Much more impressive in reality

Your pictogram looks even more impressive in reality than I have seen it I have seen on your website so far. Stainless steel in the hands of (PHOS) artists is a fascinating material. The pictogram is really something and I am very very pleased that I decided in favour of this PHOS pictogram. Thank you thank you again for your time and effort. Ron W., Holzgerlingen (DE)
