Think about the ‘Fast Fashion’ industry and how the business model of making clothes to be fashionable for a very short period of time is causing important environmental problems. There is a ‘take, make, dispose’ cycle happening with fashion. You can compare it to a ‘take, make, dispose’ cycle in the furniture industry, with wardrobes being a prime example.
If you buy a well-made, fitted wardrobe, it is likely to be built to last and will not fall apart or warp. Not only does this give you years of trouble-free use, but you are also removing the waste created by the ‘take, make, dispose’ cycle, as you are not having to constantly replace it.

If you think about it, when you buy a flatpack wardrobe, you are not buying a piece of furniture for life but rather something that will have a short shelf life. They are usually made from cheap materials that are not of high quality and will start to deteriorate quickly. They don’t get built to last; they are built to be sold, as a cheap and quick solution to meet a demand for storage space.
The first sign that they will start to deteriorate is usually after about 3-5 years, when the first of the hanging rail clips start to break. If this happens, the whole wardrobe needs to be taken apart, and the broken rails and supporting brackets need to be replaced. The wardrobe will then start to lose its structural integrity and will eventually start to get wonky. This can then start to warp the panels, and as a result, you will start to lose the usable height and depth of the wardrobe.
