Bedroom Wardrobes & Chests

Roomy Swedish Drawers (But not easy to pull open)

Advantages: Excellent spacious storage
Disadvantages: Sharp corners and edges, and not so ergonomically pleasing to open.

The Ikea Malm set of three drawers have a design that is simple and minimal. The unit I purchased had an oak veneer finish. They are also available in white, pink, birch veneer, black brown and medium brown finishes. There is much to choose from in the Malm range. There are two drawer and six drawer chests available as well as beds, dressing tables and other forms of storage. So it's possible to pick and match a number of furnishings. The oak veneer ...
...the spot-lights of my local IKEA store than they do in my bedroom and after having the chest of drawers for just over 12 months I have to say it is a little on the boring side. There is also one feature of the design that I dislike a lot: the edges of the drawers and the top of the chest are really sharp, especially at the corners. When my baby nephew comes round to the house, the top of his head is now almost at the height of the top drawer and ...

Review of Ikea MALM 3 Drawer Chest

Easy to Build, Easy to Use

Advantages: Cheap initial outlay, looks nice, easy to construct
Disadvantages: Fine for lightweight items but not particularly durable for heavyweight items

...daughter’s chest of drawers, but IKEA came up trumps with the Kullen range, and I certainly couldn’t find anything to beat the £25 price tag. Description The chest is 72 centimetres tall and 70 centimetres wide with a depth of 40 centimetres. This was slightly taller than the old chest but was a perfect fit in every other way. The drawers have no handles, just an angled top rim which you pull to open. The set is made from birch veneer and be ...
...pictures, in that money saving IKEA way meaning they can ship the same box all over the world with the same instruction manual and no need for translations. I was taught how to put flat packed furniture together by my father when I was in my teens and the most important lesson he taught me was to read the instructions before starting, and to ensure you have the right tools too. All that is required to construct the Kullen chest is a flat screwdriver, ...

Review of Retford Pine County Kerry Wardrobe

Couldn't even get a quote!!!

Advantages: designer come to house
Disadvantages: couldn't even get a quote

After having put up with many flat pack furniture I thought I would teat myself to a 'professional fitted' bedroom. I called both Sharps and Hammonds (I'll write another review on Hammonds later). The appointment was made and the designer duly came as promised. After the initial slagging off Hammond's, he then got to business and started to measure up the area and made some good suggestions and started drawing his plans (of course Hammond computer ...
...to listen to my concerns and he seemed to answer my questions honestly. He the told me that it would take a couple of days, he came on a Tuesday so he told me that I would definitely get it by Friday. A week later I still hadn't received the quote so I rang him myself. His phone rang then went on to answer phone so I left a message, hoping he would get back to me that day. He did not, so the next day I rang him and the same happened, so this time ...
