Flat pack cupboards where to get them?
Where is the cheapest place in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs to get flat pack cupboards?

Dunno about cheapest Phil but Bunnings can do them through special orders.

I'd say they go hand in hand.

From what I can see Flynn the Bunnings are white melamine, and Ikea offer a better finish and the price is higher also. BTW why I am looking is for a set of cheap cupboards for the workshop too lazy to build them more important things to do (building boxes ect..). It looks like I can get what I want(1 x 900mm floor unit, 1 x 450mm floor unit and 3 x 900mm wall units) for about $500.00 which seems cheap enough when I cost my time which I have very little of.Thanks every onePhil Originally Posted by Flynn

Hi All,
Flat pack doors - If you know your dimensions, get them straight from Laminex. Depending on your choice, they can be a low as $30 per door. Call 132136 or order from your local Melbourne Call centre. I think the plant is somethere in Vic.
I have Contour Doors in Fossil Laminate with rolled edged and it looks a million bucks (for a home reno)

As far as I know Ikea's cupboards are non standard sizes so be careful if your extending your kitchen. Laminex also produce LamiKits ph. 132 136

There's a mob in Moorabbin, Armstrongs (http://www.armstrongs.com.au), who I saw at the home show, their cabinets seem pretty well made (better than their web site, at least!).
Cheers,
Anthony
