This came with a 25 year warranty, but unfortunately a few months after they were installed the company went bankrupt.
Since then the drawers have failed us badly, the rollers have become broken on two drawers and now one of the front panels have come off. I remember them saying the drawers were manufactured in Germany, and were put together by a cabinet maker in the Wairarapa.
I've tried fixing this with limited success. Has anyone had similar problems and does anyone know anyone who can fix these?
Hi all I have recently gave up smoking and instead of smoking I am trying to read books to help with cravings. I was wondering if anyone had any novels they could offer for free. If all else fails i will get a library card. I enjoy thriller, horror, mystery etc but would happily accept anything … View moreHi all I have recently gave up smoking and instead of smoking I am trying to read books to help with cravings.

In New Zealand, Kiwi IT developers are giving teaching a hi-tech upgrade with the creation of robotic maths tutor Amy - but even they admit robots will never replace the real thing. Nominations are now open for the Favourite Teacher Awards – tell us about the teacher who has inspired you or your children.

Aggressive driving. Not leaving a gap. Cutting in. A complainant says Porirua drivers aren't the most thoughtful when it comes to merging from the city onto SH1. But what do you think?

Peer Support Pilot Service
We have a great team of Peer Supporters. We are now are looking for people to take part in the pilot!
PeerZone is providing peer support for people with ‘a mental health condition’ who are on Supported Living Payment (previously the Invalid’s Benefit), and registered with the Naenae or Porirua Work and Income offices in the Wellington region.
Peer supporters have experienced a mental health condition and are trained to walk alongside others with a similar condition; they share experiences and support the person to achieve the life they want.
This is an exciting opportunity and places on the pilot are limited!
If you think you are eligible (or know someone who is) get in touch with PeerZone today!

But in reality Matthew has suffered from birth from a combination of autism and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
Despite these difficulties Matthew leads an interesting and productive life. During his time at Wellington High School he had been presented with the Huxford Award, a prestige award given to students who displayed excellence in the face of adversity.
Matthew was a participant in Plimmerton Rotary’s Best Speaker Awards competition in 2016. Competition Convenor and Club member Julie McLagan noted that on that occasion Matthew had been awarded a Certificate of Merit, which he took to show his teacher at Wellington High School. The teacher was so impressed that she arranged for Matthew to give his presentation again, to the entire school. He received a standing ovation.
Special Olympics was another field of interest for Matthew, who in 2012 represented Wellington in the Trans-Tasman competition, winning silver and gold medals in running events. He had taken part again in 2016, winning a gold and silver medal as well as two fourth placings.
Matthew explained to Rotary Club members that what he loved more than anything was to spend time with people he loved and to enjoy good food. Like many Italian families Matthew’s family enjoyed frequent large gatherings of relatives and friends, usually around the family dining table. Matthew had four older brothers as well as countless aunties, uncles and cousins.
Recently Matthew had been best man at his brother Chris’s wedding. This meant that Matthew had to give a speech during the wedding breakfast. “I think I did very well. My Mum and my Aunty both cried. I’m not sure whether it was because they were so proud of me, or because they’d drunk a lot of wine.” Matthew had also spoken at his Mother’s 60th birthday (with similar results!)
Another memorable occasion had been Matthew’s 21st birthday. “There were about 100 people there. I looked around and thought to myself how lucky I was that the people I cared about the most were all together in the same room, laughing a lot and enjoying each other’s company.”
In May 2017 Matthew participated in the Rotary Best Speaker Awards in Wellington for a second time. This time the competition featured twelve special young people. Matthew gave an excellent presentation and was adjudged runner-up. He would soon be flying with his family to Christchurch to represent the North Island in the national Best Speaker Awards competition.
