Lucy 2 Door Mirrored Sliding Wardrobe 180cm

Description

The Lucy 2 Door Mirrored Sliding Wardrobe 180cm is a full-height bedroom wardrobe with two sliding doors, one of them fitted with a tall mirror that has a soft, rounded edge. It measures 180cm wide, 62cm deep and 200cm tall and comes in five finishes: Oak Artisan, White Matt, Black Matt, Cashmere and Warm Walnut, all at the same price of £454.99. Because the doors slide rather than swing, nothing opens into the room, which makes Lucy a good answer where the bed, a chest of drawers or a radiator sits close to the wardrobe wall.

The mirror is what gives Lucy its look. Instead of a plain rectangle, the glass on one of the two doors is shaped like a tall arch, straight along one side and curved along the other, and the rest of the front stays in the plain finish you choose. You get a full-length dressing mirror without fixing one to the wall, the room picks up light from the window, and the front stays calm and uncluttered. Slim silver handles are set into the outer edges of the doors.

Who it suits

At 180cm Lucy is a two-person wardrobe for a double or king-size bedroom. The symmetrical layout, with shelves at both ends and rails in the middle, means each person can take a side.

Choosing a finish

Oak Artisan is a warm, honey-coloured oak effect with knots and open grain, good for a rustic or Scandinavian room. Warm Walnut is a deeper, richer brown wood effect that suits darker floors and traditional bedrooms. White Matt is the brightest option and lets the wardrobe fade into a pale wall, which helps a smaller room feel bigger. Cashmere is a soft greige, between grey and beige, that works with neutral schemes and brass or gold accents. Black Matt makes the wardrobe a feature, and the curved mirror stands out sharply against it. Each finish has its own room-set photo in the gallery, so you can judge the real colour rather than a small swatch.

Storage inside

Inside there is a central hanging bay about 78.5cm wide with a column of open shelves about 47.5cm wide on each side. The hanging space is double-hung: an upper rail and a lower rail, each with about 93.5cm of drop, separated by a shelf. That gives you twice the rail length for shirts, blouses, jackets, skirts and folded trousers. It does not give a single full-length drop, so long dresses and full-length coats are better stored elsewhere. The shelf compartments are about 37.5cm high, which suits stacks of jumpers, t-shirts, bedding, bags or shoe boxes, and the usable depth is about 48cm. Arte-N list eight shelves and two hanging rails for this width.

Each door covers about 90cm: one opens a shelf column and half of the hanging bay, the other the remaining half and the second shelf column. Some photos in the gallery show small drawers fitted into a shelf column. Those drawers are an optional extra sold separately by Arte-N and are not included with this wardrobe; the photos without drawers show exactly what you receive.

Measuring up

Allow a clear wall of at least 182cm so the frame does not catch the skirting or a side wall, and check that nothing on the wall (a socket, radiator or window board) sits within the 62cm depth. Sliding doors need no swing space, only room to stand in front. The wardrobe is assembled lying on its back and then lifted upright, so the ceiling must be at least 2.1m. Arte-N give the weight as about 150kg. Plan for two adults to assemble it, and fix it to the wall with fixings suitable for your wall.

Build and care

The carcass and doors are 16mm laminated board with PVC-finished edges, which protect the board from knocks and moisture. The mirror is fitted to the door at the factory. Wipe the laminate with a slightly damp soft cloth and dry it straight away; for the mirror, spray glass cleaner onto the cloth rather than onto the door. Keep the bottom track clear of fluff and hair so the doors run smoothly, and check the door adjusters a few weeks after assembly once the wardrobe has settled.

Other sizes and similar wardrobes

Lucy comes in six widths with the same 200cm height, 62cm depth, five finishes and arched mirror: 100cm, 120cm, 150cm, 200cm and 250cm. If you would like a mirror on every door, the Madryt 180cm has the same interior with wave-cut mirrors on both doors.
