Well we have lived in the Comanche now for 8 weeks & have settled in nicely but thought we could do with some more shelves in the kitchen & lounge lockers. So I enquired to Autotrail via email about some shelf edging as I would make the shelves myself out of some 9mm ply & thought that they would look finished off with the correct edging. They duly offered that the correct edging was available at a price of £4.50 + vat + carriage for a 2.44mtr length which I thought was quite reasonable but then they offered to make the shelves. So I gave the measurements of 1@ 766mm x 275 + 2@ 400mm x 275. They replied that the veneered shelves with edging including VAT would be £108!!!!!!!!
So as I would only need approximately 1600mm of edging, say £3 worth, the shelves were going to be over £100. I purchased a sheet of 3 ply and a tin of stain/satin varnish @ £20 for both and I must say they look pretty good!
