Customer doesn't want to paint MDF. They want a finished board. Yea, I think fixing above top shelf will be least noticeable. Thanks re. kitchen draw pack, I'll check them out.

Yea . cheers Al, although he has said he will be willing to close the pub for a couple of days if need be. Have you had any experience of pub fitting.?? If it was drinking I would be ok :wink:
