I am looking for a quantity - perhap ten or more - basic kitchen wall
cupboards in plain wipeable white. Size not fixed anything from 600
to 1000 wide and perhaps 600 to 750 high. These are for a workshop
to put behind various machines to keep the tools and accessories
specific to that machine in. It seems the sheds have gone upmarket
and plain flat white cupboards aren't stocked anymore. Any pointers
to a source without going bankrupt????
Howdens do a very cheap range - typical 8 units for �199.
They also do 28mm 3 metre worktops at �35.
You must know someone who has an account with them?
Wickes do a similarly priced range, though it may have to be ordered
in store, as they dont often sell them. -

I've used the Wickes Miami range before and they are surprisingly good for
the money. 500mm wall unit �26, 1000mm wall unit �34. Not all branches
stock them though, don't know why.



Our local branch (High Wycombe) seems to stock them - but don't actually
try to buy. They won't have the one you want, or if they have one, they
won't have the two you need. At the same time, if you can face Slough,
they seemed to have them stacked a mile high in every variant. (This was
true months ago - no idea about current stocks.)

I have to say to BigWallop, I think you'd be pushing it to achieve a
similar level of cupboard for the price by making your own out of
whatever melamine faced chip you can get. Might just about manage on the
flat areas, but by the time you add hinges, screws, glue, handles, etc.
- I doubt it would be worth doing.

(Focus used to do the same basic furniture range including Miami -
though they called it something else. But last I saw, they were
dismantling all kitchen displays. So you might be lucky, more likely not.)
