Online art listings vary widely. Use this checklist to compare what is actually documented before deciding whether a painting fits your space, budget, and expectations.
1. Confirm how the image is produced
Look for a clear statement that distinguishes a directly painted canvas from a printed reproduction. Close-up photos should show the surface, edges, brushwork, or raised texture when those details are part of the product.
2. Review the listed materials
Use the materials stated on the product page. Do not assume a canvas, paint, varnish, frame, certificate, signature, or sustainability attribute is included unless the seller documents it for that item.
3. Check dimensions and orientation
Compare the artwork’s width and height with the available wall area. Mark the proposed size with painter’s tape and step back to the main viewing position. Confirm whether the listed dimensions refer to the painted canvas, the outer frame, or both.
4. Understand framing choices
Check whether the order is rolled, stretched, or framed, and whether the selected frame changes the finished outer dimensions. Product-option labels should match the order confirmation.
5. Verify production and delivery timing
WABI Wall Art paintings are made to order. Creation typically takes 1–2 weeks. A photo is provided for confirmation before shipment, and delivery by DHL or FedEx is approximately 5–7 business days after completion. Worldwide shipping is free, and WABI Wall Art covers U.S. import duties.
6. Read the formal return policy
Do not rely on broad phrases such as “guaranteed refund” or “no-questions-asked returns.” Review the Returns & Exchanges page for the 30-day period, eligibility conditions, documentation, and instructions before sending anything back.
7. Evaluate care information conservatively
Display guidance should be based on the materials documented by the seller. As a general precaution, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, excess moisture, strong heat, and aggressive cleaning. Use only the care method provided for the specific surface and frame.
8. Check the final order details
- Artwork title and artwork number
- Selected size and orientation
- Rolled, stretched, or framed option
- Frame color, if applicable
- Creation and estimated shipping timeline
- Return-policy conditions
FAQ
Does “canvas” always mean hand-painted?
No. Canvas can be used for directly painted work or for a print. The listing should state the production method clearly.
Should I expect every painting to look identical to the product image?
Made-to-order hand-painted work can show small variations in brushwork and texture. The pre-shipment photo provides an opportunity to review the completed work.
Does WABI Wall Art guarantee a painting will last for a specific number of years?
No fixed lifespan is claimed. Appearance over time depends on documented materials, environment, handling, display, and care.
