What our customers say about Brooks Bros Super Prime FSC® Black Walnut
Whilst the initial m3 cost is not cheap, the outstanding quality and much improved yield in the manufacturing process makes it very good value for money and I can rest assured that the finished product will delight my customers. It also matches the Walnut veneered sheet materials very nicely, which is most important to us.
