Hi all i was bidding on a 1800s cabinet today but sadly missed out buy £10  I can’t find anything else here or there for the price I was going to spend. ive read today a lot of you recommended paradox cabinets/drawers? What’s the average cost of these and can I see any of yours? There’s no actual photos of these cabinets apart from on there site. any help would be appreciated loving the forum, been a good day today joining up  |

Hi. I got 4, 10 drawer cabinets from Paradox. I think the quality overall is very good. It has been mentioned earlier that the lid of some drawers can be alittle too tight sometimes, which i have also encountered. The plus side about this i guess, is that it will prohibit pest from entering even better. Another thing i can mention is that i bought 1 cabinet at a time within a 5 year period and i always ordered the "meranthi" type wood. Allthough i ordered all in the same wood type they are still different in color nuances. Some cabinets are lighter redish brown, while others are much darker. Even the drawers themselves within one cabinet differs in color nuances.
I dont have any pictures at hand right now. Maybe i can get a picture later today, in that case i will upload it here.

Thanks for the help, please if you could get a photo I'd really like that. Where are you based? |

Here's a picture of my cabinets. I was actually remembering wrong about the cabinet color though as the cabinet frame itself seems to be the same color on all 4. But as u can see the drawers have very different color nuances even though they are all supposed to be the meranthi type. I want to point out that i mixed the drawer colors on purpose because i thought it would look cool, but after i while i kinda regret doing it. Now i cant be bothered to reorganize all the drawers over again.  |

So i dont rly know how the postage is, as i never paid any postage  |

I got one large cabinet and a smaller cabinet. The large cabinet was brought to me by the owner of the company himself. I was living in South Germany at that time and he was on his way to Switzerland to furnish one of the larger museums. Many museums in Europe have become customers with Paradox Company which speaks for their quality and the good price. In any case, I assume you live in the UK. It should still be possible to find an affordable trucking company that can handle the delivery (I assume something around $100, but don't nail me down on that number). I also had a smaller cabinet that was shipped by trucking company to Luxembourg. I particularly liked the open face of the smaller black cabinet. Many color combinations are possible. I always went for very dark cabinet and light drawers.

The black cabinet with light drawers is very chic euro style. Looks great.
