Great products made here.
Learned alot about our waste.
Happy with product and delivery, however there didn't seem to be an option to purchase as a gift. I would've liked to add a gift card. But more importantly, I could not select a different billing name and address, to the delivery name and address, which was disappointing. I did send an email once the order was confirmed, requesting the billing details to be omitted from the parcel, but as I did not receive a reply I don't know if this was done or not. I assume not, as the email requesting a review made salutations to the gift recipient.
Loved this place for what it is doing in the reuse space and also for the sheer quality of what they are making. Brad gave us the story of how things have got to where they are from where they started. Passion has certainly taken them on an amazing journey.
Well worth a visit.

What a business, we need more of these passionate people like Brad and Narelle. Another dozen of these businesses around the country, with their ingenuity and passion, and I reckon our waste stream would halve. They have a small and very diverse range of recycled products, from Reo bar stools (if you know, you know) to canvas hats made out of old truck tarps, I bought one and love it.
Great shop making use of waste plastic to produce an amazing array of beautiful homewares and giftware. The owners are so warm, informative and friendly. They even when out of their way to help me with charging my Tesla when I was having trouble with my charge cable at their on site charger.
