Here’s a guide to help you navigate through the color conundrum and make your wardrobe a statement piece that stands the test of time. Practical Considerations#

Questions people ask us
5 answersA fitted wardrobe from AF Fitted Wardrobes starts at £2,400 for a 3m run, including design, manufacture and installation. The final price depends on width, height, internal layout and finish — your free design visit gives you a fixed, itemised quote with no obligation.
About 14 days from approved design to installed wardrobe. That covers the 3D design, manufacture in our Greater Manchester workshop, and a typical one-to-two day fit.
Yes. We measure your space, talk through layouts and produce a 3D visual free of charge. There is no obligation and no deposit taken at that stage.
Every installation carries a 10-year material guarantee, and we handle any aftercare directly rather than through a third party.
That is exactly where fitted furniture pays for itself. Loft eaves, coombed ceilings, chimney breasts, bay windows and under-stairs voids are all made to measure, so awkward angles become usable storage instead of dead space.
Still unsure? — we'll measure up and tell you honestly whether fitted is the right call for your room.
