Hi,
We have BIRs (large sliding door mirrored type) in each of our kids bedrooms. The storage organisation is really poor (e.g. no drawers, few shelves, etc) and makes it hard for the kids to keep their clothes tidy (that's an excuse anyway). We are happy to keep the doors as is and basically just want to gut the current interior and add some custom storage. I really have no idea where to start - not too worried about looks, but mostly want functionality. Are there custom made storage solutions that we can order and get someone handy to fit? Or perhaps ask a carpenter/cabinet maker to do something for us?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Paul

If they dont ask a joinery shop. Measure the width, height and depth then visit showrooms to see how theirs are designed and go from there Arfur 20 Jul 2013 1 NSW New Poster Re: Mirrored Wardrobe Refit 3Jul 20, 2013 6:34 pm Hi Paul I am looking to do exactly the same thing so it was good to see your post. I will get the usual quotes from carpenters etc as we already know a few from renovations we have done so far but another place to look is Stegbar. Their website has a page on wardrobes and I will definitely give them a call to see what they can do. Contestants on The Block used Stegbar for their wardrobe fit out. I'll let you know if I find anything else along the way. Thx.

Any home handman/person should have no problems installing it. Design wise follow their instructions carefully, and consider things like notching the back of the vertical blades and trimming the bottom of blades against the wall to allow for skirting boards if you are not comfortable removing them. Cost me about $1100 to do a 1.5x1.5m walk in robe, which had 3 hanging sections (two double 1 singe) and a combo bank of drawers and shelves. I picked up locally in Canberra so no delivery. I believe the whole concept of Cabinets on Demand is they are a group of several cabinet makers around the country so they have more offices than Canberra. The link below is to their wardrobe page. (They also do kitchen cabinets too) http://www.cabinetsondemand.com.au/cate ... 0028_1.htm I bought them from the local hardware store, which is an authorised supplier; however, I also picked up a few on eBay for less. $285 and $185 respectively.

But, adding a mirror is a good idea since it can help you get ready in the morning. 4 479 Anyone have one of these wardrobes behind bed?? If so how deep is your cabinetry & how wide is your walk way 0 0 |
