I would give 6 stars if I could. The printouts are crisp and the quality is beyond excellent. Karl, the shop owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with. He went out his way to create custom prints for me as I was looking for something highly specific to gift to my colleagues. Needless to say, they made for spectacular gifts! I would highly, highly recommend Karl and his store. I will definitely be looking here for future gifts. Thanks again Karl!
Super product ! I bought 3 of them and it looks great on my wall. I will buy more for my cottage.👍
They made an absolutely beautiful gift for my Disney-obsessed mom! Arrived quickly and was packaged securely, was super impressed with the quality!
