Buying Fitted Bedroom...advice wanted

newdad_3

Hi,

I run a business putting this stuff together so i consider myself a bit of an expert on the subject. IMO IKEA is the best you can buy for the money followed by B+Q, don't touch MFI as there build quality has gone downhill in the past 12 months. NOLTE is good stuff but it is quite expensive in my experience. Often smaller, local manufacturers can offer a made to measure service that does not work out too bad once you factor in the cost of getting the furniture fitted as well (MFI charge nearly as much as the furniture for fitting).

Hope this helps somehow.

Cheers.

I was interested in a fitted kitchen and looked in the which website. As far as I can recall B&Q didn't receive much praise for their customer service. I would assume their bedrooms would be the same.

MFI are rubbish and don't believe their sales. They are all false.
I went into one the other day to get shelf section for my computer desk.
The were advertising it at over £120 , reduced to half price to £60

Its only 3 pieces of chipboard! I told the sales assistant that they were having a laugh and he *agreed* that the prices are artificially inflated before the sale. I had a good mind to go to trading standards.


Some B&Q bits aren’t bad. I helped my friend do his kitchen on a budget.

Ikea stuff is pretty well made, just don’t buy their kitchens. Their cabinets fit flush to the wall, taking no account for pipes and electrics. There should be a gap behind!

Anyway, my dads a kitchen/bedroom fitter and we had a really nice Crown fitted bedroom done for £1700 all in. Admittedly I got a big discount but the quality is superb.

Buy the best you can afford. Its false economy not to as cheap stuff falls apart and looks tatty in no time.
