Has anyone used Nations Photo Lab?

I've never actually had any nice prints made to hang in my house, and I'm looking to fix that. I know of Bay Photo and My Photopipe (as well as getting prints from Shutterfly, etc), but today I saw an ad for Nations Photo Lab that caught my eye. I'm looking to do a 24"x24" canvas wrap, and they're having a sale on square wraps. The price is fantastic, but I have no idea about the quality. Does anyone here have experience with this particular print lab?

My daughter is also a hobbyist photographer, and has one photograph that
was especially good. I ordered a large metal print of it for a Christmas present
for her.

The effect is stunning, the service was prompt and efficient, and the price
was very reasonable.

Thanks for the feedback, Tony. Just as a followup, I ordered a 12x18 print on gator board (ended up passing on the canvas wrap sale, but probably will get the photo I had in mind done on canvas soon) from them and it arrived on Friday. I am very happy with the service, print quality and price. It is a very cool thing to see one of my photos actually printed in the real world. Now I just have to figure out how/where to display it. I definitely recommend Nations and I will order from them again.

I order general prints from MPIX and never had a problem. I order metal & metallic prints from Bayphoto. How close to Boston are you… would like to hang w/ more photographers in the area.

"in.boston" is certainly not true, and my location of "near Boston" is relative. I'm actually much closer to Nashua, and don't get in to Boston more than a couple times a year. I like to try and do photowalks once in a while, but between work and family, I pretty much don't have 10 minutes to rub together. I wish I had more time for my hobby, but sadly I think I've clicked my shutter only a couple hundred times this year so far. I'm working on developing a new photographer (no pun intended, of course...) as my 7 y/o daughter is getting her first DSLR soon - a present for how well she has done in school this year. She loves to go out shooting with me, and now she'll have her own gear so I don't have to worry about her dinging up my stuff! Maybe we'll run into you sometime.
