Minted Art Reviews: 2,611 Customer Reviews & Ratings Examined

Recently, I bought 3 limited edition art prints and 2 canvas prints from Minted, hung them in my bedroom in my home, and all I can say is WOW!!!

Needless to say, Minted has become one of my favorite places to shop for prints (my other favorite places to shop for prints online are Redbubble, Society6, and Amazon Handmade by Amazon.com).

So I thought I would take some time to read what 2,611 customers ^[RES] had to say about all types of prints by Minted, summarize their pros and (mostly) their cons, plus add my own experience with Minted in this post.

What Is Minted Art?

Minted is a unique, curated site that features the work of independent artists from around the world.

But Minted is very unique compared to other art sites because it only features the art of winning artists.

If you’re a little confused about how Minted works, don’t worry. Let me explain…

Minted holds regular art contests that are open to anyone in the world. More than 2,000 designs are submitted to Minted.com every week. Then, anyone (including you) can act as a judge and rate the artists’ designs.

This company is basically using consumer votes to help predict the next best-seller! So you know that the designs are going to be top-notch!

Then, the winning design is placed on all types of products, like stationery, invitations, framed (or unframed) art prints, and canvas prints!

Types of Wall Art Sold

Art Prints

If you buy art prints from Minted, you’ll definitely notice how high-quality the print and framing are right away.

What’s really unique about Minted is that they only make 350 art prints per size, color theme, and material of a certain design. Once the artwork is sold out, Minted will not release the artwork again. So if you like a print, buy it before it sells out!

When you purchase artwork from Minted, you’ll also receive a certificate of authenticity to ensure the integrity of the edition.

You also have the option of buying art prints with a frame. I find the frames to be made of high-quality materials and I haven’t been disappointed yet!

Canvas Prints

I was also impressed by the quality of the canvas prints. It has such a nice, high-quality, textured canvas that’s stretched around a sturdy wooden frame.

I really can’t complain!

They’re very lightweight compared to a framed print, so they’re easy to hang on walls where you can’t make holes. I just hung up this canvas print on a brick wall using Command picture hanging strips (Amazon) and it looks amazing!

Because these prints are so lightweight, I’m also a fan of giving them as gifts for people who have children. It’s definitely a safe alternative to hanging heavier framed art.

But what really makes me happy about these canvas prints is they’re all limited editions prints, just like the art prints I discussed above. It makes the print extra special and increases its value.

If you can’t afford an original painting, these canvas prints really are the next best thing.

Art Commissioned by Independent Artists

If you’re looking for a specific, original piece of fine art, then you can also get commissioned original art pieces created by an independent artist on Minted.com. You can either ask to get a completely new piece of art or use an already existing piece as inspiration.

Here’s how to get commissioned original art:

1. Choose an artist who’s available for a commission from this list.
2. Click “Request Commissioned Art”.
3. Complete a short form.
4. Once you and the artist agree on a price, Minted will collect a down payment, which is 50% of the price.
5. Once you approve the final image of the artwork, you pay the other 50% of the price. The artist will then insure and ship the original piece to you.

Framed Art

When you buy limited edition prints on Minted, you also have the option to have them framed.

There are 17 frames, with 4 finishes, and 13 sizes to choose from. And I’m really impressed by the quality. I’ve bought 4 frames prints with 4 different types of frames, and they all looked amazing.

There are 4 real framing options:

• Float Mounted
• Matted
• Full Bleed (Standard)
• White Border

What I really enjoy is the option to get a frame with UV plexiglass. If your art print is going to be in direct sunlight, I highly recommend getting UV protection to keep your print from yellowing. It also has a non-glare finish, so it still looks amazing when there’s light shining on it.

Customer Service

If you buy art from Minted and it’s not 100% to your liking, lost in the mail, or damaged in any way, just let Minted’s customer service know.

I read so many great reviews about how Minted’s customer service would give customers a replacement for unsatisfactory orders, without any hassle.

However, I didn’t read any reviews (yet) where customers were given full refunds.

From all the customer reviews I’ve read, it feels like Minted is more focused on fixing customer orders with replacements rather than giving refunds. (But, again, this is only based on the customer reviews I read. Please remember this doesn’t mean this info is 100% correct or complete.)

As for returns, I didn’t read reviews where the customer mentioned that they had to actually return items by mail to get a replacement on unsatisfactory orders (especially now with COVID-19). All that was needed for a replacement was for the customer to send a picture of their order as proof.

Please Note: Minted’s return policy doesn’t include original commissioned art. If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, Minted encourages you to contact the seller directly.

Value: Are Minted Prices Good for the Quality?

If you’re comparing the prices of art prints online, you might find that Minted’s prints are a little more expensive than other e-commerce websites. However, again, the prints are really premium quality and they’re all limited edition prints. Limited edition art prints typically increase in value over time, so they’re actually a good investment.
