Every other wood-look wardrobe in our range – including some very good ones – uses a decor foil that reproduces grain photographically. This is actual timber: a thin layer of real oak bonded to the panel, with genuine grain, genuine texture, and the tonal variation that only comes from wood that grew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou notice it in two ways. Under raking light the surface has depth rather than a flat printed sheen, and up close the grain has texture you can feel. On a wardrobe front where everything else is a smooth painted panel, that contrast in material – not just colour – is what makes the design work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe placement is deliberate. Each door divides into four horizontal panels, with the oak set as the third one down, just below the midpoint. It is not centred and not symmetrical, and that is the point: a band low on the door draws the eye across the width of the wardrobe rather than up it, and running unbroken across both doors it reads as a single horizontal line through the whole piece. Slide the doors and the line breaks and reforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetallic Grey is a deep graphite rather than a mid grey – considerably closer to black – and it is the right ground for the oak. A pale surround would compete with the wood; a dark one throws the warm grain forward and makes the veneer the only warm element on the front. It is the version to choose if you want the oak to be a statement rather than a detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handles are finished in the carcase colour, so they sit quietly and leave the oak panel as the only interruption to the front. On the matching bedroom furniture the handles are oak, picking up the veneer instead – a nice piece of consistency if you are buying the pieces together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail to know before ordering: the base plinth is always supplied in Silk Grey. Beneath a metallic grey door that lighter band is visible at floor level – a deliberate design decision by Rauch rather than an omission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes and Interior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\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\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\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\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\u003cp\u003eThe same wardrobe is also produced in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rauch-malva-champagne-sliding-door-wardrobe-with-oak-panel\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/a\u003e.

All three have two sliding doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this wardrobe grey or black?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetallic Grey is a deep graphite rather than a mid grey – considerably closer to black, and in most rooms it reads as a near-black. That darkness is what makes the warm oak veneer stand out as it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I add soft close?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe would recommend it.
