We bought some fitted bedroom units from MFI in March this year. I
declined their offer to fit them since it would cost almost as much as
the units themselves! (and this is a diy group ;-)

Needless to say during fitting I discovered that the line of units
were actually _longer_ than my bedroom wall! At first I though I had
made a mistake but, no, they did not fit.

I telephoned the store and they admitted they had made a mistake in
the design.

Don't geddit, how come it's their fault? I must be missing something
here. Or are you saying their brochure had the wrong dimensions printed
in it or something?

It wasn't designed from a brochure. They have a CAD (Computer Aided
Design) package. I gave them the room dimensions. They 'designed' a
layout which looked fine on the computer. They printed out some nice
3D pictures of how the room would look etc. They charged us and
supplied the units for me to install. It's all modular flat-pack
stuff.

However the units would take up more space than the size of the room.
i.e. They don't fit. Since they designed it and were given accurate
room dimensions then how could it not be their fault?

The only mistake I made is shopping at MFI. I won't make the same
mistake ever again.

Mark.
