Where can I buy a nice drinks cabinet?

[HeadFairy]

I desperately need something with doors I can put our drinks in, it's currently on a lovely victorian drinks trolley, but ds keeps pulling all the bottles off. It needs to be a freestanding cabinet or small sideboard, only about 80cm wide to fit in a small gap. I found one on the Debenhams website but they have messed me about so much that it's now out of stock. I want to spend about £400. I've looked in lots of the usual places, Ikea, Heals, Habitat, M&S and now I'm struggling....

Try lots road auction house.

That's a good idea, I saw a lovely antique chest in the market along my road but it was a bit too wide. I'd love something a bit different, I was looking on the high street for sheer ease, but perhaps I need to get off my behind and find something a bit more unique.

ebay usually has a host of drinks cabinets, albeit retro or antique

OKA? Lombok? I am not posh enough to have a drinks' cabinet! Luckily I have a utility room as big as my kitchen - that is the drinks' cabinet!

i got a drinks cabinet from freecycle at the weekend - it looks like a bureau, has a lockable cabinet underneath and pulls out to have a mirrored shelf and space for two decanters and glasses etc. it had the original lemon knife, spoon, cocktail sticks etc (all with a little cockerel on the head) - it's absolutely lovely - it has an inscribed plate with 'wedding present for mr and mrs something on the occasion of their wedding, 1938.

i absolutely liove it to pieces and will try and get decanters/niceglasses etc from charity shops.

i know this doesn't help, but i like to boast (...)and it's a good example of what is out there if you have a fish about. good luck head fairy - have a good look, i'm sure you'll find something lovely!

Persephone - I am

Where are you based?

Sorry about the absemce... so much work to do at the moment! I'm based in South West London...

I love the sound of your one persephone, I might have to have a bit of a surf.

HF Great ideas thanks. We're not posh either but but ds keeps getting all our booze out and I think we'll get much disapproval if anyone comes round to our house to find ds grinning and holding a large bottle of Bacardi ! Luckily he hasn't worked out how to get the tops off yet, or I'd teach him how to mix a proper G&T

Look on ebay for an antique chiffonier

You can pick them up pretty cheap at the moment and they should increase in value eventually

this is fun look at pix!

that is quite nice countessdracula, sadly it's too wide, I've only got a teeny gap of about 80cms (90 at a push). I'll have a look around on ebay, can you believe it, I've never bought anything on ebay? I'm such and old luddite!

i asked where you are based because they have some lovely small retro colonial/travel style drinks cabinets in a store near here which i saw recently.
They have a rather limited website and the cabinets aren't on it

but perhaps you could mail for a brochure or something

a bit too far for me to go there, but I might see if they'll deliver to London and if they do I'll request a brochure. Thanks troutpout
