    Have you tried your local seconhand furniture shops or the small ads in your local paper.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    The argos canvas one's aren't bad for a starter cheapie wardrobe and surprisingly strong (even after disassembly and rebuild to move house!). We have one in our spare room which until last year was our main wardrobe. Shelves get filled up and the top of it is a very useful shelf too. Not sure how old it is as OH owned it before we met ...i'd guess it must be about 8 years old now..hanging rail has sagged in the middle a bit but we did overload it with too many clothes so not really surprising!
    I'd advise you to steer clear of tesco cheap pine wardrobes...we bought some of their bedroom furniture and it took an afternoon and evening to put one wardrobe together..extremely difficult to square up and doors kept grating. Poor quality overall and i ended up disassembling and sending back.

    Did I read correctly, someone actually moves a wardrobe at regular intervals to clean behind it!!! I cannot imagine it.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
