Wardrobes

Does anyone here have the following wardrobe from Laura Ashley (provencale range)

The missus has been bugging me to get it, but I have a feeling it may be too big to get round a staircase corner. I was hoping that if it was too big I could dismantle the thing and re-asssemble it myself.

If you have one, could you see how the thing is put together. Screws, nails or gule? I will draw the line at glued because im not going to knock ten bells of st out of it just to take it apart, I dont want to damage it.

BTW, they only supply it fully built!

You could always just take the doors off, that way it will go over a low rail etc. Might go round the corner then if you approach it with the wardrobe in the right orientation...

True, but I just want to be on the safe side.

You can do a damn sight better for less money

Can't say it's perfect for your needs or comment on the company but for example:

it's ok buddy - we all feel yer pain!
Just make sure you introduce some manly Karma into the proceedings. When you've installed the wardrobe take a moment - smoke a tab, look at some tits and strip down a carb on the kitchen table.

Works for me!

JESUS! I only just noticed the price...you could get the real thing in real wood for far less, and have some resale value when the next fashion whim takes her indoors' fancy.

I mean, whats wrong with this? Is functional, recyclable, can be painted any colour and good value. Plus it fits up the frikkin stairs!

I have this exact wardrobe. No it does not come apart at all, solidly glued together, you can't take the doors off because they are riveted on. There is basically no chance you will ever get this upstairs. A much better idea is http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/9012176... you will definitely get this upstairs.


This is the answer you want. Now you can spend the £1178.50 you've saved on this http://pistonheads.com/sales/1600010.htm

• I haven't really got this wardrobe, just don't let your Mrs scroll down this far.
