...perfect, apart from price tag of £299

yea thats the one ,i looked about a fair bit as you do & the few corner units that are out there are at some silly prices .

didnt really want to pay £299 but it's quite a substantial unit & worth it imo.

Tesco?

£89



£87.11


Plus many more... They don't do it now but we got a solid Oak one from them and it is really sturdy, holds a 42" TV, Sky, VCR, DVD and a Computer as well as a lot else!!! Had it delivered to local store for free and collected it flatpack in a trolley.

Or this one is very similar to your pic, shown in dark pine but available in light too £159 but you may find some further discount codes on the codes forum on here...

Hi,
Have you looked on www.rightpricefurniture.co.uk
I bought solid oak bedroom furniture from them last year and the quality is excellent. Looks like they have some nice TV cabinets, some close to the £200 mark too.

Thanks for all the help. A feww pieces at rightpticefurniture.co.uk that fit the bill - would have ebay a few more things first though!!!

Hi

Have you tried any small independent retailers ?

I have a shop near me that doesn't stock much but has lots of catologues and can get just about anything at a reasonable price.
They have access to a mill that gets seconds and returns on oak furniture but to be honest I can never see the 'fault' and have bought loads of things from them.

Can't believe the prices...thought there was a recession on & it was a buyers market! Not much in Cotswold to consider, as it is a corner one that i'm after. Love the idea of buying from charity shop, however local ones are small & don't stock furniture. Did see one in halfcost, but small print says they are spoils. So the serach continues....thanks for help so far!

I've just bought some furniture from Halfcost (Cotswold company chest and shelves) and can't believe they are seconds as I can't see any damage, particularly to the chest which looks immaculate. If you do decide to order there is a code available which gives you 15% off - that's on top of the 15%/20% off if you spend over £100/£200. I'm really impressed by the quality, especially as the furniture comes ready assembled.

Thanks again everyone.

We have just purchased a solid oak tv unit on line at www.franceshunt.co.uk
It was well cheaper then m&s, Next etc. Excellent quality, and fast delivery. Would highly recommend.
