i build my own viv's, its easier than you would think. My newest one is the size of a very large, very deep wardrobe. it lookspretty awesome even if i do say so myself. When it comes to cost, buying a viv no matter where its from its still gonna be 5 times more expensive than building it yourself!!!

I'm sorry to say i don't think much of vivbuilder. The guy i spoke to a few times seemed really nice, but the flat pack viv i got was complete rubbish.
-prices- expensive. You can get their own product, that they build for £30 cheaper from other sites. At least twice the cost of building you're own. -delivery- They seemed in no rush at all. I ended up getting the wrong sized viv sent which added to the wait. -build quality- custom made stuff i imagine would turn out very nice, but i strongly advise you collect it. The flat pack i got was rubbish. It didn't even come with instructions or advice. I actually ended up causing deformities in the flimsy wood just by screwing the screws in a bit tight. I think a lot of damage was caused by the delivery service, but there is a nice "do not sign for if damaged" label (or to that effect) that you don't see until you get a look at it and the postman has gone, you certainly don't get to see if it is damaged. When i finally finished building it it was wobbley as hell. All you recieve for your money is the wood cut to size, the glass cut to size, the runners stuck down and the nails and screws. You can get that from a few phone calls for half the cost, most likely resulting in a more sound viv. |

Thanks for that Lala, you've just put me off spending in the region of £500. I'll look elsewhere. Might have a go at my own!
