"The frames make our canvases look professional"

"excellent resource, quick to respond on order info, great job...thank you!"

"Ordered 15 frames of various sizes (same color) from Wholesale, and they were just as expected and described. Packed very well, and had all parts etc. Perfect for my needs."

"Sorry! I really wanted to like/use this company instead of Dickblick or another large company. I spent about $2000 on stretched canvases and canvas panels. I'm really disappointed and I'm a full time artist looking for reliable suppliers.

Shipment was late two weeks. When I communicated with customer service they blamed it on shipper but then realized they still had to build several of the stretcher bars and canvases.

I had to use canvas retensioner/tightened because the way in which they were shipped pressed the edges and created indents in the canvas near the stretcher bars.

Canvas panels had wrinkled and buckled paper on the backs of almost all of them. Poor craft and gluing.

I communicated by phone and email about my complaints and I was promised that I would get some sort of compensation but none arrived. They were very pleasant but I got the feeling it was politeness not sincere concern.

I have had similar but not as bad problems with Blick or Utrecht but when something is damaged or unusable, those companies send replacements free of charge, and sometimes have sent me a small coupon or gift certificate to compensate me.

"Great quality frames. Easy to put together."

"Received what was ordered, in excellent condition probably because of proper packaging of the foam board that is easily damaged if bent or crushed."

"Delivered on time as expected in excellent condition and easily assembled. "

"This is the third time I've placed an order with Wholesale Arts and Frames, and this was as excellent an experience as the others! The canvases arrived earlier than predicted, well-packed and in perfect condition. I've been painting up a storm! These are 30x40x1-3/4" stretched canvas, and I really enjoy working on them. I do find that the acrylic paints I'm using (admittedly not the highest quality) don't necessarily like to stick well to the canvas. So I've started coating the entire canvases, especially the sides and edges ~ where there will be more "wear and tear" as the paintings are moved around ~ with a thinned-down (read: watery) coating of acrylic medium. After that dries, the (cheap) acrylics stick to the canvas just fine! By the way, I moved up to the 1-3/4" depth canvases for several reasons, but one is because over time, a few of their standard depth (3/4"?) canvases warped a bit. These deeper ones (including some I bought several years ago from the same company) have held up very well. "

"Was exactly what I needed"

"I spent far too much money on supposed "high quality" stretched canvas. Well, the price was high and someone must have been high when they crammed my 20"X 20" stretched canvases into a box that should have had less stretched canvases jammed in there! I nearly broke a finger trying to force one canvas out of the box.

Eventually I got all the canvases unwrapped and...I was dismayed at the poor quality of these items. The canvas was very loose and floppy on almost every single one and I attempted to tighten them by spraying water on the backs and then using a hair dryer to dry the water. This method DOES work but nothing could save these flimsy, crappy stretched canvases. I needed these for an upcoming show and had spent about $75 for them with shipping. I ended up giving these away to someone who is just learning acrylic painting. One canvas even tore when I couldn't remove the four or five layers of plastic that was shrink-wrapped to every other canvas.
Honestly, I blame myself. I was trying to see if other stores had better prices than Blick. I love Blick canvases and will NEVER buy anything from Wholesale Waste Of Money again."

"Beautiful frame for the price."

"Beautiful job on stretching the canvases."

"I've mainly bought the Gallery canvas in different sizes. They always arrive well packaged and I'm pleased with the quality."

"The frame was very thin, but will serve its purpose. Be very careful while handling because the end of my frame snapped and broke while trying to remove the protective film. It arrived in good time, although during the pandemic. The shipping is the worst part of the pricing. Other than that, it was a good deal. "

"I had a problem but customer service was quick and great.would highly recommend this seller!"
