Sliding wardrobe doors

We are looking to install mirror sliding wardrobe doors to go from wall to wall and I wonder if anyone has used the B and Q cheap ones, or Wickes, or the more expensive ones from a company called Deanes Direct?

Yes I've used the B&Q ones. My mum the DIY whizz fitted them about 5 years ago. They were still good as new when we moved out a year ago. I really miss those wardrobes in our new house, I only noticed your question because I was looking for hints on what to do now! They did a good job but I really can't afford a new set right now.

Fitting the runners was very fiddly and beyond my DIY skills, partly because our floor and ceiling were very "wiggly" so we (she!) had to do a lot of fiddling to get them flat enough to take the doors without trouble.

One of the doors had a tendency to pop out of the runner at the top for a while, never worked out why but it stopped after a while. The fixings which attach the doors to the runners feel very flimsy but seem to do the job.

We bought and installed the Wickes ones and they were very easy to fit and look great and were easier to get hold of than getting them from B and Q but thanks for replying.
