Great Kit-Tricky Frame
I was pleasantly surprised when my oil painting kit arrived almost 2 week before the estimated arrival date. The kit came neatly bundled in a tubular package, and all items arrived in good condition. The canvas was wrinkled when I first unfolded it, but a bit of steam from a boiling pot of water quickly took care of that. The frame was not too difficult to put together, but did take some time, and it was a bit tricky on some corners, due to the cuts not being made at the correct angle/location. The painting is very detailed, but clearly numbered and the paints and brushes are good quality for the price. I'm giving this 4 stars due to the difficulty of frame set-up. Other than the frame issues, this is a great buy.

Canvas great. Frame? Junk.
The canvas itself is fine, and it came rolled, not folded. The frame, on the other hand, was lousy (I'd use a stronger word, but this is for public reading). One corner split as soon as I tried putting the other one in, without even pushing hard. Another one wouldn't true no matter what I tried. There are no instructions. I'm assuming that you roll it over the rounded edge and use the thumbtacks (thumbtacks, really?) to anchor it on the flat side.

Took a long time but lots of fun! Had enough paint. Frame took some effert but was fine in the end. Colors slightly different but still pretty

Lesser quality than others I bought
The canvas is plastic, not fabric. This means that the paint will dry, crack and at some point, fall. I spent more money for the frame and is 4 pieces of wood. It is not mounted. I'll have to stretch it and staple it before painting it. Quite a disappointment. Avoid this vendor.

Came with an non assembled frame and a rolled up canvas.
02/03/17 - I painted the picture over Christmas break. It was fun and enjoyable. It was a pain to stretch the canvas over the frame. I strongly suggest purchasing one that is pre-stretched on the frame. Don't try to save a few dollars.What ever color is on the edge (border) paint it over the edge and a tad on the side. When you frame it the edge shows threw. You saw a strong white line on the edge of the canvas. HINT, paint over the edge:-)10/31/16 I assumed that the canvas would be stretched over the frame. I was wrong. The print is full of wrinkles from shipping. I have mounted and unmounted the canvas 4 times and am not able to stretch it correctly to get it to align with the frame and remove the wrinkles. Don't waist your money on the frame, it's useless.It took 15 days to get here. Placed the order on 10/16/16 and it arrived 10/31/16.If I ever get the canvas on the frame and paint it, I'll put a review in on the quality of the numbering system.

Meeeehhh we'll see.
Product is ok.. I cant figure out how to put the frame it came with together its kinda strange since I like to build things and the kit itself took 2 months to get here. Looks very difficult to do but oh well.

Buy your own brushes
The brushes are not very good and the paint is really thick. Doesn't include any instructions on how to frame it with the provided materials. Otherwise, I can't wait to finish painting it :)

Beautiful but lead based paint?!
I really love the kit, and it's beautiful when done. However, every time I painted for more than an hour- I would get nauseous. I'm sending the paint away to have it tested, to make sure it is not lead based.
