£399 for supply only but wondered if anyone knew what the quality of the drawers was like.

I made a set of those for my daughter's house out of 18mm MDF. Took a bit of time but the key is getting the angle of the stairs right. Son in law, who's an Engineer measured the angle for me and did the CAD drawings at his work and I made them all in my garage/workshop. When we came to fit them, he'd got the angle wrong, it was 10 degrees out. Typical expert for you eh?
Eventually got it right and they look and work brilliantly. Not hard to do but make sure you keep everything square. If anyone want the CAD drawings I'll see if I can dig them out. All in, wood and sliders, came to around £100.

Yes please! This would be idea for our under-stairs area as you can't get at the back anyway! Front needs to house electricity meter and CU so would leave some space for that and the hoover.Eventually got it right and they look and work brilliantly.

Hmm interesting theme developing here - Wife has also added these to the list of stuff to get done. I'd seen several photos on google of similar things but didn't realise there was a flat pack solution.
Only thing that bothers me is that they look to made out of MDF? Not sure how durable that will be for the drawer fronts.. it seems to dent quite badly if knocked.

The drawers are made of mdf. The fronts come matt white and ready to paint if you so wish. Assume you could fill in any knocks anyway.Only thing that bothers me is that they look to made out of MDF? Not sure how durable that will be for the drawer fronts.. it seems to dent quite badly if knocked.

Have you had these fitted yet Worsy?
Well....was booked in today.The guy rang the home phone Tuesday (no one in) leaving a message to ask whether he could fgit that day. He then emailed me to which I replied, sorry no can do no one home.
Today comes, and I get a phonecall at 8.30 from "the office" saying his daughter is not well, sorry about that, someone will call to rearrange.
Can't decide if I should give benefit of doubt or cancel based on not being up front.
