Usually, “cheap” means the price is low and the quality is low… But in this case, did CanvasChamp surprise me with a cheaply priced canvas that rocked it out in terms of quality? In this...

CanvasHQ Review Last year, I did a $100 secret shopper canvas print shootout. The winner was CanvasHQ. I’m doing the same challenge again this year, and wanted to see how seven different companies - CanvasHQ included - stack up against each other in a new and best canvas print shootout.

Just this morning, I unboxed a metal print that I ordered from Costco. The print is part of a metal print shootout I'm doing in which I'm comparing the quality of metal prints from various companies. In the next few weeks, I'll present a head-to-head summary of how each of the more than half-dozen prints stack up...

Last year, we conducted our first metal print shootout - a $100 secret shopper metal print comparison to find the best metal print money can buy. One of the companies we ordered a metal print from was Costco. Unfortunately, last year's Costco metal print was not impressive... But we're all about second chances, so we...
