DIY fitted wardrobes

Can someone please point me to a good book or site on doing your own fitted wardrobes.

I know this is a long way from a flat-pack job, but I'm confident in my basic logic skills :)
Still wish I could buy a TARDIS instead of a house!

    The wickes system is a timber frame type design as opposed to an mfi chipboard panel construction. I also know that some stores will sell the doors seperately if you want to make your own frame. Why not have a look in wickes at the constuction and grab yourself a wickes 'good idea' leaflet that explains everything.

    It costs nothing to say thankyou

    I agree with andrewmoorcroft that the wickes frame system is a good option. Very flexible and wastes hardly any space.
