old 700mm hight...*******S!......does anybody know if any place can
supplt new door fronts that will fit ?

There are loads of firms out there that make replacement cabinet doors
in a range of finishes and types.


yes £900 for 10 doors..I don't think so.....bought a £1.50 tester of
dulux that matches and now in the process of sanding down and
re-painting.....never going near Ieka ever again which is a shame be
cause I love there vegie hot dogs ......

I have managed to avoid IKEA completely. SWMBO and I did take a trip
(~100 miles round trip) to the one at Lakeside, Thurrock in 1999. We
parked up and decided to investigate Costco first, on the recommendation
of a friend. Had luch there, joined up, and filled the car with shopping.
Then it was time to go home.




Ikea is ok for some things, ideal for 'student furniture' and setting up
your off spring with pots, pans, etc for Uni. but you really need to
invest in a decent kitchen if you want it to last.

A CostCo Card is a good investment, we visit the Thurrock one several
times a year and stock up on meat, fish and some other things.

joined Costco in about '95 never covered the £30 fee over the years I was a
member......great if you want to stuff your face american style with buns
but not much else ......waste of money supermarkets are cheaper...same with
makro .....
