Gentlemen (and Ladies) Thinking hats on please for a long low sideboard

[stevieboy11]

Hi

Having real difficulties with my budget. I posted here a month or two back about a long low Italian sideboard - my wife has picked one, but I'm not paying the £5200 that the salesman with the mask and the black horse wanted.

the one picked is high gloss, glass top, in three sections - drop down doors on the outside units, two drawers in the middle - I've attached a pic which hopefully you can see. this unit is 3.6m wide, approx 60cm tall and 60 cm deep. oh, and the one she wants is a cream / stone colour

this is what we want, but ideally at no more than £2500 delivered and installed - can anybody suggest an alternative?

I appreciate your help as always

£5200, does that include a 60" plasma TV?

Shorley Ikea would be a good place to look for that kinda thing on a budget.

Try boconcept.co.uk, they also have a few stores - Bournemouth & Tottenham Court Road I've been to

The website and catalogue have some similar designs - you can also get customised designs

thanks for the advice - i'm getting a dead page on the link - am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

update - the link works fine, the site must have been busy - have to say the products look great and we'll find something here for the budget no problem - thoroughly recommended, thanks!

I too saw a lot of stuff in dwell that I liked hte look of. When I actually went to the stroe the untis looked a lot cheaper than they did, and the draws and stuff didnt look as if theyd last 5 mins...

Lac shelf from IKEA, I like the oak one, tip it on its side and its a long narrow shelf type unit. Pop on some legs ofrm the bed department (about 4" oak) and it look a million dollars.

VERY well built will take anything as the wood is 5cm thick.

Hahaha, nice thinking outside the box, but I don't think that kind of idea will get pass the wife acceptance test. I want to thank you guys too for the links as I too am looking for such a cabinet.

PS. I was looking at a custom bedroom place and they had a similar unit on display - fitted with a wall unit at head height too. So it might be worth you checking out your local fitted bedroom design place.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys

Having seen BoConcept I can report that the range is great, very modern, but they don't do the finish I want (Like a stone colour), they're self assembly and not built to the same standard as the B&B Italia stuff (but then again, one third of the price)

I'll try the bedroom route as well

keep the suggestions coming!
