Details of the frame and shelves are made of durable chipboard, and the back wall of fibreboard. The model can be one-, two- and three frame types. It is easy and interesting to assemble it, because it is a designer, as the equipment may be different, depending on the preferences of the buyer.

Sometimes it is required to place clothes and shoes in a hard-to-reach place; a built-in version of the wardrobe with sliding doors is best suited for this. This view differs from the hull in the absence of walls, ceiling and floor. The complete or partial absence of these elements not only significantly reduces the price, but also makes the construction monolithic, allowing you to use every centimeter of usable area. It is for this reason that very often a built-in wardrobe is installed in the hall.A good option in the presence of niches and openings in the small hallway.

A good solution for a small hallway would be a corner option. Not bad fit into the interior of the hall closet from the series Hamnes - not large, but roomy, raised on wooden legs. Thanks to this design, you can easily do wet cleaning.

For internal equipment, the company has developed not only familiar shelves, bars and drawers, but also pull-out baskets and trouser hangers.

Closed boxes, if desired, can be supplemented with suitable size dividers or inserts. Inserts are made of soft material and have a different arrangement of compartments. Perfect for storing small items.The separator is designed to store belts, scarves and other small things.

An alternative to closed drawers is a wire or metal pull-out basket. Due to its design, it provides a good overview of the contents and promotes air circulation. This element is produced in various widths and depths.

Elements of some series can be successfully combined with each other by color. The most popular colors are: black and brown, white, bleached oak, oak and taupe.

When choosing a color, you must follow some rules. The color of the selected cabinet should be in harmony with the interior of the room. If the room is not large, then it is better to choose this piece of furniture in bright colors. For example, in a small bedroom the wardrobe will look great in white, especially if the color of the wallpaper is in bright colors. And if it is equipped with doors with mirrors, then visually you can add space.

A wardrobe in the color of bleached oak fits perfectly into the small and dark hallway. For a spacious living room, where a small loss of space is not critical, you can choose the option in black and brown or oak.

How to collect your own hands?

In order for the closet to serve faithfully for a long time, it is necessary to correctly install it using the enclosed instructions. Consistently, step by step connecting the details and taking into account all the nuances, you can independently assemble and install the wardrobe. But sometimes during installation you may encounter some problems resulting from improper assembly:

  • One of them is associated with improper sliding of the doors along the guides that occur when they are incorrectly installed. This problem is solved by rearranging the system equipped with rollers on the sliding doors.
  • The second reason is related to the under-screwed screws used to fasten the door frames or to install the rollers.Sometimes it is not possible to screw it up, it can be torn off, or just not go along the thread. You can get it with the help of tools, and drive the internal thread with a tap and then tighten the screw.
  • Descended from the guide roller, due to the ingress of a foreign object or improper location of the stopper. In the first variant, an unnecessary item is deleted. In the second, the roller is re-installed with the bottom bracket in the guide, followed by fixing the limiter.
  • Failure to move the doors is possible due to skewed frame. It arises, either because of the unevenness of the flooring, or because of the incorrectly made screed of the frame, or inaccurate attachment to the wall.
  • If you can not hang the door, then you need to pay attention to the limiter. For the inner door, before installing the part of the limiter set in a horizontal position, and then you need to return to the vertical. For the second door, the part is transferred to itself, and after installation from itself.
  • If the door knocks when opening, then it is necessary to inspect the guides on the presence of debris and clearance when the guides are loosely connected to each other.And also inspect the wheel in the roller system for deformation and the presence of foreign particles.
  • Door rattling may be due to loss or consciously not installing seals, as well as poor screw fixation. Sometimes, due to incorrectly adjusted doors, the inner drawers are hurt when rolling out. To eliminate the problem you need to pay attention not only to the door, but also to the frame, aligning it with the help of a level. And also do not forget to check the bump stop, putting it in the correct position.

In order for the wardrobe to not accidentally fall, and the course of sliding doors was smooth, it must be attached to the wall.
