Ikea type office furniture in Cork

BailMeOut

I need some basic flat pack office book shelves to hold box files. Ikea have exactly what I need but do not fancy driving up and down for them. I know I can get delivered but was hoping to just pick up some locally. Went to usual furniture shops in Cork and no luck. Anyone any ideas? Something like the photo below is all I need. Who sells cheap stuff like this in Cork?

Bought something very similar in woodies two or three years ago.

Thank you. Argos do not have what I need and I did check Woodies and they only have white ones. I need something in a dark wood colour.

Looks like I am driving to Dublin!

I used that same service, really nice lads. Phoned me from Ikea to tell me some items were not available in the colour I wanted, and if I wanted them in some other colour.

idelivery.ie is absolutely top-class, very professional. Cannot really recommend it enough.

What kind of rate do they charge for the service?

It varies depending on order. I got something like 400€ worth of furniture for 50 € delivery. Just send them your ikea shopping list and they email back the price.

My delivery arrived last night. Excellent service and way cheaper than driving up and down myself. Highly recommended.

I don't have an exact shopping list but emailed them (iDelivery) off an approximate list costing €600-700. They said €120-150 depending on the exact order. It's a bit steeper than I thought it'd be but taking into account I'd spend €60 on the drive up and down in diesel... and the 8-9 hours or so it'd take to drive up, shop, eat, drive down... it's still pretty good.

do not forget about all the money it will save you on impulse buying walking around Ikea!

Ha! That's at least another €100 right there
