“The delivery was efficient and delivery lorry-driver friendly and accommodating. As a DIY'er I have often found trade experts a bit condescending but not here, I was made to feel comfortable at all stages of my purchase. If I could award a bonus star or two I certainly would. Excellent in every respect."
