  • any ready made units are going to be cheaper than getting a chippy to custom build something, but that depends if you can find the exact units you want off the shelf.
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    We went to IKEA for ours. You do have the option to customise the wardrobes using their design options. Their computer system allows you to customise your design and you have control over this.

    from where can i get ready made units?
  • as Barney said have a look in ikea, they will be flat packed so you will have to put them together yourself but at least you can design it, make sure you take all your measurements with you so you know they will fit

    No offense to the DIY sheds but a bespoke carpenter builtin wardrobe is by far the best.

    If you can afford it then research local carpenters and ask for quote and references (and follow these up) and the result would be far better than what a flat pack can offer.

    Just be aware it will cost.
