    Went over to the Santry one over the w/e. Its kinda like a Ikea. Go in and see all the kitchens. Pick and mix what you want and then pop around to the w/house and pick up.

    Bought 1 * 4m oak worktop for 550 euros
    2 * 600 double carcases (oak finish)
    4 * 450 single carcases (oak finished)
    8 * Doors (pine) (pre cut for hindges) (there going to be painted)
    handles and other bits Kicker boards etc

    Total cost 1,800

    I was quoted for custome made of 3600 + delivery and fitting

    Hi angel_of_death

    That would be the width... As our alcoves are a different size I have to mix and match different sizes for each side.

    Each alcove will consist of a 1 * double and 2 * singles either side carcasses.
    So I’m looking to put 4 doors on either side. Just as a note the oak top is 4m and they don’t cut it so as I need about 188cm on one side and 167cm on the other side I just going to cut 2m on site so that I can transport.

    Just give them the dimensions of the Alcoves and they will advise on what you need. Also I got the impression that you might be able to negotiate the cost a little down or throw in a few extra such as the oil and steel wool screws and kicker boards etc

    Edits from website

    All carcasses’ use 18mm MFC with solid backing includes steel hinges and height adjustable unit legs.
    720mm x 570mm Deep

    I'm a bit confused as to the sizes for the wall units. At the top of the list they say 720mm x 300mm deep ... I assume the 720mm is the height, and then list a whole load of different sized units, which I assume is the width. After that they mention 575 x 500mm, 575 x 600mm, 900 x 300mm etc. ... what are these?

    I ask, because I hate the useless gap that you get here between the top of the wall unit and the ceiling. When I lived on the "continent" you pretty much always had wall units that went all the way up to the ceiling, but not here for some obscure reason (maybe less standardized ceiling heights?).

    Hi Alun

    I think when you look at the flat pack and you click sizes they give you all the sizes (its the same screen for any flat pack you select) you can purchase depending on you requirements and the gap you have to fill.

    I just gave them my measurements of what I wanted and the gap size and then they worked out what carcasses would fit the gap the best. Also what internal finish you wanted ie white or oak etc ....

    hi all, just finished the buit-in's,


    All the wood stuff was from www.in-house.ie, cost 1,800 took about 3 w/e to cut and fit and about 5 days to oil the oak top's and paint the doors.

    All in all not too bad and used the cut downs of the sides as the gap fillers as each side of the chimney was not the same size. Job done...

    regards
