Whichever door you open, half the wardrobe is behind the other door. That makes interior drawers genuinely awkward — you slide a door, reach past hanging clothes, pull a drawer, then slide the door back to reach anything else. Most people give up and buy a chest of drawers instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElara puts the drawers on the front, below the sliding doors, where they open directly into the room. No door to move, nothing to reach past. It is the convenience of a chest of drawers built into the footprint of a wardrobe — and on a 62cm-deep carcase those drawers are considerably deeper than a standalone chest would give you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawer count follows the width. At \u003cstrong\u003e181cm\u003c\/strong\u003e there are two drawers beneath the left-hand door. At \u003cstrong\u003e271cm\u003c\/strong\u003e there are four, in two banks of two beneath the outer doors, with the mirrored centre door running full height between them. The 271cm arrangement is the more balanced of the two — the drawers frame the mirror symmetrically rather than sitting to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor most bedrooms this genuinely removes the need for a separate chest of drawers, which on a wall already given over to a wardrobe is floor space returned to the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Mirror and the Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne door carries a full-height standard mirror — the right-hand door at 181cm, the centre door at 271cm. It runs floor to ceiling on the door rather than being inset, so it works as a dressing mirror without anything standing separately in the room, and it visually doubles the depth of the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the front is divided into horizontal panels with slim recessed lines between them, and the drawer fronts continue that rhythm at the base — so the drawers read as part of the door composition rather than as a cabinet bolted underneath. It is the detail that stops an exterior drawer bank looking like an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree Colours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlpine White\u003c\/strong\u003e is the brightest and most adaptable. Paired with the mirror it is the option that does most for a smaller or north-facing room, and the white handle bars keep the front almost seamless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetallic Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e is a deep graphite, considerably closer to black than the name suggests — in most rooms it reads as a near-black. Against a full-height mirror that darkness is exactly right: the dark door recedes and lets the reflection lead. The handle bars are matched to the carcase. This is the boldest of the three, best against pale walls and flooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChampagne\u003c\/strong\u003e is a soft, faintly golden neutral — warmer than grey, softer than white. It comes with slate handle bars rather than matched ones, a deliberate darker accent that keeps a warm pale finish from reading as traditional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterior and Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInternally the wardrobe divides into 90cm compartments, each with a shelf and a hanging rail as standard — the interior Rauch fits across their 210cm wardrobes. On the 181cm model the compartment above the drawers has correspondingly less hanging depth than the full-height one beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 210cm high and 62cm deep it fits a standard modern bedroom without needing a specialist ceiling height, and the depth means garments hang square on the rail rather than pressing against the sliding doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/products\/passepartout-light-frame-for-elon-sliding-door-wardrobes\"\u003ePassepartout frame\u003c\/a\u003e is available as an optional extra, with or without integrated lighting. This is a surround fitted across the top and both sides of the wardrobe, closing the gap to the ceiling and walls to give a built-in, fitted appearance rather than a freestanding one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElara sits in the Rauch Orange range and is 100% Made in Germany, carrying both the Blue Angel and the Golden M — Blue Angel being an independently verified low-emission certification, which is worth having on a large piece of furniture in a room you sleep in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same wardrobe is also produced with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rauch-elara-sliding-wardrobe-with-drawers-grey-mirror\"\u003egrey tinted mirror door\u003c\/a\u003e, and with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rauch-elara-sliding-wardrobe-with-drawers-glass\"\u003eglass door\u003c\/a\u003e in place of the mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade To Order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is categorised as 'Made To Order.'

At 181cm there are two drawers beneath the left-hand door; at 271cm there are four, in two banks of two beneath the outer doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does that matter on a sliding wardrobe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause you can never see the whole interior of a sliding wardrobe at once — whichever door you open, half is behind the other. Interior drawers mean sliding a door, reaching past hanging clothes and sliding it back. Exterior drawers open straight into the room with no door to move. Elara is the only sliding wardrobe in our range that does this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow deep are the drawers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey sit within the 62cm carcase depth, so they are considerably deeper than a standalone chest of drawers would typically offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich door is mirrored?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe right-hand door on the 181cm model and the centre door on the 271cm. It is a full-height standard mirror running the length of the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich width should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n181cm gives two drawers and one mirrored door. 271cm gives four drawers in two banks either side of a mirrored centre door, which is the more symmetrical arrangement and considerably more storage. Both are 210cm high and 62cm deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is inside the wardrobe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n90cm compartments, each with one shelf and one hanging rail as standard.

Metallic Grey is a deep near-black that lets the mirror lead, and the boldest of the three. Champagne is the warmest, with slate handle bars rather than matched ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Metallic Grey actually grey?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is a deep graphite — considerably darker than the name suggests, and in most rooms it reads as a near-black. Metallic Grey is Rauch's own name for the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a Passepartout frame?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAn optional surround fitted across the top and both sides of the wardrobe, closing the gap to the ceiling and walls to give a built-in appearance. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/passepartout-light-frame-for-elon-sliding-door-wardrobes\"\u003eIt is available with or without integrated lighting.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will it take to arrive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDispatch is 8 to 10 weeks.
