The Complete Fitted Wardrobe Buying Guide for UK Homeowners
Investing in fitted wardrobes is one of the smartest ways you maximise your space, whilst adding a touch of luxury and organisation to your home. However, with so many options available on the market, how do you make sure you’re choosing the right supplier, to avoid costly mistakes? This guide walks you through the key questions to ask, what to watch out for and how to make a confident and informed buying decision, before investing in your new fitted wardrobe.
1. Questions to Ask Suppliers
Before committing to a fitted wardrobe company, make sure you ask all the essential questions…
- Are your fitted wardrobes made to measure?
- Where are your fitted wardrobes manufactured?
- What material and finish choices are available?
- What is included in the quote?
- Do you install the fitted wardrobes?
- Do you offer a warranty on your fitted wardrobes?
At My Fitted Bedroom, we would happily answer all of the above questions – explaining our manufacturing process, showing material samples and discussing the installation, giving transparent answers that ensure you understand exactly what you’re investing your money in, so that you can feel super confident in your choice!
2. Red Flags to Watch Out For
Always beware of deals that sounds too good to be true – common red flags include:
- No written quote or unclear pricing.
- Pushy sales tactics by salespeople.
- Vague warranty information.
- Outsourced installation which is difficult to quality control.
A trusted fitted wardrobe supplier will be transparent, customer-focused and experienced. It’s absolutely worth reading past customer reviews to hear real customer feedback. At My Fitted Bedroom we have more than 3,000 Trustpilot reviews! These are so important for our potential customers to read, before placing an order with us.
3. Understanding Quotes and Contracts
Always review your quote and contract before signing. It’s important to make sure you understand what’s included in your purchase, whether that’s doors, interior features, delivery, installation, warranty and more.
At My Fitted Bedroom, we pride ourselves on providing clear quotes, so that you know exactly what you’re paying for – no hidden fees, just honest pricing for beautifully crafted, bespoke fitted wardrobes.
4. Warranty and Guarantees
In the bespoke furniture industry, warranties are common. However, your fitted wardrobes should not just come with a guarantee, but a comprehensive warranty that covers materials, fixtures and fittings. This is to give you, as the customer, peace of mind that your investment will last for years to come! You can read about our comprehensive 10-year product warranty on our website; this reflects the quality and durability of our British-made fitted wardrobes.
5. Installation Timelines
The installation process of custom fitted wardrobes and other fitted furniture can typically take somewhere between one to three days, depending on the complexity of the bespoke wardrobe design. Timelines can definitely vary from company to company, so it’s always good to confirm the length of the installation upfront, as well as the estimated date for fitting; lead times can be a huge deciding factor. Lastly, remember that professional fitted wardrobe installers should work cleanly and efficiently, so that there’s minimal disruption and mess in your home.
6. Finance Options
Fitted wardrobes are absolutely a long term investment – they should be beautiful and functional long into the future! Many UK suppliers offer finance options. At My Fitted Bedroom, for example, we provide interest free finance and low monthly payment plans – we want to make it easier for you to spread the cost of your dream fitted furniture, without compromising on the quality.
