks terrible. As the twine is manufactured into the wood, it is not an easy at-home fix. I reached out to customer service and they will not refund or replace. I am so disappointed and will not be ordering from them in the future.

Buyer Beware
September 24, 2019

The my miss-cut a photo for a large frame I purchased and then blamed it on me. Stated that I uploaded the picture that way. The picture had no border, I zoomed in a lot so there was plenty of picture that didn't get used. They just cut it wrong. Will not replace. That have bad reviews everywhere!

Quantity over Quality
August 20, 2019

I ordered the fancy cut picture and didn't realize that the picture I sent in wasn't of perfect quality (professional photo but I sent it from my phone). Apparently, this caused my photo to blur and instead of someone reaching out to me and offering to let me send in a better photo, they went ahead and sent me a $83 blurry family portrait.

Customer service even went as far acknowledging that they knew my picture my was blurry, yet made no attempt to contact me. They refuse to reprint and now I have a fancy cut piece of junk that I get to throw away.

This company is all about quantity over quality and they customer is never right.

Purchased several items... beautiful products but 1 came damaged.
I didn't realize the item was damaged due to some last minute travel plans and hectic few weeks involving a death in the family.
So I opened my package 2 weeks past their return date and realized my item was un-fixably damaged. I emailed customer service and they just gave me a flat NO.
Almost every retailer I have ever shopped with (both small and major corporations) are always willing to work with their customer even if the time frame for return or exchanges has passed, especially when it comes to damaged merchandise.
They just gave a flat out NO without any type of sincerity or courtesy.
All this over $32.50
They lost a customer over $32.50!

I've been a customer of Smallwoodhome for a few years and loved their wooden signs. They recently changed all of their "natural" wood signs to what must be laminate. It looks like it can be peeled off. It's sad. They've just cheapened their signs all together. Their new "laminate" wood didn't match the old "natural" wood so I had to return them. Then, they ignored me regarding being charged for return shipping. They took $33 for return shipping. Terrible customer service. Don't waste your time.

The picture attached shows the difference in their signs. The "natural" wood is the lighter one, the "laminate" that they're calling "stained" (which is hilarious) is the darker one.

I told them I'd overlook writing a negative review if they would just give me my full refund but they wouldn't and did not respond. Be mindful when using them.

Not worth the trouble.
December 18, 2018

Scam. I purchased some custom prints and a system glitch on their end resulted in unordered duplicates of some and other prints not coming at all. Their customer service ignored me when I reached out to get the missing print or a refund for the missing print.
