    I recently bought a double wardrobe and single wardrobe plus a bookcase for only £300. I got £5 off ikea voucher for every £50 I spent by opening up a store card. I shall be buying some other things with my vouchers. This is only good if you like diy as putting up the wardrobes takes some time.

    I still recommend it as it was cheaper than the sales at MFI and Sharps. You must make ure that you have a big enough vehicle to transport it home unless you are willing to pay the £35 delivery.

    Hope this helps :T
  • i'll have a look at ikea website. half the problem is room is cream and i've no idea what colour wood of painted furniture to go for. thanks for your quick reply theough

    I got some ikea stuff recently, I got a 3 door wardrobe, a chest of drawers and 2 bed side cabinets for 125pounds, they were all really good quality, better than what we got for the nursury from MFI

    Yeah I went to warrington, it has two cafes, one at the begining and one at the tills. Do the top floor first or you have to backtrack yourself to go upstairs where all the furniture is.

    There is a play area where you can leave them for a small fee (if she is young) but this was being refurbished when I went a few weeks ago
