We have clothes coming out of our ears at the moment and cant really afford to buy a new solid pine one.
This would be ideal but does it really stay this neat looking etc?

We had the slightly larger one for DD and yes, it stayed tidy and clean looking.

I have a double one with hanging space and shelf space and have had it for about 4yrs and it is fine

Not unless you can be bothered to roll the curtain thingy down after using it. It looks neat and tidy in the pic cos there's hardly anything in it! If you fill it, it always looks a bit 'busy', unless you roll the door down. We had one in DD's room and it did the job but the clothes were bigtime visual clutter.

We always had the door down. Never bothered with the rolling bit, just threw it over top of wardrobe when putting things away and then down straight after.

My friend at uni has that.... along with alot of other stuff in that range from argos

she is now using them (heavily) for her 5th year and they seem to be serving fine.... they have been dismantled moved house and rebuilt at least 4 times as well

We've got two big ones and the shelving unit as well, and they're fine. Ours look messy though as we never remember to pull the front down.....hula's idea is great, but we have storage boxes on the top so can't do it.
