Bespoke Birch Plywood Fitted Wardrobe, Made for customer Dover UK
Project Overview
This bespoke birch plywood fitted wardrobe was designed, manufactured and installed for a client looking for a clean, durable and space efficient storage solution. The entire system was built from high grade 18 mm birch plywood, finished with a natural water based lacquer that enhances the wood’s character while providing long term protection.
The wardrobe measures approximately 2.5 m by 3.5 m with a height of 2.25 m. Every component was made to measure, including the interior layout, shelving, drawers and full height slab doors. The result is a modern, seamless piece of fitted furniture that integrates perfectly with the room and maximises usable space.

Design and Functionality
Smart Use of Space
The layout maximises every centimetre of the room by combining full height storage, deep compartments and a continuous worktop under the window. This keeps the visual lines clean while giving the client additional usable surface without taking space from the room.
Custom Interior Configuration
The interior includes six soft close drawers and adjustable shelving, configured around the client’s daily habits. Each component is positioned for comfort and ease of use, creating a practical wardrobe that remains simple, robust and enjoyable to use.
Materials and Finish
High Quality Birch Plywood
The wardrobe is crafted from high quality birch plywood chosen for its structural stability, long lifespan and timeless appearance. Its fine grain allows for visually consistent surfaces, giving the furniture a clean and modern feel.
Satin Water Based Lacquer
A satin water based lacquer brings out the natural colour of the wood while offering strong resistance to moisture and day to day wear. This finish keeps the wardrobe looking refined and ensures it remains easy to maintain for years.
Hardware and Quality Assurance
Premium BLUM Components
To ensure long term reliability, the wardrobe is fitted with BLUM push to open hinges and drawer runners. These components are known for their smooth, effortless motion and high quality construction.
Long Term Performance Guarantee
With a 25 year manufacturer warranty, the hardware ensures long term reliability. It reinforces the build quality of the wardrobe and contributes to a confidently durable installation.
Challenges and Solutions
Precision Panel Alignment
This project required precise craftsmanship to align large panels and maintain consistent grain patterns across the entire surface. Achieving a uniform modern look depended on careful material handling and accurate installation.
Optimising the Interior Layout
Maximising functionality within the available space presented an additional challenge. Through careful planning we optimised the placement of shelves, hanging areas and drawers, ensuring that every part of the wardrobe remained practical and accessible without compromising the clean aesthetic.
Environmental Considerations
Responsible Material Selection
Birch plywood is an efficient and sustainable material due to its multi-layered structure, which makes strong use of wood resources while reducing waste. Its durability extends the lifespan of the furniture, minimising long term material consumption.
Low VOC Finishing System
The use of low VOC water based lacquers aligns with environmentally responsible practices. These finishes reduce harmful emissions while still offering excellent protection and longevity, making the piece both practical and eco friendly.
