Greenhouse repairs!
I was looking to replace a broken pane in my greenhouse. The Cut My website was very easy to use, so that I could specify exactly the size needed. There was even an option for uploading "non standard" shapes, which I will definitely use when replacing the trapezoid corner pieces.
The pane arrived (very very well packaged) earlier than the provisional date at the time of the order.
Excellent service!

Delivered on time and well packaged so much so that I thought initially the panels were light blue in stead of clear. This turned out to be protection on the panels.

Couldn't be happier with the service provided. Easy to use website, very quick turnaround (ordered cut MDF sizes Monday, delivered Thursday). Extremely well packaged pieces, all in pristine condition and labelled.
I wish I'd found this company a long time ago! Will definitely be using again.

A really easy purchase
A really easy purchase, made even easier by the quick and confident service from John and Abigail.
The website and bespoke template was simple to use and I could generate a fairly complex shape for my son's desk with little issue. Meeting John at the factory meant I could understand some of the finer detail and be confident that what I was ordering was what I wanted. There's always a moment of nervousness when ordering a bespoke item and I'm happy to say that what arrived was exactly what I ordered and expected. No fuss!
Thanks to John and the team.
