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 dark or black wardrobe, this is the colourway to look at, and the softness in the tone is usually what people actually want in a bedroom rather than a true black.
Dark finishes reward good design, and this is where the long chrome handles come into their own. Four bright vertical lines running the full height of a graphite front is a strong, deliberate contrast – the single detail that makes this wardrobe read as designed rather than simply dark. Against black or charcoal the chrome catches every light source in the room, and the effect is far more striking than the same handles on a white door.
The Glamour range takes its name from the door fronts, and on a dark colour 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 wardrobe reads as one solid architectural block. On a dark tone this is also the most forgiving option practically: matt surfaces do not show fingerprints in raking light the way reflective dark surfaces do, which makes it the sensible choice for a family bedroom.
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, and catching every light in the room. It is the most theatrical option in the range, though it does need occasional attention to keep looking 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. It also holds that appearance permanently, with no scuffed edges over time.
Metallic Grey suits rooms with light to spare. Against white or off-white walls, pale flooring and a restrained palette, the contrast reads as architectural rather than heavy – and the chrome handles keep it from feeling severe. In a small or north-facing bedroom, the white version of this wardrobe will do considerably more for the space.
Behind the doors the layout is straightforward and uncluttered. Two compartments of 90cm, each with a storage shelf and a hanging rail, both height-adjustable so the interior can be set for what you actually own. Raise the shelf for full-length coats and dresses, or lower it to add folded storage.
At 181cm wide, 210cm high and 54cm deep, this suits a standard double bedroom without demanding a specialist ceiling height. 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 – worth having on a large piece of furniture 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 4 door mirrored wardrobe at this width – worth considering on a dark colourway, since the mirror returns light the graphite absorbs. For a longer wall, Glamour is also made as a 5 door wardrobe at 226cm and a large 6 door wardrobe at 271cm.
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.

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 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. 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, and the one that will still look immaculate in ten years.
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.
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 if low maintenance matters, décor is the practical choice on a colour this dark.
Is a dark wardrobe too much for a small bedroom?
It depends on the light rather than the floor area. Metallic Grey works well against white or off-white walls and pale flooring in a room with reasonable natural light. In a small or north-facing bedroom, the white version – or the mirrored version of this one – will serve the space better.
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.
How much space do I need to install it?
Allow 25cm of clearance for installation. It is worth measuring the intended space before ordering, including skirting boards, radiators and any point where the wall is not perfectly square.
What is inside the wardrobe?
Two compartments of 90cm, each with one storage shelf and one hanging rail. Both are height-adjustable, so the layout can be set for full-length garments or for more folded storage.
Is a mirrored version available?
Yes. The same wardrobe is produced as a 4 door mirrored wardrobe at 181cm, which is worth considering on a dark colourway since the mirror returns light the graphite absorbs.
Is it available in other sizes?
Yes. Glamour is produced as a 5 door wardrobe at 226cm and a large 6 door wardrobe at 271cm.
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.
