I recently purchased ACF canvasses and was absolutely amazed by their quality. While I expected something decent for the price, these exceeded my expectations by a mile.
The smoothness of the surface is incredible, making the painting process effortless and an absolute pleasure. Every brushstroke feels natural and satisfying, which is something I highly value.
If you're looking for canvasses that truly enhance your creative experience, I can't recommend these enough. I'll definitely be buying them again!
Hi Anna - What a stunning review, thank you so much! I love your beautiful art too! Thank you for sharing!
Wasn’t sure what to expect but I am truly delighted with the quality , will order again .
Hi Maoliosa
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our Box Canvas. We're thrilled that you're delighted with the quality and we can't wait to have you as our customer again. Have a great day!
£315 for 2 box canvases and floating frames this is extremely over priced. You can buy 30/49 for about £20 and a frame for it for less than £40 exact same quality. This £315 for 2 is day light robbery DO NOT BUY. BET THIS REVIEW GETS DELETED.
Hi Karen,
Thank you for your review, though it’s disappointing to see such a misinformed comment about my products, especially as you’ve never purchased them. Comparing handcrafted, bespoke items to mass-produced discount store products shows a misunderstanding of quality craftsmanship and the costs involved in running a small business.
You’ve mentioned £315 for two box canvases and floating frames, which works out to £157.50 per item. (30' x 40')
Let me break down exactly where this cost comes from:
VAT (20%): £157.50 includes VAT, which is £26.25, leaving £131.25.
Shipping Costs: For an item this size, the courier cost is £30, of which the customer only pays £12, leaving the business to absorb £18. This leaves us at £113.25.
Import and Shipping Fees: The shipping and import fees for this item are £35, bringing the cost down to £78.25.
Packaging and Damage Allowance: High-quality packaging, along with a 10% allowance for damage or replacement, accounts for another £15.75, leaving us at £62.50.
Marketing and Overheads: To keep my products visible to customers, £15 is allocated for marketing and advertising, bringing the total down to £47.50.
Labour and Materials: Each canvas is handmade by skilled workers, with fair wages and high-quality materials costing £40 per item. This leaves just £7.50.
Profit and Taxes: Of the remaining £7.50, 25% goes to taxes, leaving a profit of just £5.63 per item.
So, Karen, your claim of “daylight robbery” couldn’t be further from the truth. This price reflects the high-quality materials, bespoke craftsmanship, and ethical business practices that go into every item we produce.
As someone who “seems” to understand business, I invite you to share how you would lower these costs while maintaining the same level of quality, fair wages, and customer service. I’m genuinely curious.
If you’d like to understand more about our products or the care we put into them, I’m happy to discuss further.
Best regards,
Graham
Owner, ACF Canvasses
I haven’t started to paint yet, probably after the Christmas holidays, but my first impressions are these are excellent quality canvas, surface is good, so can’t wait to see the results, I will probably work in oils. Will share once I have finished. The photos are just examples of my work
This was my second delivery and didn’t disappoint. Well made, good quality and a joy to paint on
Such. Great product. Saves me so much time and money on each painting. The frames look so good.
I actually started painting on them today. The smooth feel was what I required for my hearts. I will be back for certain.
I was amazed at the quality of the Oak Floating Frame & Box Board Canvas! Can't wait to paint on them and they're definitely of gallery standard!!
Excellent quality, perfectly straight, solid no warping, no need to prime.
Wow, love the art Julie! Thank you for the review...
I love these canvases, they are luxurious the way they seem to suck the paint in, it just has a lovely feel. I gessoed the canvases, but they have a different feel and are a fantastic surface to work from
Hi Sophie, Im happy you are happy. What medium did you paint in? (Next time try your medium directly on the fabric) :-)
Having bought a few of these canvases, they are the best surface I have ever worked on. The surface is smooth, they don't warp or sag .
I wouldn't use any other canvas .
Would definitely recommend.
Thank you, Jackie! I really appreciate your review. I'm so glad to hear that you're happy with the canvases and that they're working well for you. Thanks again for recommending them! 😊
Really pleased with quality
Thank you Lynn, share the artwork and tag us @acfcanvas
I’m very happy with the stretched canvas and box canvas. Great for my style of oil painting.
Hi Louie - Thank you for the review, and Thank you for trying out the Sample Pack :-) No refund I guess?
These canvases are something else! I can work and rework paint and the canvas doesn’t complain. They’re soooo smooth too, beautifully crafted and tight as mackerel’s butt! Honestly it’s a joy just looking at perfect white surface, I almost feel guilty painting on it. 😄
Hi Alison, Thank you so much for the reviews... here, and on Instagram and the private message! lol - Im so happy your are happy! Love your beautiful art!
Love the quality, truly feels great painting on it. And the frame is sturdy and looks fantastic . My dream is to get smaller size square formats (15x15cm )
HI Laura, Thank you so much for the review. The smaller sizes will be here in November!
Just the right size with well stretched canvas and backing board. Perfect for the work I had in mind .
Very sturdy tight canvas very happy second purchase, highly recommend
