REL Wardrobe 54 cm, one door and two drawers, white

REL Wardrobe 54 cm – tall and narrow, a door and two drawers

A shelved clothes wardrobe just 54 cm wide and 218.5 cm tall. The proportion is chosen for a room with almost no free wall: it uses height rather than width and fits the pier between a window and a door.

Behind the hinged door are five shelves running the full height, an open niche below the door and two pull-out drawers at the bottom. There is no hanging rail: clothes are stored folded, which at 40 cm deep is more honest than a short row of hangers. The front is framed and the knob handle is brushed gold – the same hardware as the desk, chest and dressing table of the REL collection.

Who it suits

A small bedroom or studio where a large wardrobe simply will not go. A child's or teenager's room, as a second wardrobe. A rented flat: the white finish needs no matching to the rest. Anyone building a REL bedroom: the wardrobe is designed to complete the collection's bed.

What you will like

• Only 54 cm wide – it fits a pier where an ordinary wardrobe will not
• 218.5 cm tall: the whole wall up to the ceiling is used
• Five shelves the full height, plus an open niche below the door
• Two pull-out drawers below for linen and small items
• Framed front rather than a flat panel
• Brushed gold knob handle, matching the rest of REL
• A white finish that suits almost any setting

Dimensions and capacity

Length 54 cm, depth 40 cm, height 218.5 cm. Inside are five shelves, an open niche below the door and two drawers at the bottom. A shelf 54 cm wide and 40 cm deep holds a stack of folded jumpers or two stacks of shirts. The lower drawers take linen and household textiles, and the open niche suits a bag or basket. At 218.5 cm, check your ceiling and stairwell: the wardrobe ships flat, but the assembled carcase is over two metres.

Materials and quality

Carcase and front are laminated chipboard with glued edging, resistant to chips and scratches. The front is framed. The handle is metal in brushed gold. Packed weight 51.6 kg. GALA MEBLE manufactures furniture in Poland. Warranty 12 months.

Is there a hanging rail? No. Inside are five shelves and clothes are stored folded. That follows from the depth: at 40 centimetres hangers only fit side-on and the row ends up short and awkward. If clothes must hang, choose a 60 cm deep wardrobe.

Why choose a narrow wardrobe? Because it fits where a wide one will not fit at all. In a room with a 60 centimetre pier free there is no choice: either this wardrobe or an open rail. The 218.5 cm height partly offsets the narrowness – the volume is gained upwards.

Lead time and delivery

This wardrobe is not held in stock in Israel; it comes to order from the factory in Poland, with a lead time of 60-90 working days. It arrives flat packed with instructions and fittings. The carcase is tall, assembled on the floor then raised and tied back to the wall, so assembly is sensible to order with delivery: the fitter assembles on site, adjusts the door and takes the packaging away. Delivery and assembly are quoted by address and paid separately.
