Most of the issues are just the normal things I get on most jobs, plus an illegal canopy the company should have flagged up...

The biggest issue is timing, I'd been pencilled in for the 14th and only found out it was diy the Friday before so I had no time to make corrections, then the kitchen turned up at 3 o'clock on good friday.

When you asked i said something along the lines of "it's good stuff, the diy bit is where it goes wrong"
That's definitely still the case, but I'd forgotten the truly awful drawings and vague arrival dates.

You got it

Had a run of the skinny ones a few years back, can't remember if its 9 or 12 mm but customers were having problems registering the warranty, then we started going back to jobs where they've dropped a tin/jar/cup out of a wall unit and got a nice spider web shaped pattern on the worktop. Also a lot of tops with sink or hob cutouts shattering in transit.

I've had no problem with 20mm

Great, i was dreading you saying you had ordered the skinny one

Did/have you considered using dekton for splashbacks?

This muppet even used self drilling screws you use for metalwork to screw them on, so all the legs were falling off when I started moving the units about

20mm dekton is good, but personally I don't like that the edges don't match the surface.i don't like the price either I'd swerve the skinny stuff

Its probably 5+ years since I did a diy, but I had a run doing loads of them, and I'd usually be able to spend a couple of hours going through and changing the order long before I'd turn up to fit.
Last year I had to get some replacement doors/panels for one i did over ten years ago (was rented for 2 years and got abused) and they were great to deal with. Aftersales let a lot of companies down as in any market.
