Perfect solution

We have a coatstand with a tubular frame. It is a timeless, useful design which we have had for many years ... the original 'feet' disintegrated years ago. It didn't matter as it was sitting on ceramic tiles. We have recently relocated to a house with Amtico flooring and pieces of cardboard under the feet wasn't a long-term solution. One of your products came to the rescue and gave our coatstand a new lease of life. Thank you.

Faultless Service

The product work as expected - allowing a bespoke ply platform for my washing machine to slide over a vinyl floor. However the stand out thing for me was the service from KeayVitalParts. Ordered Friday PM (after the 1.00Pm cut off) and products were delivered on the Tuesday - but it was a Bank Holiday Monday weekend a so really pleased. Well done
