    I have been quoted e600 for under-stairs storage by one of those companies who does this sort of thing. Do people think this is expensive? Do you think it is worth it. I am just thinking of now doing with our cupboard under the stairs where we just throw everything in - what do people think?

    I fitted a 1m ikea wardobe shelf on the bottom and a 0.5m shelf above, lots of storage, works perfect.

    Both came with the runners and were less than €30. I was going to put a front on them but they really didn't need it.

    Hi - did you ever uncover a solution ? 600 seems reasonable but I havent looked too hard as yet

    600 seems very cheap. Most solutions I saw were around twice that. I had a big cupboard and replaced with doors and drawers and it's a much better use of space. Can fit much more in it and all easily accessible. Well worth doing.

    Thats a real nice setup. How much did that set you back?

    That seems very reasonable, I got a quote of twice that for a storage unit - full length of stairs approx 3.5m. 5no. Vertical pullout drawers. Can you pm details of who quoted you please?
    Thanks
