Anyone got these at all?

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

Sure, it was £200, and I went for the deeper drawers which had an additional fitting charge. TBH I could probably do it myself or get a local guy for cheaper but it saves me taking a day off and keeps my weekend free for beer

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.

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.

So no communication to rearrange date I decided to cancel. Emailed and called several times before I managed to finally get a refund promised today. Disappointed it didn't work out but wanted confidence in the company/fitting and this didn't help. Will revisit at some point I'm sure, hopefully when someone else gets a successful install.
