Have been looking for a while for a set of simple white drawers for dd's room as i am giving it a makeover..these are perfect looking but mixed reviews on how good they are (obviously for the money not fab!) but we have more expensive ones and they are starting to break in places now so not sure on reviews tbh! they will be used so little im hoping ok but seeing as they won't be put together till may time would you buy them?

If anyone knows of a similar set anywhere that won't break the bank please let me know.
Thanks

Are you sure that's the right link for white drawers?
Either way, I'd avoid all argos packflat drawers. They are usually rubbish, & as the reviews state the fronts fall off, and the bottoms collapse.
ikea's malm drawers are a similar price, come in a selection of colours (including white) & are IMO slightly better quality, so tend to fall apart less. Unless your DD wants to store bricks.

Oops no sorry thats the link for the brown ones, the white ones strangely have better reviews?!..dont have an ikea anywhere near me so that's out unless we go up between now and then..may ask dh nicely!
We have the scandanavia range from argos and they have been fab..2 house moves and almost 4 years later still going strong!

I was going to suggest trying Homebase, as my son bought bedroom furniture from there last year and he was about £60 cheaper than Argos - despite it being the exact same furniture and it came delivered in an Argos van (same parent company). But I had a look and there's no white drawers on there.

Btw, my son's furniture was flatpacked and it's pretty good. You get what you pay for obviously, and it took my husband almost the whole day to put together the wardrobe, but in my opinion it was worth the £300+ for a big wardrobe, bedside table and chest of drawers. The drawers are all on smooth runners - unlike the cheap flatpack stuff from years ago.

Last time I assembled something from Argos, it was rubbish compared with IKEA. The Argos unit was only held together by screws. The IKEA was held together with cam fasteners. Far superior in my opinion. Talking as someone who has assembled many flat packs over the years.

I wouldn't know about Ikea. Our nearest one is over 300 miles away and they don't deliver online to Scotland yet.

We have Ikea but I've looked at Argos, drawers very small if you know what I mean? My son couldn't have put his jeans in one for instance but if its only for small and light stuff should be okay.
