I have seen a wardrobe fitter who has carried out a fitted wardrobe installation for a friend which has been finished to a high standard. The price he paid for full height (2400), 8 cupboards, spanning 3.3M was £1450. The construction method used was pretty simple. Make boxes, stand them up...

Hey Neil, I'm not a kitchen fitted, just a hobbist diyer, I've made face frame wardrobes in the past and saw the finish of a frameless wardrobe at a friends house so wanted to give these a shot in my new house. I agree with you about the knowledge on this forum, so now agree that these guys...

OK i think i'll stick to using the countersink, pilot then drive home method...Maybe these guys need to save time and so use expensive screws so they dont need to pilot, but i'm not too bothered so will use normal cheaper screws. Are quicksilver screws good? Or should I go for spax of gold...

Hmmm...so you are saying they should have piloted? These guys install hundreds of wardrobes a year and the workmanship is of good quality.. The guys at this website say the following: "build the cabinets with screws. Still probably the quickest way since as soon as a screw is driven home it is...

Louise...I saw a pro fitted wardrobe team at work once, and they didn't do any pilot hole, they just screwed them straight through and the screw countersunk itself too..

Hi Pete, It would be simple butt joints. I'm just going to be making boxes out of 18mm mfc for wardrobes.. So face to edge? If that makes sense..?

So whats the ideal size in length to hold together 2 pieces of 18mm mfc?

Hi all, I'm soon to be making some fitted wardrobes out of 18mm MFC. What is the best screw to use, one that will drive straight in without pre-drilling? Also what size should I use? So head size as well as length.. Thanks

Thanks Chaps, Peter yup its a 3*3m room, but I prefer the traditional look of wardrobe doors, so prefered to avoid the sliding route. Cheers all. Off to sort the cutting list out.

Brilliant!! cheers Chippy, never thought of looking on ebay for a templete, nice one :)

Also whilst on the subject of wardrobes, whats the best way to attach the hinges? I’m going to be using standard concealed hinges, the kitchen types. Is there a knack/template to use when marking up the hinges? I’m going to go for 4 hinges on each door. I’m assuming I attach the hinges to the...

Thanks Chaps, I guess the reason I’m asking is that the wardrobe doors can only be 360mm wide in order for the doors to open and not hit the bed…The room is pretty small. It’s on a run of 3 meters so I’ve worked out to have roughly 60mm scribes on the sides and then 4 * 720mm wide double...

Thanks Eric, will do it in sketch up and see how it looks, good idea. Cheers bodge, think 150mm would suit a 2.5m height wardrobe, will draw in sketchup to make sure though.

I’m going to building some fitted wardrobes. The ceiling height is 2.5m. I’m planning on having a single doors, so NOT having it split up with a smaller door on top and the a larger one under it. What is the ideal size to have the top filler piece? I have seen other fitted wardrobes and it...
