Shelves.....help!

Ok...so maybe I am a bit sad but I am in need of shelves...plain ones like the ones for Ikea.

I have been everywhere in Doha, well the usual suspects such as Home Centre, The One, Homes R Us etc...but nothing!

Is anyone making a trip to Ikea in UAE soon and would like to share a shipment back here...or has anyone got some for sale. They are for my kids room so need to be pretty sturdy and freestanding (bookcase style).

Send me a PM or reply here, many thanks!

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions...I think the Carpenters market seems a good bet.

Lack of shelving/closet/storage space seems to be pandemic in the middle east. In our quest for shelves for my book collection, we tried the usual suspects and also came up empty.

Then we discovered something that helped. There is in Najma, a place referred to as the carpenters market. We had shelves custom made to our specs, and delivered for cheaper than IKEA shelves (and much sturdier too).

Give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Good luck to you.

Stay safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?

Get yourself down to the furniture souk!

Very big choice, prices very cheap, quality perfectly OK, and they'll deliver.

Hope this helps.

What kinda shelves are you talking about? Home Centre has the plain shelf (like a plank of wood) kinda like what IKEA has as well... or even try Carrefour, they have it as well in Black and another colour...
