Hello!

For our walk-in closet, we need two wardrobes. We took a look at Nolte Attraction at Höffner and liked it quite a bit. However, it only comes in widths of 270 or 300cm (106 or 118 inches), and with our wall measuring 291cm (115 inches), neither option fits at all.

So, we thought it might make more sense to consider custom-made furniture right away. After all, you want to have something for decades, and it should probably fit seamlessly. The room height is also important—who wants a dust trap area above the wardrobe? (On the other hand, especially for sliding door wardrobes, there needs to be some space left at the top for the doors to be installed properly.)

What do you think about a ceiling-high wardrobe solution?

Does anyone know of any providers for custom-made furniture who deliver reliable, high-quality work and stick to delivery schedules? Even with a custom solution, we want to have the same quality as offered by brands like Nolte or Staud.

Here is our walk-in closet.

I would try the local carpenter...
Our living room shelving and cabinet wall will cost around 1200€/m (about 370 USD/m). For that, we get exactly what we want, which we wouldn’t find in any furniture store. (different shelf depths, drawers at the bottom, doors at the top, and so on)

To be honest, that would be too expensive for little effect in my opinion. I would try to find a roughly suitable cabinet and then build drywall partitions around it instead.

I would go for the Pax system from Ikea. Affordable and good quality, very customizable.

For "just" clothes alone, I probably wouldn't invest in that either. I would go for the Pax system as well, 2.50 meters (8.2 feet) each, and fill the rest of the wall with shelves.

But he did ask for a custom size.

2.50 m (8 feet 2 inches) is not an option. We already have a 2.70 m (8 feet 10 inches) alternative. However, the preference would be to get it even more precise and possibly also include the ceiling height in the design.

So it’s better to ask a carpenter.
