If I had had similar priced quotes for a pro to do it (and not double the price of fittingly), I would have absolutely got a grown up in. @Tenderloin flatters me but it's no harder than any large IKEA stuff I've put together. In fact, some of the fixings are better thought out. The hardest bits were getting the top units lifted in place (I had to ask my neighbour to come in and help me with the last one as the wardrobes were as tall as the design tool would let me create), and then scribing the infill pieces around the outside. I did a shocking job of cutting those so I'm glad I'm handy with a skeleton gun and filler.
Took a long time to get it all done because A) I was doing it solo (manhandling 2.4m x 1m side panels and getting the fixings in place by myself was hairy) around work and parenting, B) I had to paint all the doors with a couple of coats of F&B eggshell and C) they sent one of the top cabinet doors without any pre-drilling (they sent another no questions asked but it took a few days to be made and sent out).
I will say though, that the end product in terms of size and appearance, is EXACTLY what I specced in the design tool (I really wanted to maximise the storage space as there's fuck all here for such a big house so I was cutting it fine between the two side walls and around the chimney breast, while also trying to keep a uniform width per unit - the two left hand units JUST fit into the laft hand alcove without having to chop into the skirting board). And the online support folks were super helpful during the whole process. They jumped in a few times and just fixed things on the fly in whatever design I was working on as they could obviously see right away which one it was. Eg. I was trying to add one of the top units and it just kept snapping to be stacked on one of the other top units instead of the wardrobe. A few seconds and a clumsy description of what I was trying to do and they sorted it. The delivery guy also carried everything up to the first floor. Which is no mean feat as they use minimal packaging (another bonus over IKEA) so it was hundreds of pieces. I could have paid I think another grand for them to put it together.
Last thing, if anyone does use them, the design tool works best on Chrome. Knowing that would have saved me a few frustrations early on.
