Would you accept these corners, or could they be done better?
This does raise the question of, when trying to improve on canvas corners, would you ever cut off excess material (at least in a case like this where the excess had not been painted upon), or is that strictly verboten? (I didn't here but the temptation was certainly there).

Re: Canvas Stretching - How Are these Corners?
That looks very tidy to me. I'd never cut off any canvas around the corners, as some mass production shops do. Occasionally there is excess canvas on the inside edge of the stretchers which I might trim to tidy it up but that's all.

It does look a bit dog eared to me it looks like the folds on the corners could be tidier

Light tapping with a hammer can reduce the stick-out of the layering at the corners.
