Two wardrobe quotes can look similar and cover very different things. Before choosing on price, compare the opening, the storage layout and exactly what each supplier includes.
White and walnut finishes offer different choices to compare in your specification.
Start with the same scope
A door-only quote is different from a complete wardrobe with internal storage. Write down whether you need sliding doors, tracks, drawer towers, shelving, hanging space or a combination. Use the same list when requesting each quote.
Direct Wardrobes supplies sliding wardrobe doors, interior kits and hardware. Treat supply and installation as separate parts of your project: confirm who will measure, prepare the opening, install the products and remove an old wardrobe. Do not assume these services are included in a supply-only price.
Compare like-for-like materials
Keep the door arrangement and finish choices consistent. A full mirror door, a white panel and a divided design with a woodgrain accent are different specifications. Frame finish and optional finishing components can also change the order.
For interiors, compare the actual number of drawers, shelves and hanging sections. A lower total may simply include less storage. Ask for named finishes rather than relying on a small photo: lighting and screens can make two different materials look alike.
Check the total cost of getting it ready to use
Compare the final payable amount, including GST where applicable, delivery or collection, and any separately arranged installation. Also ask what preparation is needed before fitting begins.
An existing cavity may have skirting, side returns or uneven surfaces that affect the layout. Share clear photographs and measurements before confirming the specification. Resolving an access problem before ordering is more useful than comparing prices for two layouts that cannot both work in your room.
Doors and track system: what is included?
Interior storage: which towers, shelves and rails?
Finishes and optional components: are they the same?
Delivery or collection: what is the agreed arrangement?
Installation and opening preparation: who is responsible?
Timing: what lead time applies to this exact order?
Ask for the assumptions in writing
Keep a copy of the measurements, selected finishes and approved layout alongside the quote. Check what happens if the opening changes during renovation, and confirm the supplier’s order, warranty and delivery terms.
For builders and trades, identify each opening clearly so the right kit and doors arrive for the right room. For a supply-only project, review the measuring and installation guides with your installer before ordering. A competitive price is most valuable when the specification is clear and the finished wardrobe suits the space.
