MFI bedrooms..... Alternative

Nickij

Hello

We were planning on ordering some fitted bedroom furniture from MFI after xmas, however although its still trading at the moment it doesn't look like it will for much longer, and i am not sure it would be sensible to order something from them at the moment.

Therefore I was wondering who would be a suitable alternative. We can't really afford to go to sharps or hammond (hammonds gave us a very high quote like £3500). Our quote from MFI was about £950 but that is my husband and his friend fitting them themselves.

Do they do fitted furniture then? Thats good! Would they help us design it like MFI?

I don't think Ikea do fitted wardrobes

B&Q have some nice looking stuff these days.
There were some 20% off vouchers on ebay valid until this Sunday.

How important is it that the bedroom is fitted? Surely you'd retain some flexibility by not fitting it, wouldn't you?

Presumably the beds are of a standard size, maybe you could build the wardrobes yourself from scratch using materials from, say, B&Q?

It seems IKEA do do fitted bedrooms these days, and fitted wardrobes too, although it's a comparatively recent thing for them; they used to be pretty much flatpack-only.

That's the wardrobe planner. You can design the layout of your wardrobes - they're kind of modular, so flexible with space to a degree, but they're not fitted.
