Seeking knock-box in Dublin.

Dero · 2008-09-23 11:32:12

Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone knows for sure whether anywhere in Dublin city centre sell knock-boxes. I'll be in town on Saturday and am hoping to get one as a present for my father. I rang BTs, but they put me through to the wrong person (only deals with Nespresso). She couldn't find the right person, so I have no idea…

Hi all.
I'm wondering if anyone knows for sure whether anywhere in Dublin city centre sell knock-boxes. I'll be in town on Saturday and am hoping to get one as a present for my father.

I rang BTs, but they put me through to the wrong person (only deals with Nespresso). She couldn't find the right person, so I have no idea if they actually stock them.

Thanks.

Edit:
I meant to say, I know they had these a year ago, so basically what I am asking is whether anyone knows if they still have them.

They were in BT the last time I was in, maybe 3 months ago. I'd say the keep a stock of them.

Try also the Bewleys outlet in Blackrock. They have them on the shelf.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Seems like the place in Clontarf is actually Nolans Hardware. I rang them today and they still have them there for €16.99, so I'll be paying them a visit tomorrow.

Seems BTs stopped doing them a while ago. The girl there said they have some Gaggia ones, but I think they're just the base with drawer type ones, which is not quite what I'm after.

Update.
I went to Nolans in Clontarf on Saturday and got two of these knock-boxes. €16.99 each - how could you go wrong?

Again, thanks for the help here, much appreciated. I would never in a million years have thought to try a hardware store in Clontarf for such a thing without the tip-off.
