Hi All, B&Q have some 3 piece bedroom sets, Wardrobe, 3 drawer chest and 2 drawer bedside table white and maple colour.[also pine but didnt price check the pine] Display says normally £149 now £119 so with the 10% off this weekend expected to pay £108. At the till it came up £84 before the 10% off. Checkout woman said 'is that right only these have been coming up wrong'. OH said quickly 'yep'. I didnt say anything! and then she put the extra 10% through and we paid £76. This was at B&Q Oldham. I dont know if its all stores. Not best quality but ok for kids bedroom/spare room. Hope this helps someone. :j

scoobylou did u pick up 2 boxes for the wardrobe 1 of 2 and 2 of 2
i am under the impression that they are part of 1 package but my husband got charged £35 for each box.0 -
any pictures anywhere of what this looks like?Ah! Good old trusty beer... I hope you never change.0

Bindiboo. Only picked up 1 box for the wardrobe so hope I haven't only got half a wardrobe! Its unbelievably heavy feels more like 2 in 1 box but its still in the packaging to be assembled next weekend. I will check the if theres anything written on the box to see if it indicates 1 of 2 pieces. Let you know.0

You have only picked up one of two required boxes. i nearly made the same error. if it's any help both boxes are bl00dy heavy.
Still a good deal though and with the extra 10% it should do my little son nicely.what a 42 carat plonker you really are Rodders0 -
ignore this0

bindiboo, it depends on what you bought. i'll try to explain
if you just bought a wardrobe that is a 2 box thing then you pay for both boxes, say £35 x 2 or £35 plus £39. each box has a seperate barcode so they are bought seperatly.
certain items however are part of a deal. a wardrobe, set of draws and bedside cabinet for example. when you buy all the pieces which make up the set you get them at a special price (much like buying 3 dvds for 20 quid at tescos).
