If you're looking for top quality and money's no object then you could try looking at the adverts in the Sunday Times style/living magazine? I used to boggle at the furniature in there - but never actually had enough money! lol

A good method with flatpack furniture is to use woodworkers PVA glue on all of the joints.Admittingly,you will never be able to disassemble the furniture,but it wont wobble!

Last year,i wanted a white & pine bedroom suite and Argos was the only people who sold it.I glued all the joints,draws etc on the cabinets,wardrobe etc and its steady as a rock.
