i need a filing cabinet!

Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced wood effect filing cabinets?

I figured many of you will have been there before and will know someone.

They are all too flippin' expensive. Don't buy the cheapest as they don't last. Shop around.

That's all I can say! Don't have any particular recommendations but Bisley are a good brand, expensive, but worth it.

funny place we found one was garden centre they were selling office furniture cheap 15

As Monsoon says don't buy cheap. What about a second hand office supplier?

Monsoon

sometimes good quality second hand office furniture goes on ebay

That's an idea - I'll have a look.

It's for a home office so it needs to be a nice looking wooden type one. Definately go for quality over newness but all depends on the price.

But if I can have new and quality I'll go for that!

I have used furniture @ work. They have some cheap stuff on there which is rubbish but some of it is good quality.

I have used this one and it's about 4 years old http://www.furnitureatwork.co.uk/WebConnect/MainServlet?storeId=FaW&catalogId=webconnect&langId=en_GB&action=ProductDisplay&screenlabel=index&route=015280.015350.016678&skip=1&productId=14874

They are pretty heavy duty but it may be worth going for one a bit higher quality.

If you're storing client files in it you may want to consider a fireproof cabinet, sorry don't wish to alarm lol

LOL..... Thanks for the thought but the last time Iworked in an office with a fireproof filing cabinet they realised it was asbestos and the little men in the rubber suits has to come and take it away.......

@Ian: That looks like a useful link.....

@Monsoon: Doesn't seem much I liek on Ebay but worth keeping an eye on

ebay

Have you tried ebay? Office furniture seems to be ten a penny.

I agree that ebay is a good place fo good value, however, my first port of call is always the charity shops. You need to search and examine carefully but not only do you get some good stuff you are being socially responsible as well. It's still tax deductible as well.
