How do you choose who to use...?

Does anyone have recommendations of what to look for (and look out for) when obtaining quotes for bedroom furniture (fitted wardrobes mainly)?

I've already had one quote, but having done a little research (google!) I've been reading arguments heavily weighted against the company. I won't mention the name as I don't want a thread just slagging companies off, and I appreciate that people are far more likely to go on the internet to complain than they are to praise.

So - are there any golden rules that will help you avoid poor products/dodgy fitters/cowboy tradesmen?

    Your bedroom is the reflection of who you are the choices of colors and furniture. A better way to do is picture out your bedroom what would you wan it to be. Consider the space of the room, and the things important that you need to have in your room. and of course the Budget try recycling what you have that may help you save. remodel it or repaint it (like your grandmas closet). a little advice your bedroom is a place where you can relax to, so avoid adding television sets, computer set it will make you stay late at night and the bedroom will no longer be a place to relax but a place to entertain so avoid such thing so it can maintain the relaxing mood in your room. I hope this help.

    first golden rule is not to use any company with bright glitzy showrooms and sales staff on commission only.
    second rule is not to use any national company.
