Cannot fault the service or the quality of the wood. Instruction’s were clear and precise (just make sure you get your measurement spot on, before ordering!) it’s been so good will be using them again when I plan on decorating the bedroom.

MDF panelling made easy
Ordered MDF panelling. The ordering process was easy, and the panelling was well packaged and labelled which simplified the installation greatly. Take a tip from me - don’t be a cheapskate - if you’re going to paint then buy it primed and save yourself an extra step. Highly recommended.
