Hi, I thought Ikea were quite good with the disabled in general,
particularly the blind. At my local Ikea in Nottinghamshire (I actually
live
in Derbyshire), their restaurant has Braille menus, and, supposedly,
they'll
keep an eye on you, but on one occasion they didn't and my ex-guardian
requested a complaints form. Anyway just some comments.

Speaks volumes that LOL
We actually got the Ikea catalogue and asked them if we could order over
the
phone as we couldn't get there and as I was blind they let us which was
really good of them.

For what its worth, I often get someone to go with me to IKEA because
you can put together pretty well what you want.
My sister's working part-time for B&Q and states very defintely she
wouldn't buy anything from them. (Don't try asking any of the staff
where things are; it's not part of their training, and they're as
clueless as the rest of us!
Cheers,
From Ray

I wanted to try that but couldn't find anyone who could do it with
some
cupboards we wanted in the office part of our lounge, ended up buying
a
computer desk and a double and single wardrobe from Ikea with extra
shelving, looks quite nice now.
As for my actual wardrobes in my bedroom, got them from B and Q,
they're
quite nice ubt I'll never order furniture from them again, it was a
total
nightmare and went on for months. It was that bad I ended up getting
compensation.

I got a carpenter/joiner in and had mine made to my own design.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Subject: [access-uk] OT buying a wardrobe
hi,
this is going to sound weird but i thought i may as well ask. I
wanted to
buy a wardrobe but they all seem to be pretty much standard size.
what i
wanted is a wardrobe with 2 or 3 shelves or drawers underneath,
then the
clothes hanging space in the middle and a shelf on the top. it also
has
to
be premade so i don't have to assemble it myself. and also it has
to be
64
cm length by 64 cm wide or as close to that as possible. i would
also
want
it to be reasonably sturdy. does any one have any ideas, i know
it's a
tricky one.
thanks, Husna
