Product Photos And Descriptions

Product descriptions and specifications are correct to the best of our knowledge. All weights and dimensions are approximate. If you spot any inaccuracies or mistakes, then please let us know so that we can put it right. We always try to represent product colours as accurately as possible, but in practice this is very difficult, if not impossible - a product photo which appears to be a good colour match on our computer screen will more than likely look different on your particular combination of computer, screen and operating system.
