Hi,
I'm looking to build some built in wardrobes in our main bedroom.
They will be of a decent size, roughly 2.8m long x 2.3m high x 24" deep.
What would be the best wood to use for the internal structure? MDF?
If so, which thickness would you recommend to help prevent bowing etc. 9mm? 12mm?
The wardrobes will consist of 1 high shelf, total the full 2.8m in length, will probably make this up of 2 x 1.4m lengths. This will be fastened to the 3 external walls and have 2 upright supports breaking the wardrobe into 3 sections.
There will be a total of 5 hanging rails in different places and shelving along the bottom of about half of the wardrobe.
Anyway, the finer details can wait, just wanted some advice on which wood to use bearing in mind weight of clothes hanging etc.
Thanks for any help, ny questions please ask
Andy
