Additional unit for discontinued Symphony kitchen

Hi can anyone offer any thoughts on this? I am trying to source an extra wall cupboard for my kitchen but unfortunately the range has been discontinued.  There are plenty of websites offering replacement doors but I also need the cupboard carcass. Does anyone have any experience of something similar that can give me some advice?  Thank you!

  • It may be worth trying on Ebay or similar for a decent second-hand one?
    Alternatively, most carcasses tend to be fairly standard.  Would it be possible to buy any old carcass, as it were, and fit new doors to it?  I realise it may not be practical if the whole carcass is on show, being a wall unit, but depending on the design it may be possible?
    Might also be worth a quick call/email to the manufacturer on the offchance that they have some old stock lying around, or can point you in the direction of a distributor who has.

    We made up a vanity unit for our shower room from a carcass from Howdens and doors made from one of the online replacement door suppliers.

    Will it be part of a run of existing cupboards? Could you move them along and hide the one with non-matching sides on an end against a wall?
