Where can I get a cheap tack cabinet or safe?

[Jane H]

Does anyone knw where to get a cheap tack cabinet? The cheapest I can find online is at Amira Equi, but the description says it is £150 including VAT, but actually when you go to the checkout it adds VAT, and £22 for delivery, which makes it over £200. I actually don't need to keep the tack secure as the room is already secure, I just want to keep everything together and clean... Unfortunately neither me or hubby are handy, so can't knock one up from a couple of pieces of MDF

Thanks!

How about an old chest freezer for your rugs and things? Argos have some good shelving ideas too; I've just bought (and built so anyone can do it!) a tallish shoe cupboard with a full width mirror on the door, it's 'officially' a shoe cupboard but I've used less shelves and it's in the bathroom so all the bottles are hidden away, ideal for that but it's a bit of a shock when you come out of the shower to be greeted by a flabby body in front of you!!)

I used to use an old wardrobe, which had a pole inside for my saddle to go on. I then used another old wardrobe laid flat to store my rugs, hats etc.
Unfortunately neither fitted in my new tackroom, so I'm using a wheely bin, which isn't quite as easy to find things quickly

Try a filing cabinet, they often crop up in the free ads papers and sometimes are free if you collect them!! If you are really lucky you can find them with keys!
