I am a self-employed artist and have purchased framing materials from Lion since 2003 and always found their service to be second to none. While living in the Midlands, I would call into the trade counter and collect lengths of molding and other materials and sundries. For the last 10 years I have lived in East Anglia. I now use the chop service - which is fast, accurate and very satisfactory. On the very rare occasion when there has been an error in an order, it has been rectified straight away with no fuss. I recommend Lion to fellow artists at every opportunity!
