Product is very good and arrived roughly when they said.
Tried to contact them by phone to get an update on delivery, but no chance. So emailed them, but they didnt reply for over 3 days, because of that only four stars.
Would definitely use them again.

Great Product Great Price Great Customer Service
There were some delays along the way but am I glad I waited!
I had called before placing my order and from the outset they were very open and honest about some covid issues and explained if I did order there would be delays, but even after that, I still had the option to gain a full refund.
The product - Aluminium Composite - Copper coloured with Grain, all 7 pieces cut perfectly to the milemeter and with up to 4 sockets per cut/piece meant it was well worth using the socket/hole cutting service!
Just wish they sold edging strips to match 😉
Thank you 🙂 the kitchen looks amazing now!

Fantastic product, just a couple of thoughts…
Bought 2x3mm panels to cover a bedroom unit for surface protection. Arrived well packaged and cut perfectly to size. Panels look great. Chose the glass option and had the edges polished and you can’t tell the difference between these and glass. 2 thoughts on them however. As they are plastic, they are somewhat dust magnets because of static, and being 3mm (as I put the feet underneath) they dip if you put anything on them. Might have been better to leave the feet off. Don’t know if a thicker option might have been more sturdy. Cleaning them with anti static spray, but a bit of a battle to keep them looking clean. Other than that would still give the product and company 5 stars for service and quality.
