This house has no built in pantry and the one from Bunnings (dunno the brand, white one that cost something like $150-200) is falling apart.
Does anyone know of something decent up to the $350 range or am I going to have to spend a load more?
Any Tips on an Affordable Pantry That Won't Fall Apart

Nah if it was Diji1, they would have blamed their pantry issue on all of us for voting Lib/Lab.
And it would be his cabinet not the pantry.
Depends on what space you have. A couple of free/Gumtree Billy bookcases might suffice.
You get what you pay for with those Bunnings cupboards.
A pantry made of trade-quality materials should last as long any other cabinet in the kitchen. If you're handy with a cordless, order a flatpack from somewhere like https://goflatpacks.com.au and assemble yourself. Just confirm with the manufacturer as to what brand of board they use for the carcase - you want Laminex or Polytec/Borg HMR substrate.
Price depends on the size and colour required, however for plain white, I expect it would fit within your $350 budget.
I want to put some pullout baskets for my pantry could you please provide a recommendation? Thanks.
Ah, sorry I wasn't clear, I'm looking for a standalone thing. Those are only for building it into a space right? Our current pantry is currently just kind of hanging out near the kitchen door since there's nowhere else to put it really.
I've just installed a pantry cupboard under my stairs.
I looked at Bunnings Kaboodle https://www.kaboodle.com.au/products/detail/900mm-pantry-cab…
and Ikea Metod https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/metod-high-cabinet-with-shelves…I went with the Ikea, only because, the Kaboodle didn't fit. The quality is about the same, except Kaboodle has a solid back whereas the Ikea is just thin hardboard.
Seems like they need to be installed into the wall which we can't do. :(
Try Amart if there's one near you.
They are very reasonably priced.
Their flatpac furniture is a little more expensive than Bunnings but much better quality, more solid and better finished.
They also give a discount when asked nicely. I received 15% off a flatpac wardrobe I purchased from them earlier this year.
Hm, their pantry is only $30 more than Bunnings' (which seems to be cheaper than we bought ours). Might be worth a go.
Damn, delivery only and it costs $50. :(
I confused you with @Diji1 for a second 😂 🤦♂️
