There’s tight tolerances, and then there’s tight tolerances. The client wanted the edges of the wardrobe carcase to be as close as possible to the sides of the alcove - it’s in a brand new loft extension in a Victorian terrace, and was as square an alcove a carpenter could hope for, so I designed it with a just few millimetres of clearance. It did fit - but barely. This made it a bugger to install, but it does look pretty.

It’s quite a deep alcove, so we decided to have shelves in the back of both wardrobes - good for storing things long-term behind the hanging clothes.

Two soft close drawers at the bottom round out the storage.

BUT DON’T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

"I really struggled to find a local carpenter that understood the aesthetic we wanted from our wardrobe, so I was very happy to discover we were just about in Seb's catchment area! Seb was very helpful and detail-oriented throughout the entire process, even offering advice and solutions to take advantage of some spare space we had at the back of the wardrobe."
