hunt for filing cabinet...

Postby Ulli » Thu Jan 26, 2006 2:32 pm

Hi,

OK so I have been on the hunt for a filing cabinet for a while. You know, the standard 4 drawer metal type cabinet and so far no luck :cry:

I did actually find one place in Antequera who sells them but wanted €260 + IVA for something that looked like it belonged in the 70's.

Anywhere from Antequera - Malaga - Fuengirola - Marbella and I can reach the place.

I have found a couple of Malaga places on the web but I simply can't find them on a map :oops: so was kind of hoping for a place which was easy to get to :oops: I am quite happy to buy a second hand one, just need a place for lots of papers etc.

I Thank you for any help at all and so does my study and heaped desk :lol:

Cheers
Ulli

There is an office equipment shop on the roundabout opposite las chapas petrol station center malaga...if you know where trafico is or the British consulate..cross over the bridge... puente de las americas..and keep straight on down Ing. de la Torre Acosta till you reach the roundabout las chapas... or from the Carlos haya hospital down tha avenida till roundabout...dont know what the prices are though...and I´m sure ive seen them in the hypermarkets too.

carrafour have them, and the second hand shop in alhaurin el grande had a wooden one in the other day, same "style" as a metal one, a wooden unit, but metal "runners" on the inside. i think it was 50€

Forget any cheap crap, get a good one that will last for years and buy it from a reputable office supplies shop like ofiplus in marbella or san pedro

Thank you all for your help.
I also thought that Carrefour had them but when I looked I couldn't find one :cry: , only small ones.

The reason I asked about second hand ones is that I am willing to lower quality if it means I don't have to spend €260 + IVA :oops:

Thanks again, I am out on the hunt today and will bring your suggestions with me :)
