Great Service and Product
Very quick delivery, great company to buy from. Was my first time using them and the price was great plus delivery free. Needed the slate in a bit of a hurry so was sceptical how long delivery would take, my order was at my door only a couple of days later. The delivery driver was lovely, and popped them exactly where I'd asked. Wouldn't hesitate to use this company again
