Handmade Wardrobes

Seamless Fit

• Premade wardrobes mass manufactured are less likely to fit seamlessly in a room. Unless the area intended for the wardrobe and the wardrobe itself are carefully measured inch by inch, the likelihood that the selected wardrobe will fit perfectly without gaps is slim. Handmade wardrobes, however, are created according to the exact measurements provided by the consumer. This ensures a seamless fit, without gaps or awkward angles, and is especially important for smaller rooms.

Custom Design

• Purchasing a mass-manufactured wardrobe means your wardrobe will look identical to thousands of others. While this isn't necessarily an issue, it doesn't allow the consumer to dictate what types of materials are used, or the exact design of the wardrobe. Choosing a handmade wardrobe allows a consumer not only to choose which materials are used in the making of the wardrobe, but also the drawer, cubbyhole and door placement. Handmade wardrobes also allow the consumer to decide exactly how the wardrobe will be shaped, which is beneficial for oddly shaped rooms or utilizing space.

Built to Last

• Because handmade wardrobes are carefully crafted with an eye for detail, they are made to last. As mentioned previously, consumers are able to choose which materials are used in the creation of the wardrobe. Mass-manufactured wardrobes may use flimsy, inexpensive ply-board in the construction of shelves and doors, which is less likely to last than thick cedarwood. Consumers may also dictate what type of paint is used, and if the material is treated with stain-resistant or moisture-resistant materials to prevent stains, mold or water damage.

Pricing

• It is true that handmade wardrobes are significantly more expensive than premade, mass-manufactured wardrobes. If you're unwilling to shell out a thousand or more dollars on storage space, a custom handmade wardrobe may not be for you. If you're worried about the pricing of handmade wardrobes compared to mass-manufactured wardrobes, consider that handmade wardrobes are designed by you, the consumer, and you have the right to decide how it is built, and with what materials. This will ensure that you're receiving a fitted unit with sturdy materials, so it's less likely you'll have to shell out more money, since it's less likely the wardrobe will malfunction down the road.
