I ordered a PHOTOWALL canvas print. Navigating the PHOTOWALL website is easy and inspiring. With numerous ways to search finding your perfect canvas is fun.

Pay securely with Paypal, Visa, Mastercard or Klarna (financing). PHOTOWALL messaged confirming receipt of my order on October 12 and again when it shipped on the 14th. Shortly after that I received tracking information from the courier service. My PHOTOWALL package arrived safely on October 19. I live in a very rural area. With standard shipping Sweden to Canada it only took 5 days.

I assembled my canvas frame on the dining room table with the included hardware. It took less than 1/2 an hour. No tools are required. I took my time, first watching the PHOTOWALL video demo, and then following the instruction sheet. Any worries I had about assembling it were for nothing. My boyfriend (thank you darling) expertly installed my new canvas using the included mounting hanger, plug and screw. I love it! TRANSFORM your space!
