Wardrobe disadvantages

The wardrobe offers a limited amount of space, and you usually can’t move every space.

If you need more drawers, for example, you won’t be able to add them to the wardrobe, but you can choose to put a dresser in the room.

The wardrobe is also a piece of furniture that takes up plenty of room space and, depending on the size of the room, can end up limiting circulation and making the space tight.

Closet

The closet is a large space, usually a second room that can be inside or outside the room.
