How the sizes are worked out
- Sides 2300 high; top, bottom and plinth = 1800 − 36 = 1764 between them.
- The two dividers stand on the bottom and run up to the top: 2300 − 80 − 36 = 2184.
- Inner drawers have no own fronts: the door covers them. Their slides sit on 50 mm spacer battens so the boxes clear the door hinges.
- Drawer boxes: 550 mm long (slide length), front and back 478 = opening − 2 × 13 mm slide clearance − 2 × board.
- The doors share the width with 3 mm gaps; the middle door is slightly narrower (591) because it covers half of each divider.
Cutting plan on 2440 × 1220 sheets
Laid out by the CutRun calculator with a 3 mm saw kerf and 10 mm trimmed off the factory edges.
62 % of the board ends up in the furniture. The last sheet has a large piece left over — plan extra shelves, a drawer or a second small cabinet into the same order.
Other sizes on 2440 × 1220 sheets
Same construction, worked out by the calculator for other common sizes (width × height × depth, mm):

| 2000 × 2300 × 600 | 10 | 15.71 m² | 39.0 m |
| 2100 × 2400 × 600 | 10 | 16.67 m² | 40.8 m |
1500 × 2200 × 600 is the largest size in this table that still needs only 6 sheets (72 % used).
Assembly order
- Band the visible edges: doors all round, carcass and shelves on the front edge.
- Build the two drawer boxes first and check them for square.
- Assemble the carcass lying down: bottom and plinth, dividers, top. Nail on the HDF back to square it.
- Screw the spacer battens and slides inside the middle section, then insert the drawers and the shelves.
- Stand it up, fit the rails, hang the doors and adjust the gaps.
Questions
How many sheets do I need for a 3-door wardrobe?
A 1800 × 2300 × 600 mm version in 18 mm board needs 8 sheets of 2440 × 1220 mm: 14.70 m² of board and about 37.5 m of edge banding. The 3 mm HDF back is cut from a separate thin sheet.
Why are there spacer battens behind the inner drawers?
A drawer behind a door would hit the hinge cups and the door edge when it slides out. Spacer battens bring the slides inward so the drawer passes the hinges.
Can a 1.8 m wardrobe be cut from two sheets?
Not with drawers and three doors: the doors alone are over 2.2 m long. Check the table above for the sheet count per size and sheet.
Need a different size? Open this design in the cabinet builder, type your own width, height and depth or change shelves, drawers and doors — the cut list and the drawing update as you go. Then send it to the calculator for your own sheet size.
