Report
Just a little word of warning as the company fails to present information clearly on the product page. If you order stretcher bars or any other form of moulding you will often get a minimum quantity of about three metres. So if you order five different one metres pieces and you pay for them at checkout you will get five pieces measuring about three metres each with an invoice that has suddenly doubled. After I contacted the company the only option was to return everything all together including the lengths that I have already used. There was no understanding from the companies side at all.

Helpful and usually efficient. Things go wrong in every business and what really impresses me is their willingness to acknowledge and effectively deal with any issues I may have. I also like the fact that they have a field rep who regularly visits to discuss ways he can help me. Overall Lion are a very good partner. Sometimes a bit expensive.

My wife picked my order up today. Jumbo mount boards damaged in warehouse only ones available, still sold at full price regardless of highlighting this with staff. Very poor customer service!
