Bedroom Furniture Help please

All

I'm currently re-fitting my master bedroom in the house. In the back bedroom I have solid oak furniture from oak furniture land (online retailer) I paid about £1100 for the set and the quality is stunning.

In the front room I wanted some sort of white furniture, preferably high gloss white, but the ranges in my budget I have found e.g. Dwell stuff, that look ok in pictures, look really cheap and nasty in the flesh. For example the draw carcasses are all laminated chipboard and not proper mortice joints. This compares to the solid oak furniture that has solid oak draws as well.

Can anyone give me suggestions for high gloss lacquered bedroom sets of good quality I can look at or potentially just order online. I will push the budget to £2k for the whole set (bed, wardrobe, chest of draws and bedside table).

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to buy the oak furniture and have it finished in white afterwards, or possibly even by the manufacturers ? At least you'd then get the quality you're after.

I had thought of this, they do it in cream but not white.

I suppose I could get it professionally painted white once it arrives. Wonder if I could do it myself without wrecking it.

Have a look on my work website at the Kingstown range, it's a bit pricy but very good quality. White is allways a problem however as to get a gloss White finish most companys use a laminate on top of a mdf board which is never going to be in the same league as solid oak. www.mercersfurniture.co.uk

I quite like this one, are the carcasses solid walnut or verneer?

Any showrooms I can see it in?

The walnut in those is a veneer, we don't have that range on display in any of our showrooms but we have just started doing a new range that is very similar and quite a bit cheaper that I have on display in our Rotherham shop and our Wetherby shop.
