"We take great pride in this accomplishment because it reflects our commitment to providing top-of-the-line finished wall decor, dedicated customer service and superior value to our customers," said Gary Takemoto, senior vice president of merchandising.  "The finished frame is as important as the art itself.  However, for some people, the idea of custom framing can feel intimidating, overwhelming and overpriced, especially at local frame stores.  At Art.com Inc., we make it easy, fun and affordable for our customers to customize their wall decor look and receive high-quality finished artwork on their doorstep, faster and at a better value than offline framing alternatives."

Art.com Inc. makes custom framing affordable with prices up to 25% lower than local frame and art shops.  Additionally, each of the company's two brands, art.com and AllPosters.com, offers a proprietary online Frame Studio which makes the custom framing process easy and fun.  Customers can use the Frame Studio to create the perfect framing combination by choosing from hundreds of moulding, mat and glazing options on their own.  Those seeking more guidance can choose from a variety of custom-designed framing solutions created by in-house designers, or speak live with one of the company's framing specialists.  Next, customers can hang the finished piece on a "virtual wall" online – choosing either from a standard set of "virtual walls" or an uploaded photograph of their own wall – to visualize how the product will look once it is hung.  

Each frame is hand-crafted by certified custom framing experts who use high-quality materials, double-bonded corners and a series of rigorous quality checks to ensure the final product will look beautiful and last for years to come.  All customers receive the finished, ready-to-hang wall art in secure, heavy-duty packaging, typically within a week of ordering.  Art.com Inc. also offers a 100% money back guarantee to ensure customer satisfaction.  

"Our customers know there's no better place to buy wall art than art.com or AllPosters.com," continued Takemoto.  "We offer an unparalleled selection of wall art, quality that is comparable to or better than local stores, greater convenience, rapid delivery and a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee, all at an unbeatable value.  There's really no good reason to buy wall art anywhere else."
