Everything you need to know about finding a Wardrobe Supplier

Wardrobes are an essential element of any bedroom, given that storage is one of the primary requirements of any home. This is especially true for families and those who have large collections of clothing, shoes etc.

The most important aspects of any wardrobe are functionality and versatility. Customisable space is especially useful, where you can alter the space available for different elements. Drawers should ideally have inserts to allow for small items to be sorted logically. Pull out racks are also useful for items such as trousers and dresses.

Choosing a Wardrobe Supplier

Like any other supplier, wardrobe suppliers differ in quality when it comes to product range and service. It’s a good idea to do your homework and choose the right supplier first time round. To help you make the choice, here are a few, easy to follow tips:

• Purchase from a supplier that has open showrooms that allow you to personally inspect all wardrobes on offer.

• Check the quality of the wardrobes. Good quality wardrobe doors are thicker than 25mm, which gives durability and protects from early deterioration.

• Check if the doors are made on-site by your supplier or ordered in. Wardrobe doors made on-site can be installed immediately, whilst ordered-in doors may leave you with an incomplete wardrobe for a set period of time, allowing for mess and dust to settle in.
  
  
• Cross-check qualifications and licensing of Supplier staff. The Office of Fair Trading will only issue a license to suppliers if they have met certain criteria.
  
  
• Ask for a legally binding contract to that covers all purchases made and services rendered. Suppliers are obligated to offer you this under the Office of Fair Trading’s regulations. This will insure you at a later date should any of the supplies or designs prove faulty.
