Around here, they insist on charging an extra tenner for delivery and some of their second hand stuff is more expensive than it can be bought new.
Adrian Caspersz laid this down on his screen :
No climbing kids anymore and it is very heavy, very stable, H to D is around 1/3 anyway.
Max Demian formulated the question :
I didn't ask where they came from, I was a bit miffed at her ordering without consulting first. The sideboard seems to be a Corona one and several places sell them. Must say it has turned out well though, I wasn't expecting flat pack to look this good.
The screws and other fixings were marked A to Z, which made that part easy, just cut the letter out and pour them into a dish, with the letter - but the wooden parts, oh dear.
This wasn't a wardrobe, just a sideboard. I built the built in wardrobe
30+ years ago. It is 2.5m tall and 4m long. It was intended to replace the two tiny wardrobes in two rooms, that my previous partner had. Did she kick and scream when I disposed of them, after replacing them with something 5 times as big. It didn't take her long to fill it though :-)
sometimes happens with any charity where helpers don't know modern pricing

That won't stop her.
She'll just put ornaments in it instead of shoes.

I took a wardrobe (well hall cupboard) and kitted it out with 6-7 shelves. These are now full. So I added 6 shelves on slot rail next to the cupboard. These are now full.
How TF to the japanese do it?

That pretty much sums up my own life too, constantly adding places to put things. I'm as bad though, keeping anything which might be useful some day - but I try to restrict myself to my personal spaces like the garage, workshop and second indoor workshop.
That's why I'm still white van man.

I didn't have too much trouble with the Corona merchant's chest. That has NINE drawers!
I agree the parts aren't marked, but you can usually match them up with the diagram. There are always subtle differences. And I used old Chinese takeaway containers instead of dishes!
With no instructions as to how to attach the strap to the sideboard and wall???
I generally use muffin tins for small parts (as I did as a kid, when building HeathKits).
