How We Build Melbourne’s Best Custom Wardrobes — Step by Step
Custom Storage Built for Your Life — and Built the Right Way
If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by a renovation or burned by a tradie who ghosted you halfway through a job… you’re not alone. We hear it all the time from Melbourne homeowners.
That’s why at Robes Collective, we’ve built a clear, transparent process that takes the stress out of getting a custom wardrobe — and replaces it with excitement, ease, and total confidence.
From the moment you contact us to the day your new wardrobe is installed, you’ll know exactly what’s happening, what to expect, and how we’re creating a storage solution that’s uniquely yours.
This isn’t a flat-pack delivery. This is custom cabinetry done properly.
Step 1: Discovery & Consultation (We Come to You)
We begin with a free, no-obligation design consultation, where we visit your home to learn about your space, needs and lifestyle.
What we cover during the consult:
• Your current storage frustrations
• Your wardrobe goals (walk-in? sliding? built-in?)
• Style preferences and finishes
• Room measurements and layout options
• Smart accessories or lighting you might want
• Budget range and desired timeline
We’ll also show you real samples of materials, handles, and finishes — so you can start visualising the final result.
Step 2: Design & Quote — Tailored to You
Within a few days of your consult, we’ll send you a detailed quote.
Here’s what makes it different:
• Made-to-measure — every component is tailored to your room’s exact dimensions.
• Transparent pricing — no hidden fees, no guesswork.
You’ll also have the opportunity to fine-tune the layout, swap materials, or add extras like pull-out racks or internal lighting.
Step 3: Material Selection — Quality First, Always
Once you approve the final design, we get to work on materials.
We source premium products from trusted Australian suppliers:
• Moisture-resistant boards and laminates
• Soft-close drawer hardware
• FSC-certified timbers
• Low-VOC finishes (for healthier homes)
And because we’re local, we know how to match your style — whether it’s a Hamptons-inspired walk-in or a modern minimalist built-in wardrobe.
Step 4: Fabrication — Precision, Not Production Lines
Unlike flat-pack or mass-produced furniture, Robes Collective wardrobes are built by real cabinetmakers, right here in Melbourne.
In our local workshop:
• Every wardrobe is built from scratch
• We pre-fit all components to ensure perfect installation
• We conduct quality checks before anything leaves the shop
This is cabinetry with craft. No shortcuts, no cookie-cutter templates.
Step 5: Professional Installation by Our Team (Not Outsourced)
Installation is where the magic happens — and we treat it with the same care as every other step.
We schedule your install at a time that works for you, then our in-house team:
• Delivers all components with care
• Protects your floors and home during install
• Installs everything with laser precision
• Cleans up when we’re done
• Walks you through your new wardrobe before we leave
And if there’s ever a problem? You’re dealing directly with us — no third-party installers, no runaround.
Step 6: Aftercare & Follow-Up
We stand behind our work. That’s why all Robes Collective wardrobes come with a workmanship guarantee — and we’re here if you ever need support.
We also give you:
• Tips for maintaining your cabinetry
• Advice on future upgrades or matching pieces
• Priority scheduling if you decide to renovate further
We’re not just a one-off job — we’re your long-term cabinetry partner.
