So far I've been to:

Focus,
Wickes,
Staples,
Homebase
and
B&Q

The wire cubes are increasingly elusive - anyone found a supply recently ?

How about CostCo, Poundstretcher, QD if you're in East Anglia (see https://www.qdstores.co.uk/index.asp for store locations), Robert May (online shop - (broken link removed)) and also Kleneze (they were on page 18 [order code 79502[ of their catalogue Kleeneze Plus [Edition 8[ - you order them via your local Kleneze rep - phone the Kleneze Head Office for details on 0870 333 6688).

Also someone was selling them on eBay. They're not on any longer but perhaps if you contact the seller direct, they'll be able to help you out (and this person was selling them pretty cheaply). Here's the page (broken link removed)

Good luck!

Hurray!

Got a Kleenze catelogue and found them still for sale there but better news is I manged to get over to QD Stores and bingo - 23 grids in a pack and each grid 36cm2!

Best thing is the price was reduced fro £9.99 to £2.99 in the Stevenage Store!

I got three packs! Hopefully that'll sort out a funky cage and a collapsable run for floor / mucking out time!

Thanks again!

Superb news - glad you're all sorted, and at a bargain price! You could buy up the rest, sell them on eBay and make a few quid whilst getting them to people who can't find them locally!

Pennick - some US stores will ship to the UK but the postage would be horrendous on such a big and heavy item.

Unfortunately, they have none left :( and I'm not sure the staff have much of a clue about anything - so couldn't find out if anymore are coming.

The downside to the cubes is they are heavy and postage would be very expensive!

Probably best give them a call to see if their in stock - they are called "6 cube starter kits" and have a picture of them being used being used in the bathroom.
