Build your own Internal Mirrored Waredrobes advice

flexrider

Okay I was just wondering (and warning about a company i had the pleasure to have met yesterday) of how hard is it to build your own internal Waredrobes in a bedroom,

The reason i ask is that i contacted when i was overseas sharpes designers and was quoted over 3grand for a internal waredrobe yet i have been looking today at sites like wicks and B+Q which seem to offer all the parts more cheaper in a d.i.y yourself kind of senario.

I think the reason its so expensive form that company is that they have to pay the telesales staff and consultant who visits? Could be wrong on that one but i was expecting someone to consult me yesterday looking like craig from big brother with a big drill and pencil benhind their ears in overalls or something as most joiners wear lol.

Instead i got a woman who pulled up in a new plate mercades c class outside my house so alarm bells starting to ask myself

we spoke for five or so miuites then she pulled out a measuring tape to the walls i wanted to have the internal waredrobe fitted. said something about not much depth in room (However in catalouge it says whatever depth they could do it) and started the pitch about extensions ect to get the waredrobes im looking for fitted with their team

Its got me thinking? how hard is it to build internal warebrodes and storage? Has anyone done it on here

Thanks again for your comments

When you consider that doors are between £50 and £150, tracks are about £15 per meter and trade fitting is say £150 it does make you think just where the extra money that these wardrobe firms charge is going to

The hardest thing with these wardrobes is working out if the majority of the space should be allocated to trousers and shirts or blouses and skirts. Normally the later
