Rather than a band across the doors, one entire sliding door is faced in oak – roughly half the front of the wardrobe, in actual timber. On a 271cm model that is around 135cm of continuous real wood grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference from a printed foil is obvious at this scale. A decor foil repeats: look along a large panel and the same knots and figuring recur at regular intervals, because the pattern is photographic. Real veneer does not repeat – the grain runs the length of the door as it grew, with the tonal variation and texture of timber. Across half a wardrobe front, that is not a subtle distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with metallic grey it becomes a genuinely bold piece. Metallic Grey is a deep graphite, considerably closer to black than to silver, so the wardrobe splits into two halves that could hardly be more different: one warm, textured and organic, the other dark, smooth and flat. It is the most striking configuration in the Malva range, and the one that reads unmistakably as a design decision rather than a finish choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handles are finished in the carcase colour, so they sit quietly and leave the material contrast to do the work. On the matching bedroom furniture the handles are oak, picking up the veneer instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail to know before ordering: the base plinth is always supplied in Silk Grey. Beneath the doors that lighter band is visible at floor level – a deliberate design decision by Rauch rather than an omission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes and Interior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree widths are offered, all with two sliding doors. \u003cstrong\u003e181cm\u003c\/strong\u003e divides into two compartments of 90cm – the standard proportion and the right choice for a normal double bedroom. \u003cstrong\u003e226cm\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps two compartments but opens them to 112.5cm each, which is unusually generous: wide enough that a full season's coats sits in one section without crowding. \u003cstrong\u003e271cm\u003c\/strong\u003e divides into three compartments of 90cm behind the two doors, which suits two people sharing better than two very wide sections would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery compartment has a storage shelf and a hanging rail, both adjustable in height, so the balance between hanging and folded storage is yours to set. Further interior accessories are available from the Rauch range if you want to build it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe would recommend adding \u003cstrong\u003esoft close\u003c\/strong\u003e to the sliding doors. It stops a door being pushed shut hard and landing with a bang, drawing it closed quietly over the last few centimetres instead – and beyond the feel of it, taking that impact out of daily use is what keeps sliding doors running true over years rather than gradually dropping out of alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMalva is 100% Made in Germany and carries 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. It is backed by a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same configuration is also produced with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rauch-malva-champagne-oak-veneer-sliding-door-wardrobe\"\u003eChampagne door\u003c\/a\u003e in place of the metallic grey.

All carry oak handles.\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.'

Malva is the only Rauch collection that uses real oak veneer rather than a wood-effect print – a layer of actual timber bonded to the door, with genuine grain and texture. Across a full door the difference is obvious: a printed foil repeats the same knots and figuring at regular intervals, whereas real veneer runs the length of the door as it grew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the front arranged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne sliding door is faced entirely in oak veneer, the other entirely in metallic grey – so roughly half the wardrobe front is real wood. On the 271cm model that is around 135cm of continuous oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I choose which side the oak door is on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause both doors slide, the arrangement changes as you use the wardrobe – the oak moves across the front rather than staying fixed to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich width should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n181cm gives two compartments of 90cm, the right size for a standard double bedroom. 226cm keeps two compartments but widens them to 112.5cm each – more generous per section, and better if you want long uninterrupted hanging. 271cm divides into three compartments of 90cm, which suits two people sharing. All three have two sliding doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this wardrobe grey or black?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMetallic Grey is a deep graphite rather than a mid grey – considerably closer to black, and in most rooms it reads as a near-black. Against a full oak door that darkness produces the strongest material contrast in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I add soft close?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWe would recommend it. Beyond the feel of a door closing quietly rather than banging, it takes the impact out of daily use, which is what keeps sliding doors running true over years rather than gradually dropping out of alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour are the handles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe wardrobe handles are metal in the carcase colour. The matching bedroom furniture uses oak handles instead, picking up the veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour is the base plinth?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSilk Grey. Beneath the doors this is visible as a lighter band at floor level. It is a design feature of the range rather than a fault or a variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is inside the wardrobe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEvery compartment has one storage shelf and one hanging rail, both adjustable in height.
