I wanna: Set of drawers for girls bedroom

kristi

Hi all, apologies if this is in the wrong place. I'm after a set of good quality drawers for my daughters room, she is only 1 but her clothes are taking over! Anyway I have looked in all the usual places (Argos, Tesco etc) but none of them seem very good quality or aren't very big. I want them to last a long time rather than keep buying new sets as she gets older. I know you lot are great at spotting quality things at bargain prices.

These are the ones I really want but can't really afford over £300. My limit is about £150.

& £199

But huge would last her for years.

They have pretty glass handles, like crystals.

I would definitely look at Ikea. They have some bedroom furniture which you can paint yourself to match the room. Also, you can apply for a family card (which is free) and you get free tea and coffee in restaurant from Mon to Thurs and special offers in the shop.

We have this set from Ikea in the pink, its a nicer pink that the picture shows.

Maybe not going to last but then bedroom styles change as they grow older. I just got a mail shot from my Ikea family card with a £10 off a £60 spend.

Yeah, I have the Ikea family card, its great! My nearest Ikea is about 40 miles away so we only usually go when we need a lot of stuff and they charge £60 delivery to my area, but I will have a look and if its worth it then will go. I have had a mailing too, just need to find it!

Thanks everyone

Just found my mailing and there is only a voucher for £2.50 off the NJUTA range when I spend £5 or more.

I would definitly recommend Ikea furniture, having bought Argos drawers etc in the past to find even the lightest of clothing forces the bottoms out of the drawers find that they way Ikea furniture goes together makes them a hell of a lot stronger. I also purchased the 3 door wardrobe they have for £69.90 in April when they had their 21st birthday celebration and the room in it is amazing, Myself and OH have managed to get all our clothing in here with out it looking crammed in and crumpled.

It is also worth taking with you (if you decide to visit) exact measurments of the items you require as i found with Ikea every item differs in size, whereas Argos seem to be very universal with their sizing.

Just in case Ikea doesn't have what you want, my boys have the Aviemore pine range from Argos (two rooms worth). It's solid on the whole - standing up to a 7, 5 and 2.5 year old for 2 years so far. They're not the deepest drawers, but not the shallowest either.

One of the wardrobes is admittedly getting a bit rickety, but it's moved rooms four times in the last two years, and it's only the last move that made it like that.

I bought this one for daughters room 3 years ago and its still in perfect condition, it costs £189 in Ikea, its very sturdy isnt as flimsy as the ones in the childrens section, i changed the handles to some pretty silver ones that cost £5 in Homebase. It has 2 deep bottom drawers which i keep bedding and coats in, 2 good sized middle drawers which i put tops in one and trousers/skirts etc in the other, then in the top 4 drawers i put pj's in one, socks and knickers another and still have 2 drawers left which i fill with clothes in the next size up which i have bought in the sale. The drawers are HEMNES, you will find them under bedroom, and then chest of drawers on the ikea website

The closest to the OP's original choice is probably the Leksvik range:-

Its solid wood so should last.
