Customer photo review of Custom Metal Portrait

Raymond B.Verified

My wife literally saved my life in a time that I was at my worst. She stuck by me through deployments and moves in the service and then afterwards through the hard times transitioning back to civilian life. We celebrate 10 years of marriage but truthfully it's been closer to 15 that we have been together. Every moment that I've had with her has been a blessing. Thank you so much for making this anniversary special!

Customer photo review of Custom Pet Metal Portrait

Jamie W.Verified

We love our dogs. They are family. To celebrate the lives of three of our furry family members, after their passing, we decided to memorialize each of them. We are repeat customers and cannot wait to have one done for another rescue pup who lost his battle woth cancer. The three you see in the photo are Bella, Duke, and Buckie. They watch over us from the rainbow bridge and on our hearts forever. Professionalism, attention to detail, and high quality artwork keep us coming back.

This piece of art is a one of a kind that can’t be replicated that I own and will cherish always. My family loves it too and will eventually add this to their family heirloom. I’m a big fan of metal art and this one takes the cake! I am a novice with woodworking and a talented powder coater which puts this right up my alley. Thank you for doing a great job on this piece and for all who are interested, get a one of a kind piece of art for yourself from Story In Steel.

It was amazing. My wife was overwhelmed. That was our oldest Boxer. His name was Finn. We lost him back in August 28. He was a huge part of our family and his very missed. Thanks for the wonderful art. He will be with us forever.

This was a gift for my son for Christmas. His dog, Angus is a yellow lab that turned 11 yesterday and I wanted to capture him in this beautiful artwork while he’s still with us. He’s so part of our family. My son absolutely loves, loves the artwork. Thanks so much for taking such great care and precision in doing this piece. God bless you all.

My husband is going to love this when he opens on Christmas morning! We just found out our sweet 3 year old Doodle Marley has Lymphoma and won’t be with us much longer. Marley was my husband’s “training partner” when my husband was participating in triathlons so this beautiful piece of art tells a story that we will treasure in our hearts forever ❤️

I’m still so proud of this piece. I did it in high school and learned a had a talent for watercolor. The pride comes from the intensity I actually captured in the snakes eye.

Was looking for something special to commemorate our parent’s 65th wedding anniversary. So grateful I stumbled upon this website.

I got this for my husband for our 10 year anniversary. My husband opened my gift and immediately started laughing. He had gotten me the same thing. I chose a recent picture. He chose our wedding picture. We both chose the same caption of “graveyard love”. We kept chuckling that someone in your factory was like, this husband and wife got the same gift!

This was a wedding shower gift for a good friend of mine. They absolutely love it. The only thing I wish, is that you offer the ability to send a gift card with the product. I sent this directly to the bride to be and she needed to wait to hear from me before she knew who it came from.

Quality, presentation and art work are outstanding. Customer service and responsiveness from Nolan was excellent as well. However, getting the actual product from ordering to delivery was a stressful experience. The product was in the final stages for weeks and delivery from wherever this company is also takes takes a long time. Next time I order I will order at least 1 and half months ahead of time.

I am extremely satisfied in every way, from the ease of selecting the format, uploading the picture and approving the art work. I was informed every step of the way right to my home delivery. When I opened it from its protective packaging I was in awe, it was perfect and looked great. It looked even better after the simple assembly! I really appreciate your commitment to customer satisfaction. Kudos to all involved in making me a piece of art that will be handed down to generations to come! Ta...

This is a picture of me and my wife on our 20 year anniversary. This was beautifully done and the artist did a gorgeous job. The updates and respectful chat made this a great experience. I will be getting more done. Highly recommend getting Story in Steel.

Hello! I bought this for my wife as a Valentine’s Day gift and she loved it. Small picture from one of the best moments we shared together. One of the best birthday trips she ever had and I just loved how happy she was the whole trip and just wanted her to remember how happy we were together that trip. The detail to me is the most amazing part to me down to my facial hair lol! Even including the heart emoji I add to message. Truly astounding work. Thanks for the art!

We recently got married in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower, and we wanted to capture our special day. This unique art piece exceeded our expectations, and we were so excited to hang it up prominently in our home.

