Overbed unit

Wondering if any of you could help us out.

We're looking to buy an overbed unit to save on space in the bedroom. It will need to fit a double bed. We've had a look at argos, harveys, b&q etc. But unsure what to go for.

Does anyone have any experience with these, where to buy from, prices etc? We're not looking to spend too much

    what do you mean by too much?
    the over part costs about 100 and up.
    and then you need two wardobes to complete. say another 100 each.
    so in total itll be about 300/400 quid for an average one.

    these are just the cheapo flatpack types. no idea what a real quality one is?
    Get some gorm.

    I would not recommend using Argos flat pack. Last one that I assembled was rubbish compared with a similar item from IKEA.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Totally agree, I put one together for a client about a year ago and it was shoddy and flimsy. Cost £450 as well!!
