Description
The Amsterdam 203cm is a two-door sliding wardrobe that puts a mirror, a row of drawers and a strip of LED light into one unit. One door is white high-gloss, the other is a full-height mirror, and both run in front of a walnut-effect carcass. Across the bottom sit two wide external drawers, so you can open them without sliding a door out of the way first. At 222cm tall it uses the height of a standard British bedroom rather than leaving a dead gap above.
This is a white gloss sliding wardrobe with drawers for a main bedroom that needs to do several jobs: hang the week’s clothes, fold away jumpers and bedding, and give you a full-length mirror without fixing one to the wall. The lighting strip across the top washes down the front, which is helpful on a dark landing wall or in a room lit by a single ceiling pendant.

- Two external drawers along the base

- LED light strip across the top of the frame

- Walnut-effect carcass with white high-gloss fronts
- Supplied flat packed for home assembly
Dimensions
| Width | 203cm |
|---|---|
| Height | 222cm |
| Depth | 61cm |
| Shipping weight | about 223kg across its cartons |
Those are the assembled dimensions. Before you order, measure the route the cartons have to travel as well as the wall the wardrobe will stand against: the front door, any turn in the stairs, the landing and the bedroom doorway. The panels are long, and a 203cm wardrobe cannot be tipped through a tight turn once it is built, so it should be assembled in the room.
Check the ceiling as well. You need a little more than the 222cm finished height to stand the wardrobe upright during assembly, and few ceilings are perfectly level.

Planning it into the room
Inside you get a hanging rail across most of the width with a narrow column of open shelves to one side, all above the two drawers. Because the doors slide, nothing needs to be left clear in front of the unit, so it can sit opposite the foot of a bed or close to a doorway. The drawers are external and pull straight out, so leave enough floor in front of the base for a drawer to open fully – roughly the depth of the drawer plus room to stand.
Leave a few centimetres behind the wardrobe if your skirting board is deep, and check the floor is level before you build: on a tall unit a slight slope shows up as doors that will not close flush. We recommend fixing every wardrobe of this height to the wall with a suitable anti-tip fitting.
Delivery
We deliver to mainland England and Wales. We do not currently deliver to Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands or the Isles of Scilly.
The wardrobe arrives flat packed in several cartons, with a total shipping weight of about 223kg, so two people are needed to carry and assemble it. The current lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order, and we will confirm your delivery date before dispatch. Please make sure the route into the room is clear on the day.
Questions we get asked
Does the LED lighting need wiring in?
No hard wiring is needed. The light strip is part of the wardrobe and runs from a plug-in supply, so you will want a socket within reach of the back or side of the unit. Plan the cable route before you push the wardrobe against the wall.
Which door is the mirror?
One of the two sliding doors is a full-length mirror and the other is white high-gloss. Because they slide past each other, the mirror can sit on either side of the opening depending on which section you are using.
Can the drawers open with the doors closed?
Yes. The drawers sit below the sliding doors as a separate row, so they open straight out whatever position the doors are in.
Will long coats and dresses hang full length?
The hanging section sits above the drawer row, so the drop is shorter than the 222cm overall height suggests. Coats, suits, shirts and most dresses hang well; measure any floor-length garment against the hanging space before ordering.
Does it come assembled?
No. It is delivered flat packed in several cartons with fixings and instructions. It is a two-person build, and it should be assembled in the room where it will stand.
