One of my niece’s has three built in wardrobes that were built to suit suit her young family, now they are growing up, the robes need more longer hanging space and extra shelving, I reconfigured the area and built extra shelving for each robe and refitted the top shelving, giving much needed extra hanging space and more shelves.
Materials
16mm melamine
White iron on edging
fStick on covers for screws
Countersunk screws for melamine
Shelving pins
Tools
Makita tracksaw
Hot air gun for laminate edging
Drill, drill bit with countersink
Impact driver
Tape measure
Pencil
Screw driver
Pin shelf jig, homemade
various clamps
Steps
Step 1
Measure and cut melamine sheets for shelving unit
i used a Makita track saw, I was surprised with the finished cut edge, no chipping of the melamine, this track saw allows a scoring cut of 2mm, then the full cut , reducing chipping.
Step 2
Install edging, drill shelving pin holes, using home made pin shelf jig
Measure cut adjustable shelves, install edging.
Fit adjustable shelves
In
Step 3
install existing shelves and drawers.
install new shelving
install top shelf and wardrobe rail
I have also attach a short video of the wardrobes.

Hi @JoeAzza
That is an excellent upgrade to the wardrobes. It's very well planned as there is space for long items, shirt space and drawers for other clothing items. I'm sure your niece is very happy with the upgrade as it was custom made by you.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful project.
Eric
