Question 5

Andy Macdonald

Hi, with regards to bed size you show 12ft x 4ft @ £119.95, yet you say you not deliver longer than 6ft. Presumably made up of x2 6ft x4ft? If so it works out cheaper if I buy 12ft x 4ft rather than x2 6ft x 4ft which works out at £139.90 yes?...

You give the height of the timber as being only 5cms, surely this isn't correct. I have my eye on the one pictured with the dark green painted timber and the timber looks to be way higher than 5cm. Please specify the height of the timber.
