stairs, where to buy?

tbh, I don't know how much the skirting was - that 'decision' was taken out of my hands so I didn't get to vote on it........but as they were on site at the time, it wasn't outrageous or I'd have noticed it on the chequebook.......

I'll be honest, 6500 sounds cheap..

I effectively got two stairs (basement - GF, GF - FF), and I paid 14k for it. This was in canadian maple and stainless details - so, cut my bill in half and it might equate to your requirement. It was worth every cent, as it is one of the (very) few items in the house that went 100%, in terms of price, delivery, satisfaction. I love it.

As for how competitive, well for a start, he was easy to deal with, gave me exactly what I wanted, and didn't say anything wasn't possible. Being able to see some of his finished product was a big ++ Price I paid was actually less than my original choice, so I have no cause to complain.

Can't say better than that, really.
