This may be a bit late but thought you might like to know my experiences with Homebase and Schreiber.
No, life is too short to tell you the whole story so here's the summary...
Delivery 17th Jan.
Fitters started 21st Jan with expected completion on the 25th.
It's now the beginning of June and it's not finished!
Is this just a few units?
Nope... £20,000's worth.
So if you haven't decided yet
DON'T DO IT!!
And if you have ..... Good luck

Any joy now?I'm just about to order the Homebase/Schrieber combination.

Note its all just branding. Home Retail Group own Argos and Homebase, and they own the Schreiber brand which they can stamp on anything they want. At least the brand has more history than the B&Q made-up Cooke& Lewis brand (for which an advertising company won an award !)
Simon.


The Homebase stuff I looked at had very thin shelves which would not
take our loadings. Also they used upward opening doors which most women
can't reach. Very pretty but crap.
