The panels of marine ply were of really good quality. They were very cleanly cut and the sizes were accurate to the millimetre. I am very happy with the result.

Replacement black tinted garden table top.
I ordered a black tinted acrilic replacement table top for my broken glass garden table top. The price was very reasonable and i was impressed with their communication. I was informed that the item needed re-cutting due to an imperfection. On delivery, the table top was very well packaged and fitted perfectly. I would definitely recommend this company amd have already mentioned this to family and neighbours who had patio furniture damaged in the recent storms.
