Habitat Brooklyn 1 Door 5 Drawer Short Wardrobe - Sage Green

Missing parts

didn’t come with all the parts so we called habitat to ask for the missing part but they didn’t have any spare so we had to pack up all 100 or so parts (involves a lot of building!) and return it

Smart, sturdy & well worth the effort

The item comes as a single flat pack and is quite a weight. It will take two to carry it to the assembly location. This is actually a good sign as the wooden parts are solid and when assembled form a robust unit. The packaging provides good protection for the contents and there are protective papers between the gloss surfaces. Assembling the unit is quite a faff. There are hundreds of components and, as hand tools are recommended, wearing gloves is a must to avoid blisters. The instructions are fairly good although the diagram of the drawer sliders was slightly inaccurate and the installation of two pieces of wooden trim was overlooked in the guidance. You will need plenty of space in which to assemble the unit and allow at least 3 hours for the task. It is possible to misalign some elements so follow the instructions carefully. The finished item is very sturdy and looks really smart. If you need to provide hanging space for clothing in a height constrained room (such as a loft conversion) this is a smart and much cheaper alternative to custom built wardrobes. I bought the sage green version to match the carpet and other furnishings in my bedroom. The colour is actually a bit darker than sage green but it is a very compatible shade.

Looks good

this product is self assembly the instructions are not great . If you are not a DIY person do not buy this product or get a competent DIYer to put it together it took a very long time to assemble . At the price I would have thought it might have come assembled or with better instructions. Having sad that it does the job and looks ok

Not disappointed

This wardrobe was exactly what we wanted for our loft converted bedroom, it fitted the space perfectly. The quality is excellent with a very good weight to it. It went together well and looked just like the picture - what more can you ask for!

Bedroom transformation

After having an astronomical quote for built in wardrobes in our loft bedroom I spent almost a year on and off trying to source the exact size and design. So glad I found this from Habitat. Although it comes flat packed (wouldn't have got ready made up there anyway!) it was very easy to assemble as the instructions are very straightforward, all the pre-drilled holes matched up precisely. Well manufactured and solid once put together. I absolutely love this colour- it's given my room a real boost be aware though that this is designed for children's clothes so you won't have full hanging space for longer items of clothing, this isn't a problem.

Just the right size for guest room under a window

Nice colour, seems strong enough for a guest room. Fits well under a small window with hanging space and quite sturdy wooden drawers. Loads of pieces to put together as totally flat packed but 2 of us managed it in a morning with easy enough step by step instructions and use of a screwdriver and small hammer. Very pleased with the look.
