Howdens sell Schrieber carcasses + 'old' or discontinued doors from the Hygena and MFI ranges,the Schrieber carcass is recognised as being one of the better one's on the market,are always 'built' as opposed to flat pack, and are very robust.
Howdens will come around and do a design for you,and if none of the door,drawer fronts are what you are looking for,buy just the carcasses from Howden's,and buy door/drawer fronts elsewhere.Be warned though,it's the door's and drawer fronts where the money's at.

Ignore the 'Trade Only' banner on the home page,if you're interested,it's easy to set up an account

Howden used to be the exclusive supplier for MFI.

However, now that MFI are owned by a venture capitalist group my understanding is that they have (or will) ditched Howden and will import from overseas.
