Toy storage and a rather nice bargain if I do say so myself

Why would I buy this...

..when I could buy this (which is actually £15 cheaper in-store)?

Well you know the Delia effect on JS when she does a recipe ???

Hope we are not going to have a Mumsnet effect at Homebase on these...............

DH is going out to get one this p.m and if it is suitable another tomorrow.

hunkermunker · 30/12/2005 14:11

LOL at Delia effect!

Hope you like it, LGJ - they're not the most enormous storage drawers, but it's done amazing things for my living room floor

FairyTaleinNewYork · 30/12/2005 16:01

do i need to find my screwdriver or is it allen key?

Glitterygook · 30/12/2005 16:02

I want one - I'm down there tomorrow. Sad aren't I?

hunkermunker · 30/12/2005 16:38

DH put it together...think he used a screwdriver...was MNing with him in the background, so can't be sure! Just made appreciative noises when it was built!

GDG, not sad - I was very happy when I saw this - LOL!

I can't believe I'm actually desperate to go now - the thought that they might be sold out fills me with horror

hunkermunker · 30/12/2005 17:07

PMSL! You could always buy it online for £39.99 plus £4ish delivery charge...er...hope they're not sold out!

hunkermunker · 31/12/2005 19:03

Showed this to Dh and he reckons he is going to make one for ds's room.

Not holding my breath.

hunkermunker · 31/12/2005 19:40

MUCH easier to buy one Will probably work out cheaper too.

I know but he's got some nice pine that was going to be something else that never materialised and he keeps on saying he will do something with it. He even insisted on bringing it when we moved!

I just nod and smile through gritted teeth whilst hoping he doesn't actually get round to it. To be fair he built a fantastic bookcase with cupboards underneath in our last place, I'm just not sure it was worth all the mess and the swearing!

Believe me I would rather be skipping off to Homebase but I have to show support for his creative efforts .

Gillian76 · 08/01/2006 10:49

I have just bought one of these. Building it this afternoon along with DS's "big boy" bed!!

Those of you who have this - how are you finding it?

I've got mine - it looks great. I'm going to put it in the kitchen/family area of my new house! was really easy to build - I did it in half an hour while DS was watching. At the moment it is in the living room and I'm just throwing everythign on the floor in it every night... including dirty socks etc My house looks well tidy though. Thanks HM
