too little too late!,  Tuesday, 28 July 2009 I really wish I found this site before I ordered, but after reading the reviews here it looks like everyone made the same mistake. I didn't look at any of the other companies before ordering, so I had the idea that Big Mosaics was pretty standard. My post-research has me thinking otherwise.

As far as ordering, I didn't really have a tough time. It took a moment, but was fairly straight forward. What upset me, that I found out after the fact, was the additional cost for more photos! After I found this site I said "well at least Big Mosaics wasn't as expensive as others". Then I noticed that other companies actually encourage more photos without additional charges!! With the amount of photos I had it ended up MORE expensive than other sites.

The overall product was bittersweet. The source image was crystal clear and looked amazing from a distance. Unfortunately, the smaller images were so tiny and grainy they were damaging to squint at. I might as well just bought a poster of the picture I wanted and hung that up instead. If you can't tell it's a mosaic until you're on top of it, whats the point?

I don't know if I'll ever have another mosaic made, but if I do I will be trying another company.
