The large mirrored sliding doors help reflect natural light throughout the room whilst creating the illusion of additional space. The sliding door configuration allows easy access to the wardrobe interior without requiring extra clearance space, making it a practical solution for a variety of bedroom layouts.

Internally, the wardrobe is divided into four practical compartments measuring approximately 45cm, 90cm, 90cm and 45cm.

This generous layout provides a total of eight shelves and four hanging rails, making it ideal for larger households or customers with extensive wardrobe collections.

The shelving and hanging rails are height adjustable, allowing you to tailor the interior configuration to suit your individual storage requirements. Optional Classic and Premium interior packages are also available for customers looking to maximise organisation and functionality.

Soft-close sliding door mechanisms are highly recommended as an additional accessory, helping the doors glide more smoothly and close more quietly. Combined with Rauch's renowned German engineering and premium build quality, the Rio wardrobe is designed to provide years of dependable performance.

Assembly Service

Professional Wardrobe Delivery & Assembly

Take the stress out of setting up your new wardrobe with our professional delivery and assembly service. Where available, our specialist team can deliver your furniture to your room of choice, professionally assemble it, remove the packaging and complete a final handover before they leave.

You will see the delivery and assembly options available to you directly on the relevant product page.

Professional Assembly From £79

Assembly charges vary depending on the size of the wardrobe. The correct price will be shown automatically on eligible product pages.

Which Assembly Service Is Available?

Not every wardrobe is supplied using the same delivery service, so each product page will clearly show which option applies to the wardrobe you are purchasing.

Free Assembly

Selected wardrobes include professional delivery and assembly in your room of choice at no additional charge.

Assembly Available at Cost

On eligible wardrobes, you can select Professional Delivery & Assembly directly from the product page. Assembly prices start from £79 and vary depending on the size of the wardrobe.

Delivery Only

Some wardrobes are supplied flat-packed for customer assembly. Where professional assembly is not available, this will be clearly stated on the product page.

Why Choose Professional Delivery & Assembly?

Large wardrobes can involve heavy components, detailed instructions and a considerable amount of floor space during assembly. Our professional service is designed to make the whole process easier from delivery through to final setup.

Expert Installation

Your furniture is assembled by an experienced specialist team familiar with handling and building large wardrobes.

Hassle-Free Setup

No complicated instructions, heavy lifting or hours spent putting your new wardrobe together yourself.

Assembly Damage Covered

If accidental damage occurs to your furniture during assembly by our team, we will take responsibility for resolving the issue.

Packaging Removal

Once assembly is complete, our team will remove all packaging and leave your home clean and tidy, just as they found it.

Room of Choice

Your wardrobe is delivered into the room where it will be assembled, subject to safe and suitable access.

Professional Handover

Once assembly is complete, our team will carry out final checks and show you your new wardrobe, including how the doors, drawers and relevant features operate.

How Professional Assembly Works

Step 1

Choose Your Wardrobe

Browse our wardrobe collections and choose the size, finish and configuration that works for your bedroom.

Step 2

Select Your Delivery Service

Where available, select Professional Delivery & Assembly from the delivery options shown directly on the product page.

Step 3

Prepare the Room

Make sure the room and access route are clear and that sufficient floor and ceiling space is available for safe assembly.

Step 4

We Take Care of the Rest

Our specialist team will deliver, assemble, position and check your wardrobe before completing the handover.

Preparing Your Room for Assembly

Large wardrobes normally need to be assembled flat before being carefully raised into their final position. Preparing the room before the delivery team arrives is therefore essential.

• Ensure the room has sufficient clear floor space for the wardrobe to be assembled lying flat.
• Allow approximately 20cm of clearance around the wardrobe footprint where possible.
• Allow approximately 15–20cm of ceiling clearance above the finished height of the wardrobe.
• Ensure access routes, doorways, hallways and stairs are clear and suitable for the wardrobe components to be safely carried into the room.
• Remove furniture and other items that may obstruct the assembly area.
• Consider radiators, light fittings, low ceilings, sloping ceilings and other permanent obstructions that could prevent safe assembly.
• Our wardrobes are freestanding and the assembly team may require access around the furniture during installation.

Important: If our assembly team arrives and the room or access route is not suitable for safe delivery and assembly, they may be unable to complete the service. The assembly charge may still apply where the service cannot be completed because sufficient access or assembly space has not been provided.

What Happens If Damage Occurs During Assembly?

When you choose our Professional Delivery & Assembly service, the installation is carried out by our specialist assembly team.

If accidental damage occurs to your wardrobe during assembly, the assemblers will report the damage to us so that we can arrange the appropriate replacement part.

We normally aim to order the replacement part within approximately 48 hours of receiving the relevant information from the assembly team.

Please be aware that many of our wardrobe parts are manufactured and supplied from Germany. Replacement components may therefore take a similar lead time to the original order before they arrive with us and can be arranged for fitting.

This is one of the key benefits of selecting professional assembly: if accidental damage occurs during installation by our team, we take responsibility for resolving the issue.

Assembly by the Customer

If your wardrobe is supplied as Delivery Only, it will normally arrive flat-packed with the components and assembly instructions required to build the furniture.

Large wardrobes normally need to be assembled flat before being carefully raised into their final position. We strongly recommend checking all components before beginning assembly and making sure there is sufficient room to work safely around the wardrobe.

• Check all packs before beginning assembly.
• Confirm that all required components are present.
• Check that no components appear damaged before assembly begins.
• Use at least two people for safe assembly and lifting.
• Allow approximately 20cm of working clearance around the wardrobe where possible.
• Ensure there is enough clear floor space to assemble the wardrobe flat.
• Check the available ceiling height before lifting the wardrobe upright.

Please note: Damage caused during customer self-assembly is not treated in the same way as accidental damage caused while our professional team is carrying out the assembly service.

Delivery Times for Professional Assembly

Orders with Professional Delivery & Assembly are delivered by a specialist assembly team. This can mean the delivery time is slightly longer than the standard delivery estimate shown for delivery-only orders.

Please allow approximately 6–8 weeks for orders requiring Professional Delivery & Assembly.

Assembly Within 40 Miles of BB9

If you are located within approximately 40 miles of our BB9 postcode, we may be able to provide an additional assembly service for selected wardrobes that would otherwise be supplied as Delivery Only.

Availability and pricing for this local service should be confirmed with our team before delivery.
