Delivered super quick, and lovely packaging. Haven't yet used the products but the seem to be of excellent quality.
Brilliant product and customer service. Lovely surprise in with order and a very useful guide. Fully recommend Gilboy’s.
Perfect for cleaning up reclaimed wood. Had some old oak decking with black stains on from steel screws. Used this on them to lighten them up and make the wood a more even colour. Took a bit of experimentation with how long to leave it and number of tries but got it looking really nice with lots of character. Great that this is in powder form so you can mix up what you need when you need it,
Since then, I've tried it on some dark stains on an oak table. Worked really well and looks like new once sanded and polished.
Arrived quickly, well packaged, in no plastic, with a hand written note and a pack of sunflower seeds I'll plant next year. Really nice touch. Thanks for a great product and great service.
Used the oak coloured wax, found it easy to apply and was very pleased with the result.
Product fine (although it could not bleach dark wood ply), but paying for 1st class still did not result in next day delivery-Royal Mail's fault not Gilboys!
Says what it does on the tin
Great finish.
Put on 3 coats
Have to watch the drying process and make sure the coats have fully dryed before putting on the next coat.
People and businesses should take notice of how Gilboys conduct their business. From their Social Media, paid promotions, their website, the ease of ordering. The list goes on. The speed of delivery and the quality of the packaging was top notch.
Now let’s talk the rose gold wax. Absolutely fantastic! The smell, the application and the finish , all superior.
I refurbished a 25+ year old pine dining table, chairs and small cupboard to refresh our dining room. I painted the bases and chairs with Fusion mineral paint and used Gilboys hard wax oil (2 coats) for the tops, followed by a single coating of Gilboy's Pure Gold beeswax and buffed with the fine wire wool and buffing cloth from the gift pack, to a lovely sheen. It feels so lovely under the touch and looks amazing. I put too much wax on and hard to cut it back with the wire wool but after a bit of work it came good for a perfect finish.
I love Simon's enthusiasm in his YouTube videos and will be ordering more products for future projects without a doubt!
Highly recommended, oh and try the honey, it's fab on toast!
Really pleased with the results of restoring two inherited Ercol kitchen chairs.
Having watched the videos I felt confident to tackle the project. I bought both the hard wax oil in clear and the beeswax pure gold . Both were great to use and have beautifully enhanced the appearance of the wood.
Thank you .
Paired this with the oil for my kitchen unit tops and it’s turned out so well. I’m training in upholstery so have used the rest and can report I’m very happy with the bundle. Love how it pairs with the YouTube tutorials and the little booklet with tips which I’ve passed to classmates! Nice personal notes too which is sweet. Thanks guys
Recent complete Kitchen overhaul and decided to put up an Oak shelf to compliment the cupboards and rest of kitchen, then the task of what finish to use. Came across Simon on youtube describing his own Hard Wax Oil, asked a few questions to which Simon responded promptly so purchased the HWO. I have been very impressed by the product and also by Simon and his team. They come across as very caring, professional and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
I have attached a few photos of the shelf. I had purchased 2 planks and the shelf offcut I finished with 2 coats of the oil same as the shelf, so used this to try and put into context.
Again Highly recommend.
Really good, I have used it on two tables and it enhanced the colour and shine
As a complete novice I was completely dependent on the quality of the product and the online tutorials. Combined with the Gilboys Antique Gold Wax that I already had, this has given me a wonderful, rich and water repellent finish for my first ever table-top. Worth every penny.
Arrived in good order just as promised. Personal note and seeds are a nice touch. Still to use the product, but looks just what I am looking for.
Thank you for all you help and advice though your videos and emails it really inspires to get started! The products are so easy to use and give a fantastic finish.
My wife decided to buy a second hand Ercol dining table and chairs that was in need of renovation and so far have finished one chair. Really looking forward to seeing the complete set finished . Photo shows before (carver) and after (chair)
Was introduced to The wonders of Gilboys watching an influencer o You Tube restoring furniture. I purchased several items.
Not only did they arrive quickly, they were expertly packaged and there was a personalised note which is a lovely touch.
The oil is superb and goes on easily. Note to self a little goes a long way!
Vey impressed. On another note I asked a few questions directly to Simon. He answered with reassurance that I had not ruined the furniture (over using the oil!!!) and he gave me tips on what I needed to do.
What a brilliant company.
We called by on chance and met Simon, he spent loads of time showing us around and passing on his knowledge on how to best use their products.
Loved the personal note with the box too.
Haven't used it as yet but have doubt it will be amazing
Unbelievable products. The hard wax oil and the wax polish combined is just something else. I cant see myself using anything other than this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very pleased with the result of my grandfather’s old and worn out chair. Amazing results and followed Simon’s three step process to restore the chair which removed all the confusion out of how best to do this. Now just finishing the upholstery.
Lovely product, quickly received, thank you.
Gives wood a natural, smooth feel. Soft shine and silky touch - I love it.
Very happy with the product and the speed of delivery. Seem like a genuinely nice firm to buy from.
I came across Gilboys after watching YouTube furniture restoration videos, and found the service excellent on this, my first purchase.
