I couldn't be happier with my vintage tray. It's in lovely condition, arrived very well wrapped and came ASAP. As well as being exactly as described, I felt in safe hands throughout. I would definitely shop with this business again. 10/10!

Really lovely quality piece. I’ve been looking for a while for a printers tray and I love the addition of the newspaper with this one. Thank you!

Really lovely drawer, it was in a bit of a rough condition and I had to add my own means of hanging on the wall, but other than that I’m really happy with it. Came fast and well packed. Hanging in our stairwell, really draws the eye in!

Hello Leah, I do do my best to clearly state the condition of these letterpresses cases, and I apologise if I wasn't clear enough in this case. All the cases I sell are unuseable by printers, having various faults. I do not use viable cases, denying printers the chance of buying them and using them for their real purpose. Regarding the hanging fixings, this is something that I have never offered. The reason is that there are always four ways of hanging a case, so fixings would have to be added after the confirmed sale, and this at times may delay me posting out the tray. This is something that I have been thinking about, and may well add this as an option in future. Thank you though so much for the five stars, very much appreciated. Kind regards, Vic ~ MakerMaking

Absolutely no problem with the experience. But I’m an idiot and didn’t read the description properly so ended up with a mass of type that’s far too small for my intended purpose. Quality packaging and VERY happy with other items I’ve bought from this seller. Just feeling a bit of a silly billy at the moment 😳
