About the Metallic Grey Finish
Despite the name, this is not a mid grey. Metallic Grey is a deep, dark graphite – considerably closer to black than to silver, and in most rooms it reads as a near-black rather than a grey at all. If you have been searching for a large dark or black wardrobe, this is the colourway, and the softness in the tone is usually what people actually want in a bedroom rather than a true black.
At 271cm, choosing it is a decision the whole room has to accommodate. A wardrobe this wide in graphite does not sit in a bedroom – it defines it. Against white or off-white walls, pale flooring and a restrained palette the effect is genuinely architectural: a deliberate dark plane rather than a heavy piece of furniture, and considerably more impressive than the same wardrobe in a safe neutral. In a small or north-facing bedroom it will be too much, and the white version will serve the space far better.
The long chrome handles are what make it work. Six bright vertical lines running the full height of nearly three metres of graphite give the front a strong, regular rhythm and break the darkness into readable sections. Against a near-black surface the chrome catches every light source in the room. On a wardrobe this large that structure is doing essential work rather than decorative – without it, the front would read as a slab.
The Glamour range takes its name from the door fronts, and on a dark colour at this scale the three options give three genuinely different pieces of furniture.
Metallic grey décor is the quiet choice. A soft, non-reflective panel finish matching the carcase exactly, so the full 271cm reads as one solid architectural block. On a dark tone it is also the most forgiving option practically: matt surfaces do not show fingerprints in raking light the way reflective dark ones do, and across a wardrobe this size that is a meaningful difference in upkeep.
High gloss graphite is the dramatic one. A reflective lacquered surface on a near-black colour produces something close to a piano finish – deep, glassy, catching every light in the room. Across six doors it is the most theatrical piece in the entire Glamour range, though it needs regular attention to look its best.
Basalt glass is the premium option, and the one this collection is named for. These are genuine tempered glass fronts rather than a lacquered panel, and on a dark colour the difference is more visible than on any pale one: light travels across glass rather than stopping at it, giving the doors a lacquered depth and movement that no coating reproduces. Over a front this large, that movement is what keeps the darkness alive rather than flat. It also holds its appearance permanently, with no scuffed edges over time.
Internally the wardrobe divides into three equal 90cm compartments, each with a storage shelf and a hanging rail, all height-adjustable so the interior adapts to what you actually own rather than what the factory assumed. Three separate hanging sections is a more usable arrangement than one long run: two people sharing can take a compartment each, with the third given over to bedding, luggage or out-of-season clothing.
At 210cm high and 54cm deep, this fits a standard modern bedroom without needing a specialist ceiling height, and the footprint is no greater than a smaller wardrobe – only the run of wall changes. Manufactured 100% in Germany and certified with the Blue Angel and Golden M ecolabels, it meets independently verified standards for low emissions and furniture quality, which is worth having on a piece of furniture this size in a room you sleep in. It carries a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.
If you would prefer a mirror built into the wardrobe rather than standing separately, the same model is produced as a 6 door mirrored wardrobe at this width – worth serious thought on a dark colourway of this size, since the mirrored centre returns a good deal of the light the graphite absorbs. Glamour is also made as a 4 door wardrobe at 181cm and a 5 door wardrobe at 226cm.
The collection is also produced in White, where the three fronts are matt décor, high gloss white and white crystal glass. Matching bedside tables and chests of drawers are available from the same collection.
Internal Storage Layout
-
Three compartments: Each 90cm wide across the 271cm width
-
Left compartment (90cm): 1 storage shelf and 1 hanging rail for coats, dresses, shirts and suits
-
Centre compartment (90cm): Identical fittings – 1 storage shelf and 1 hanging rail
-
Right compartment (90cm): Identical fittings – 1 storage shelf and 1 hanging rail
-
Total hanging space: Three separate rails rather than one continuous run, allowing the wardrobe to be divided between users, seasons or garment types
-
Adjustability: All shelves and rails are height-adjustable, so one section can be set for full-length garments while another is given over to folded storage
-
Additional fittings: Further interior accessories are available from the Rauch range

FAQs
Is this wardrobe grey or black?
Despite the name, Metallic Grey is a deep graphite rather than a mid grey – considerably closer to black, and in most rooms it reads as a near-black. If you are looking for a large dark or black wardrobe, this is the colourway, and most people find the slight softness preferable to a true black in a bedroom.
What are the three front finishes?
Metallic grey décor is a soft, non-reflective panel finish matching the carcase. High gloss graphite is a reflective lacquered surface, close to a piano finish on a dark colour. Basalt glass is genuine tempered glass, giving the deepest, most lacquered result of the three. The carcase, interior, handles and dimensions are identical on all three.
Which finish should I choose?
Décor if you want the wardrobe to sit quietly and stay low-maintenance – matt is far more forgiving of fingerprints on a dark colour, and across six doors there is a great deal of surface to keep clean. High gloss for maximum drama. Basalt glass if the wardrobe is a feature of the room and you want the finish with the most depth, which across a front this wide is the most noticeable difference.
Is the basalt glass real glass?
Yes. The basalt fronts are genuine tempered glass, not a printed or lacquered panel. On a dark colour the difference is particularly noticeable – glass gives a depth and movement across the surface that a coated panel cannot reproduce.
Is a wardrobe this large and this dark right for my room?
It needs both a substantial run of clear wall and a room with light to spare. At 271cm in graphite the wardrobe defines the bedroom rather than sitting in it, which works well against white or off-white walls and pale flooring with good natural light. In a small or north-facing room, the white version – or the mirrored version of this one – will serve the space better. At 54cm deep, the footprint is no greater than a smaller wardrobe.
Does a dark finish show fingerprints and dust?
The gloss and glass fronts show marks more readily than the matt décor, which is markedly more forgiving. All three clean with a dry cloth, but on a wardrobe this size, décor is the practical choice if low maintenance matters.
How is the wardrobe divided inside?
Into three equal 90cm compartments, each with one storage shelf and one hanging rail, all height-adjustable. Three separate hanging sections rather than one long run, so the wardrobe can be divided between users or garment types.
What delivery options are available?
Free delivery is to your door – our drivers will not take the wardrobe into the house. Room of choice delivery is available at additional cost, where the wardrobe is brought to the room you specify. Full assembly is also available at additional cost, where our professional wardrobe fitters build the unit in your chosen room. On a wardrobe of this size the assembly service is worth considering.
How much space do I need to install it?
Allow 25cm of clearance for installation. On a wardrobe of this width it is worth measuring the full run of wall before ordering, including skirting boards, radiators and any point where the wall is not perfectly square.
Is a mirrored version available?
Yes. The same wardrobe is produced as a 6 door mirrored wardrobe at 271cm, with two mirrored centre doors. On a dark colourway of this size it is worth considering, since the mirrors return a good deal of the light the graphite absorbs.
Is it available in other sizes?
Yes. Glamour is produced as a 4 door wardrobe at 181cm and a 5 door wardrobe at 226cm.
Can I cancel or change my order?
No. This wardrobe is made to order by Rauch to your selected specification, so once the order has been processed it cannot be cancelled or amended. Please check your measurements and selected finish carefully before ordering.
What guarantee does it come with?
Rauch provide a 10-Year Manufacturer Guarantee, subject to their warranty terms.
Is there matching bedroom furniture?
Yes. Coordinating bedside tables and chests of drawers are available from the same collection.
How do I look after the surfaces?
The surfaces are easy to maintain and should be cleaned with a dry cloth only.
