Wardrobe Pricing Guide
Furniture is not like spices! Because
if it were, you would just pick a wardrobe from a store for the quoted price and won't get muddled by the price. Most of us do not understand the differences
between various types of engineered wood and other materials and just end up
buying what appeals most to our eye in our budget. Yet, we are never sure if
the price paid by us is actually right. For the exact price, the detailed
design is required but with just details like dimensions, we can get a rough
estimate of the price.

MDF veneer and Plywood veneer are
generally used for the doors and exteriors to give appearance of the wood.
However for the interiors, shelves, or drawers, you can use pre-laminated particle
board, MDF or plywood as it is economical.
Besides, you can also choose to
get the popular printed doors for your wardrobes. MDF is used for printed doors
and costs around Rs. 1200 per square feet.

ranges from 6.5 to 7 feet in height and 3.5 to 4 feet in width. The cost of the

Mirror
Most people prefer to have a
mirror fixed on the wardrobe in the bedroom so as to save space and create an
illusion of a bigger room. The mirror costs roughly around Rs 450 per square
feet. A full panel mirror for a 7 feet cupboard and 1.5 wide door will cost Rs
4700. Lot of people prefer to get a mirror that covers only half the panel to
save on the cost. A semi panel mirror should cost only Rs. 2400.
Hardware
The hardware generally includes
handles, hanging rods, sliders and hinges for the wardrobe. The handles may
cost anything in the range of Rs. 200 to Rs. 800 per piece. The price of the
handles depends upon the brand and mass of the metal used. The cost of hanging
rod and supports depends on the length of the rod. A simple 24 inch rod should
cost anything between Rs. 100 to Rs 150. Sliding shelves, drawers, or shoe
shelves of standard size may cost anything in the range of Rs. 1100 to Rs.
1800. The exact price will depend on the dimensions.
