Oak has a distinctive grain and natural variation that can make it a characterful choice for a wardrobe. Revival Beds’ free-standing solid oak wardrobes are made to order in Nottinghamshire, with sizes, finishes and internal layouts varying by model. Here are a few points to consider when choosing one.
Here are four points to consider when choosing an oak wardrobe:
- Oak construction and care
- Oak timber and finish
- Choosing a wardrobe
- Delivered and Installed Just for You
1. Oak construction and care
A wardrobe’s working life depends on its construction, use and care. Compare the materials, joints, warranty and assembly or installation service for the particular products you are considering rather than assuming one material will always last longer.
The interior of your handmade wardrobe receives the same attention to detail as the exterior. Full-length or short-drop hanging rails are secured into the wood with brass cup screws so they won’t part company with the side sections. The beauty of our handmade wardrobes is that they’re built using strong mortise and tenon joints.
Oak’s natural grain gives each wardrobe its own appearance. The timber’s look can change with the finish and the light in your room, so requesting a sample can help you choose.
2. Oak timber and finish
Oak can show natural markings such as medullary rays, which add variation to the grain. Check the product details for the timber and finish used on the wardrobe you are considering.
Oak has a distinctive grain and a finish that should be cared for according to the product guidance. Avoid broad comparisons with other materials unless they are supported by specific product information.
3. Choosing a wardrobe
Revival’s oak wardrobe collection includes set models and internal configurations. The individual product page lists the dimensions, finishes and options available for that model. Wardrobes are not built to bespoke dimensions.
Revival wardrobes are made to order in the standard or Emperor sizes available for each model. They are free-standing pieces, not made-to-measure units built around alcoves. Finishes and internal layouts vary by model; you can request free wood samples to compare the finishes at home.
The oak wardrobe range offers internal configuration options that vary by model. Check the product listing or contact the team if you need help confirming which layout is available.
