The track is at the top. I guess you dont need the bottom because the right panel serves to guide the door. If your hubby needs, i can send him a photo.

Smallboy 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 Some pics of my MBR WIW: Finally i get rest well after seeing the colour (Walnut) turn out fine. We like this dark wood colour very much. Inside: we couldn't decide if we want hanging on this portion or just shelves. Ask him to do both. Will remove 1 if choose the other option. The other side: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other side: Noticed that your WIW drawers / shelves do not have doors. Is it deliberate? My personal experience is that dust tends to accumulate / settle very quickly if the clothes, etc are not covered. Esp for the top shelves where we seldom reach / use. Maybe it's something you would want to consider ... for the top shelves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smallboy 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 We know about the dust problem. But we find it funny to put doors inside a WIW. And the overall look will be really weird. Imagine a door to the WIW and then see doors again to the wardrobe. :) Might as well do a normal wardrobe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After 8 years, we realised that we will still have to find some way to cover up the shelves if we intend to renovate our MBR next time. Just the shelves but not the part with the hangers.

I guess vanity comes over us and the practical part tossed out of the window. But maybe 1 year later after my reno, I will share the same view. hahaha... esp when my wife got to clean it. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiping with damp cloth won't solve the problem ... have to use CIF ! Your WIW planning is nice sufficient shelving and hangers for clothes. We sort of regret not asking our contracts to build more hangers / shelves for us ... haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivy 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 frankly even got door hor, the dust will still sneak in. thus I guess dust is something which is part of our life ha! I was thinking, the drawers are kind of shallow with quite a big gap in between the different levels of drawers, won't it take away precious storage space? If the drawers are the "old style" kind, can stack things on top of each other since they are deeper. no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted a gap so that clothes (of different colours) can peep thru the gap.... looks quite nice. Space is not lost cos I can still stack folded clothes to the end (of the gap) Again this is one of my weird vain plans........... :) cannot understand, right?
