Quality drawing frames, delivered promptly, excellent customer service.
I am in awe of how beautiful and well made my new Orchard drafting board is. The customer service was very helpful with my questions and my board arrived packaged superbly, I don’t think shipping damage would have even been possible. I would highly recommend this company and their products to anyone in the market for a drafting board, student or professional. There is absolutely nothing of this quality and elegance available anywhere else and the pricing is incredibly reasonable. I’m so pleased!
Very helpful to get back to me & organise a prompt delivery of the exact item that I needed making sure it was the correct item for the job -very pleased with the service.

I asked different producers why should I spend my money on their lightboxes, but TBigOrchard gave me the best explanation. I got my beautiful profesional lightbox -Slimline A3- delivered to Córdoba (Spain) within 5 days, safe and nicely. Now my lightbox makes my life easier, and my drawings neater. Excellent customer service! nice people!
