Built chest. I like assembling things. It's fine for €29 but by god if I paid more I'd be pissed off. It's certainly worth nowhere near €110 or whatever it is.

I'm happy with my €29 chest of drawers but it's only average. Frankly ikea stuff is better.

Having bought a couch, wardrobe and lockers from Argos I wouldn't buy furniture in Argos ever again

I havent collected mine yet. Do people really think this wasnt worth the €29? If not, I might just leave it.

I've bought from Homebase being the same company and the quality of the solid oak was excellent. Then again you can view the furniture in a Homebase store before ordering.

Hit and miss I guess. I have had some luck with their stuff. I have a corner TV stand for a good few years that was holding a larger TV than the recommended for the entire time and only replaced recently as it was starting to slightly bow and there was not enough room for my AV reciever vents anymore. Also had a desk of theirs all through college

But would agree with the consensus that Ikea stuff is better.

It is 22.98 not €29. Definitely worth it though. Certainly not worth the original 229.80 though nor the 111 new price.

Any ilac people collected the chest of drawers? I intend on going in tomorrow but would like to be sure they're there.

I've rang this morning- they said they're not coming back in.
I'm not sure what to make of this (given the reservation etc).
Its a bit of a bitch for me to drive in- I'm in Celbridge- I'd rather not go in unless I knew they were there.

If anyone can confirm what the story is with the Ilac Centre- I'd be really grateful.

Thanks!

Considering they are taking a loss on all the reservations it is possible they just cancelled any pending shipment.

Ilac Centre update.......

1 physically in stock
All orders for the drawers have been cancelled on the system- when you go to the pay and collect terminals- the order isn't recognised. On querying at the customer service desk- the manager was called- The Manager is willing to sell the single one in stock @ 111- under no circumstances will he discount it to the 22.97.

Oh- the phone number for the Ilac branch (which isn't on either their website- or in the phone book)- is 01-8147061

I took a chance on these yesterday, and I'm in the process of disassembling them today to return them. Terrible items - there's no laminate (read 'paper-thin layer) on the bottom edge of the drawer fronts and I've already scratched my hand twice on the rough surface underneath. Avoid at all costs!

Yep +1

Had a reservation for the chest of drawers was to collect by tmw in waterford , the store just rang me to say the price is wrong and they have cancelled my reservation ... I am not happy !

Just back from Ilac, wish I'd seen the above post first and saved my time. Monday I was told by a manager they'd be there Tuesday, then on Tuesday morning I was told come back the evening. Came back and was told definitely today.

Just been told now all those orders were cancelled because of the incorrect price. Told her it was my fourth visit, after organising somebody to drive up each time and was told sorry they're cancelled with not much as an apology. I left highly annoyed, needed to pick up something else but left it as I'd rather not give them my business.

If I was told no chance on Monday I'd be fine, but the fact I've been sent around in a circle for three days wasting time and money on petrol has me furious. Think I'll leave them a complaint for wasting my time.

pleasant Co.

Ah well, it's not the end of the world.

did you not wait for the text to your phone? Argos have been great for fulfilling prices over the last few months. They obviously just don't have much stock of these. Its a massive price error to be fair. i wouldn't have expected them to honour it.

I'd imagine so but I'd still like to do it anyway on the off chance that it did get back to somebody. The manager took my phone off me on Monday and had a look at the reservation and all, nothing was said to me.

Would the box need to be unopened to return it like that? And what if the people who sold it to you are on the til again lol, they'd probably remember

"*If you don't have your receipt, as long as you have proof of purchase, we'll exchange the item or give you a refund with vouchers. "

Has anyone returned something without a receipt OR proof of purchase?
