On first viewing when you open the doors, you can't help but feel you're being catapulted back to the 1930's inside a shop fitters. Whole banks of sliding glazed drawers and doors for every conceivable garment, beautifully labeled. Drawers fitted with compartments for collars & cufflinks was most definitely for the wealthy gentleman of the time. A bank of chrome ended sheets of walnut to keep your shirts neatly pressed, could also work for t-shirts etc. A pull out chrome pole on the exterior to rest your clothing on whilst changing, chrome pull out trouser and jacket rods, hidden /secret drawers, full length mirror, shoe rack hidden within plinth. These are just some of the many facets of this multitask wardrobe.