Das Portrait hat meine Erwartungen mehr als erfüllt! Sogar ein kleines Detail wurde mit verarbeitet, bei dem ich dachte, dass es nicht so wirklich auffällt. Aber alles zur vollsten Zufriedenheit umgesetzt. Spitze! 👍

Skipper saved me. Really. It was a most difficult time and he and his brother joined my family. He recently passed. This portrait hangs in the bedroom where I can see it always. It faces his favorite spot in the sunlight.

I’ve always loved the marriage of wood and metal. When looking at options to commemorate my two current senior dogs, Story in Steel stood out for me. I’m very happy with the Artist’s work, especially as one of the dogs has darker fur. I wanted to have a black background because the other dog has a large black circle around one eye. It came out fabulous!

This is our dog Fletcher. He passed away on 12/3/25. He was the absolute love of our life and was 15 1/2. My daughters found this site and it’s just perfect. Quality, materials, Artistic design. I went to purchase something for a friend and see Fletcher on the site! He lives on.

A wonderful depiction of my brother's dogs. The ears of the dogs were spot on designed to reflect their curious images and the metal was solid/thick. A remarkable resemblance. I'd buy again as another gift.

I got this for my husband after our beloved dog passed away. He loved it! Brought tears to his eyes. His first comment was “They even captured the expression on his face!” Well worth the money and the wait. Everyone who sees it wants to get one !

Ich war zunächst sehr skeptisch ob die Qualität gut ist, ob es mit der Lieferung funktioniert, was wäre wenn man reklamieren müsste. Aber nachdem es eingetroffen ist, bin ich einfach nur begeistert. Die Umsetzung ist dem Künstler hervorragend gelungen. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen !!!

This is a perfect replica of the photo l submitted with additional details, including the artist centering the heart necklace, include the lettering on the shirt, and having the ponytail hanging (as it wasn't hanging in the photo I submitted). My daughter absolutely loves this tribute to her son. The details are remarkable. I can forsee another purchase soon. We are very pleased. I highly recommend a Story in Steel. Satisfied Customer.

Love it! This is for life. Sure you have photos. But admit it,most are on the phone. Half or more images are on old phones in the bottom draw. This is something special

The smaller dog Luna is a rescue dog that I received as a gift after a stroke I had. She has been by my side since. The larger dog Brandi we rescued 3years ago. Luna has become Brandi’s mother. They are both part of our family and give unconditional love.

Our 10 year German Shepherd had cancer & passed away last weekend. It was very touching that this Story in Steel shipped to us the day after her passing. Doesn't seem to be a coincidence since the other 6 items I ordered were shipped in a separate shipment. We love this piece of art of our muched loved Sadie.

Customer photo review of Memorial Metal Portrait

Mari S.Verified

I couldn't wait to see this completed art! I loved the proof the artist did, it really captured my husband. When the finished art was delivered everyone was here for dinner. Our daughter and her fiance, my neice and my husband's brother. I didn't know exactly when it would come, but the timing could not have been more perfect. We are approaching the one year anniversary of Gus's death - Feb. 07. The picture of him by his firepit grill has come to represent him, so I used that one. I think that...

Ok, so. The art was really expensive… However, they absolutely delivered on their promise. This art piece is gorgeous. Very good quality materials. Great customer service. I was unhappy with the original art when they sent it over for approval. I denied it and they immediately got back to work making the changes I requested. They came back with exactly what I wanted. THANK YOU! HAPPY CUSTOMER HERE!

I can’t even describe how much this meant to me. I had to put down Chloe right after Thanksgiving because she had multiple very large football size tumors on her neck and thigh and ultimately she was starting to have more bad days than good. I’ve had her since college and she helped me stay alive when I was at my lowest. She was my best and only friend when we lived in 5 different states in a year together. She stayed alive way longer than she should have to make sure I was okay not having her...

Absolutely beautiful. Ordered this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend’s father after his dogs had passed away this past year and they did a phenomenal job. It came in at the perfect time. Well worth the money and time waited before it was delivered.

This turned out so very nicely!! The detail is amazing- spot on!! This is a gift for someone special who truly loves his special furry friend Bandit. Bandit loves all his barn yard animals and takes his herding responsibilities very seriously- he truly is the best Ranch'n dog ever!!
