Got these fitted over the last couple of days. had a bit of a problem with the robes as the ceiling swept up at one point more than I had allowed on the filler strip. :oops: I will have to make a new filler strip and return to fit it along with the cornice. I will have to then fit the handles as the wrong ones were sent. ::b
Anyway here are the photos so far.

I managed to get the drawer units fitted with a bit more luck but even this gave me a headache as one of the drawer runners broke as soon as the box was fitted! ::b As soon as the box was slid in one of the small plastic tabs broke off for the soft close! :roll: It still works well but without soft close now. ::b I shall have to order another set or maybe even complain a bit and see what happens. Here are the photos of these in place and these were the correct handles....luckily. :thumbleft: Ignore the screw holes in the architrave as they might be coming off again to accommodate a slide out shoe rack next to the drawers. (More work for me) :thumbleft:

That is a good way of utilising some awkwardly shaped space :thumbright:

The drawers are a good idea as this space is often just wasted!

I got these finished today as the door knobs turned up. I fitted the trim strip and the cornice and the customer was very happy with them.

I also added a small trim strip to the bottom of the drawers to cover a gap and filled the screw holes.
