Great puzzle! Bought it as a gift for a friend. They loved it! 😍
I absolutely love this print! 😍 The artwork is beautiful, and I love how it captures the warmth and creativity of cooking. The details and colors really make it stand out! It’s such a unique piece and the perfect addition to my kitchen decor. I’m so happy with my purchase and can’t wait to get it displayed! ❤️
I absolutely love my artwork! 😍 The colors are beautiful, the quality is amazing, and it looks even better in person! It really adds the perfect touch to my home. You can tell a lot of creativity and attention to detail went into it. I’m so happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend shopping here. I’ll definitely be ordering again! 💕
Ordered July 30. It's Oct 9 and I still don't have puzzles. I respected the two month turnaround but two months came and went. I was told they'd ship the week of Sept 29. They did not. Shipping label created Oct 2 and tracking says they were never placed with carrier. Never plan to buy from this company again.
This piece is so elegant and vibrant. I plan to put it in a room where it can be seen all the time! I might buy a second one and mount them next to each other to bring a really powerful vibe! I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and the vibrancy of the image!
I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and the vibrancy of the image! It arrived in a timely manner, with good tracking information throughout the process. I am so glad I investigated this artist/entrepreneur, so I have this cool resource to use in the future.
it's a really nice piece, it too bad mine arrive bent up and then there is a black or brown dot on the finished print, for 29 bucks, i expected better quality and handling. For future reference, don't send fragile items via usps, please select FedEx or Ups they pay attention to fragility signage.
This was a gift for my daughter’s 18th Birthday she loved it and I loved it! It’s even more beautiful in person. This was my first purchase but it will not be my last. Thank you for amazing art!
I absolutely love the meaning and creativity behind SMARD! 💜🧩 As a Black-owned puzzle company that specializes in African American puzzles, SMARD brings something different to the table. I love seeing a company create puzzles that celebrate Black culture, beauty, confidence, and representation.
The “I Play to Win” 1,000-piece puzzle definitely lives up to its name because BABYYYY, you really have to come ready to WIN! 😂🧩 Don’t let the beautiful artwork fool you! With 1,000 pieces, this puzzle is definitely challenging and requires patience, concentration, and a good eye for detail. Some of the similar colors and patterns can make figuring out where certain pieces belong a little tricky, but that’s what makes it fun!
I also appreciate the thought and creativity that went into the packaging. The presentation is beautiful, and the overall concept makes this puzzle feel like more than just a game.
One thing about “I Play to Win” is that you might have to walk away and come back a few times, but quitting is NOT an option!
I absolutely LOVE this print! It is even more stunning and beautiful in person as what I viewed when I ordered! I framed it IMMEDIATELY and cannot wait to display in my new place!
This is my first time ordering from Smard Art, after following the brand on instagram for years and I must say I am not dissatisfied at all. The only thing I will say is that, I think there should be another way to protect the images, especially if they’re travelling internationally as my images were slightly damaged in the sides, but thankfully the picture frame hides the damage.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your support and for choosing SMARD for your first order. We’re glad you loved the artwork.
We’re sorry the edges arrived slightly damaged during transit, and we really appreciate your feedback. We’ll be sharing this with our team as we continue improving how our prints are protected during shipping.
Thank you so much for being such an awesome company to shop with. From the easy ordering process and exceptional communication to the quick delivery and beautiful quality of the prints, the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
If you’ve been considering ordering, stop thinking about it and place the order! I wholeheartedly recommend this company. The quality, service, and attention to detail are absolutely worth it. They’ve definitely earned a loyal, repeat customer in me—and I’m already deciding what I’m ordering next!
