Built-in/fitted wardrobes needed, Galway

havent posted in woodcraft for a while smiling at all the comments here and just had to throw my bit in.
Ikea liking searching for gold: youll go through a lot of **** to find a nugget.
its cheap and cheerful, their kitchens arent always the easiest fitted but mainly due to the fact the ejit selling it hasnt got an idea how the fitter puts it together or whether they have to make numerous call backs to fit pieces that didnt arrive in the first delivery.
Cash and carry are grand. ok quality and usually a more informed sales rep. little things like grain direction and returns are my only usual quibble.
kitchen and wardrobe workshops tend to put in that little bit extra that give a more overall pleasing look when finished.
Bespoke once off furniture. This where you get your quality. something that is made precisely to fit into a set area, taking in all aspects of the surrounding area making sure that there is a balnce with everything around. designed and built without limitations such as door size shelving layout or whether you want a row of adjustable shelves the whole way or not. will ikea allow for a buddha statue or some other random object stuck in some obscure part of the unit. The only limitation is the designers imagination.

Now to cut through all the last option is by far the superior, however also the most costly. there is a serious amount of machines and tooling needed and setup times and machining off standard pieces will always incurr high costs but usually similar levels of satisfaction in both the customer and tradesman.

The earlier options can look well and often do. but to anyone who knows what real bespoke items are these just dont come into comparison. Nobody is charging massive money anymore, some people just dont have the comprehension or apreciation to value true craftsmanship.

ive worked with allforms and find that they all have a place in the market, its just that everyone looks for different things in a piece of furniture, some pure functionality (whether that be only for a short period) some pure design and some going into the exact detail of how every part is put together, so that your constantly question how it was made.

now sorry for the long post but i can see how everyone is getting jibbed by all the different comments and would ra ther see a balance,.
However this N that, i really do believe you are either completly misinformed to the price of materials or time it takes to make a proper wardrobe or you should just stick to doing this and that.

Ikea is all over the Europe and still people are choosing professional companies to do the jobs and it's not only about the wardrobes but loads of products U can get there. The truth is that if U all will choose Ikea or similar U will get a cheap quality product which is only pretending a fitted wardrobe, custom made bedroom etc. and kill local brands selling proper products. Mass production is killing real professionals with a years of experience- yes they are more expensive as they are not selling 100 items a day- their products has to be good quality and the job has to be done perfect as they wont survive a day on the market. Big shops doesn't care about all of these details and they are paying funny money for their products- it has to be loads and cheap and that's what U getting for your money- U save? No! U still paying much more money for these products than it is worth. They making much more more by selling cheap stuff than the proper professional for they products and job. So choice is yours cheat yourself and buy cheap stuff and "save" or do it as it suppose to be done and choose your local supplier as easy as that.

Oh and just easier way to explain this- it's like buying chines BMW- it's only pretending original car.
