Flat pack built-in wardrobes
The term “flat pack wardrobe” is often used as shorthand to describe a cheap wardrobe but the reality is almost every wardrobe starts its life in flat pack form.
Wardrobes are often floor to ceiling tall so they occupy a significant amount of volume. For example a 2.4metre by 1metre wardrobe could envelope almost 1.5 cubic metres of volume. If the same wardrobe is transported in flat pack form then it occupies a meer 0.07 cubic metre and can be handled by a single delivery person.
Painting and varnishing self built wardrobes
Wardrobes present a large area to paint so you need ways to minimise the task and make it efficient.
