Be Wary About Buying from a Computer Screen or Brochure
Whilst the internet is great for finding cabins it can never show you the quality of the product being displayed. This is why you should make it a price consideration of viewing before buying, if possible. Even if you don’t view it’s worth dealing with a company which has a cabin display site. This alone proves they are happy for their products to be inspected at close quarter – unlike many cabins UK companies selling on the web.
