Really impressed by Cut My…
I'm honestly really impressed by Cut My. I was making a desk for my daughter's bedroom and had a specific shape and sizes in mind. From my sketch, the designer helped me to finesse the final product which was an improvement on what I'd done. The end product looks great.
Some thoughts - it turns out that the corners in my house are not square. I recommend that you check this before setting off on a bespoke project.
Also, delivery times were longer than I expected - I suspect this was partly due to ordering over the Christmas period, but was also informed that it had extra quality control due to being bespoke (it took a few weeks). This didn't really affect me, but worth knowing.
All in all, five stars and I'd use again.

Easy to order and fit. Looks great.
It was easy to navigate the website and order the splash back we wanted. It arrived promptly in excellent condition. As it was mm accurate to our specifications, fitting with the purchased adhesive was straightforward. The final result is excellent.
