Real Wood Veneer

Does anyone know of any places in Essex or London that sell sheets of wood veneer? I want to make some fitted wardrobes out of MDF but with real wood veneer on the outside, solid wood would cost s fortune. I'm after a walnut, chocolate brown colour.

I've used these before (the web site appears to have dissapeared though)

J Crispin & Sons

I think the address is :-

92-96 Curtain Road
London
EC2A 3AA

The website was :-
http://www.jcrispinandsons.co.uk/

Hope that helps.

P.S. Do you know what you're doing with veneer ? I didn't but found a couple of useful books in my local library. In the end I used glue film which works for me.
