Question for wardrobes, I have notice in the plans that the width of a wardrobe is 500. I had robes put in my home and the width is 620. I thought a standard robe has draws for 600. Did anyone change there depth of robs? I requested to have 600mm in the WIR. No charge from M. Fabulous thanks @Renman
