looking for wire basket drawers for wardrobe

[Tim Mitchell]

Anyone know a place to buy wire basket drawers to keep your undies in in the wardrobe?

woodfit.co.uk is the only one I can find, but they are 500mm wide and I am looking for narrower ones if they exist.

We got some from H*m*b*s* but that was years ago and they were expensive.

You could make your own ... :-)

Does "Homebase" constitute swearing in these parts now, or I have I missed something?

[Mathew J. Newton]

I'd try all the usual sheds - and I seem to recall seeing something along the lines of what you're describing at Ikea..?

[David P]

The Ikea ones fit inside a 50mm carcase, or 100mm carcase (minus the

18mm each side)

I presume you mean 500mm or 1000mm (as 50mm, minus 2x18mm, is quite narrow). My problem with Ikea is it's a 2 hour round trip from here, with no way to check if they actually have what you want in stock.

I've looked in all the sheds but none of them seem to do anything like that - probably not trendy at the moment.

I bought some in a "shed" in Newtown Mid Wales, I can't remember the orig name but it changed to Focus soon afterwards. They were a Swedish make the ones I bought went down to 300mm width. Tom Ahh I remember now!!!! They were called Elfa drawer systems. Hope this helps

[Mathew J. Newton]

Their website allows real-time stock checking although admittedly I wouldn't trust it if it listed only a couple of items remaining.

[Mary Fisher]

I don't know about your parts ...

I wouldn't trust it anyway - we were after a mirror for ages that twice was reported to be in stock on their website, and once by a human on the phone. All three times it wasn't in stock. It became apparent that nobody had the know-how or inclination to change the stock level in the system - so assuming that they have an automated ordering system, the system never bothered ordering any more as it thought they already had loads.

In the end they gave us some petrol money for our trouble and we ended up getting in some faraway store the we randomly passed outside Birmingham one evening on the way back from a trip down south.

[Mary Fisher]

I think you probably have something there ... :-)

Probably Elfa, which they no longer stock, in fact hardly anyone sells it now apart from the Elfa website or . Very expensive but good quality.

[David P]

Um, yes...guess I did mean 500mm and 1000mm!

Ikea is just up the road to me...so send ME the cash and I'll get them for you next time I am there - lol!

[Mary Fisher]

I think you're right.

actual stock level, only what the computer thinks they should have. I've had several fruitless trips to Ikea because of this.
