Dear Stuart,
"Our order was made bespoke by Stuart, with various tweaks to its standard dimensions and hanging options. The communication was clear and prompt at all times, and delivery was within the expected time frame. It's incredible what a difference a piece of wood can make to the entire look of a kitchen! Our fake chimney hood over the range is the very first thing you see as you walk through our new kitchen, and the plinth has completely finished giving it the 'wow' factor. Now it just needs painting the same colour of the kitchen units, and it will be just perfect.
Thank you Stuart!"

Hi Stuart
We just wanted to say thank you so much for the mantle shelf, which arrived and was perfect. We have put it up this weekend and very much appreciate the instructions with it. We are not great at DIY but your instructions, along with markings on the shelf, really helped us to ensure it was even!! My husband was very impressed and your help with our order very much appreciated.
Very many thanks once again.
Best wishes

Hello Stuart,
I just wanted to say how delighted we are with the swing we purchased from you recently. My husband had hobbled together one himself which was utter rubbish! And now our two children are so pleased with the upgrade, which hangs from a picture perfect apple tree.
Also delighted to see you’re relatively local in Hampshire (we’re in Somerset).
Thanks again.
