Great recommendations for free templates! What are your recommendations for premium/paid templates, specifically Bootstrap 4 templates?
Thanks for comment, Jimmy. To be honest, there’s not that many Bootstrap 4 templates out there, in my experience one of the best is Metronic, see here: http://keenthemes.com/preview/metronic/
The BS3 version was good. But the new BS version 4 – totally sucks.
Its very heavy/big, I think pages is much much better and faster.

I think that you are selective.
Hi Barnsley,
Thanks for the link. The key word you’ve probably missed is FREE Themes, Elephant is not Free. But I do agree it’s good.
It’s free bootstrap admin template, not premium template.

I love AdminLTE. But, it’s only supported with Bootstrap 3. However, if we need easy bootstrap layout class (like: py-3, mx1), we should choose Bootstrap 4-based templates.
