Sorry. I forgot to say what it's for. It's for a cabinet that can either be hung on the wall or placed on the floor or another piece of furniture.

Typically for multiple choice surveys, it doesn't give any real choices (rubberwood for material, books for contents, rectangular for shape, other rooms, etc. etc) But for GCSE we'll forgive that. NEXT time you do a survey, you need to do another survey fiirst to find out


Best of luck with the course!

By the way, welcome to Mudcat, home of the awkward sods and argumentive souls who couldn't give a straight answer as per your form, even if we wanted to. We just can't help being 'helpful', just not in the way you were expecting.

Also , you might want to give some indication of how big this cabinet might be....

11. How big should it be?
Small ( A1 x B1 x C1) Medium ( A2 x B2 X C2 ) Large ( A3 x B3 x C3) Just too big to fit through standard doorway.
