Cupboard prices

[scraggs]

I know this is a bit of a odd question for the cabinet makers on here, and I understand price will vary hugely on spec but I have been looking to buy 2 bedroom cupboards and am not really impressed by the mass produced crap out there that you could blow over, and it's that time in life where I can have better quality. So I wondered what sort of money would I be looking at very roughly for 2 wardrobes 1.8m high and 1.1m wide with two doors, ideally cream painted oak, or whatever you would suggest best, built by a proper cabinet maker.

Feel free to PM me if you want.

We just bought some from a company called furniture nation. Solid pine custom size free standing jobbies. They aren't the mass produced stuff you normally fing.

Might be worth contacting this organisation. It's a not for profit outfit and the quality of the oak furniture is excellent. And you might be doing a young person a favour! http://cameliabotnar.com/carpentry-department/

why would you want to paint oak?

 

such beautiful wood should be on show.

 

 

pm sent, give me a call and we can discuss.

If you employ a proper cabinet maker, stipulate the timber you like, don't get it painted... That's just for crap timber , cheaply made or vintage stuff {still crap.}that's been painted by an " I saw you coming" shop, designer craftsman or other conmen.

"Get out" ha ha

It wouldn't be the whole cabinet being painted, most likely only the doors.

We all have our own tastes , but if its just the light colour, you want high grade Canadian rock maples good , has a great lustre as well!

 

If you really want painted doors, ppppwwwaahhh , I wouldn't bother getting it made by a cabinet maker. The ones I used to work for would charge a few grand for a wardrobe...I learnt a a little bit from David Savage, Hes does some fine pieces, He would do you a good one, but would probably want £30.000...minimum.

 

Perhaps you know much cheaper cabinet makers? Either way good luck!
