Wood Ordered!

I've decided that me attempting to cut wood in a straight line across several components is probably a bad idea. 

I tried approaching several local timber merchants and none were willing to cut 18mm MDF boards to size for me. 

I found a company named Savoy Timber (http://www.savoytimber.com) and they gave me the prices below. 

By the time I pay postage probably it will be quite a bit more expensive than buying sheets and cutting them myself but hopefully less margin for error since there will only be the two side sheets for me to cut.

I've placed the order tonight, wonder what the quality is like once it arrives? 

I've also just realised that I left out the keyboard drawer from the original quote (doh!) so just shot off a grovelling email to Savoy to see if it can be added.

Edit 25.09.2014 - Savoy have come back to me and allowed me to add the keyboard drawer for £2.50, haven't come back to me about when it will all be delivered though...
