Dishonest Avoid!! I purchased an Oak Height chart from this company and after many many weeks it finally arrived. I was shocked to see it was in fact just oak veneer on the face whilst the rest was unfinished rough MDF. The paper star had also screwed up the engraving. The owner "Marie" eventually replied to my contact attempts, admitted the error and promised a full refund. Weeks later I still do not have my refund and she refuses all calls and doesn't answer emails. Dishonest short sighted approach. My credit card provider will recover my cash which is a painless process for me but others should
