Hi all, We have a very large (2m x 2m) "wardrobe" that we use in our entrance way for storage. We inherited with the house because the previous owner couldn't get rid of it. I am going to show my ignorance here - I can see on the inside that it is made of a reddish wood, but the outside has a...

Hi, Trying to put together a ladder shelf and drawers but the small plastic level that detaches the drawer isn’t working. I push it down as the instructions note but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Im sure this is human error so please do let me know what I’m doing wrong? thanks Tom

I recently bought an Edwardian cabinet to put upstairs. I measured the doors, space for it to go into thought it'd work so bought it... but hit a snag on getting it around the first of 2 corners (and that's the easier corner). Is there any advice on what to do? The unit is beautiful workmanship...

I have a 70s sideboard that I want to use a TV cabinet. The back is currently plywood, but I'm thinking if I take the staples out holding it in place, I could then replace the back with pegboard and hide of the cables and guff at the back in a flexible modular way. I need to add a bit of...
