Amazing service, our builder personally came over and measured our space, was in constant communication around timelines and finishings. Everything was delivered, set up and put in place with great care. Were extremely happy with our wardrobes and would absolutely recommend Arthur and the team to anyone.

Period wardrobes installed the most beautiful floor-to-ceiling wardrobes either side of the fireplaces in my two bedrooms. Arthur and Des were prompt in replying to my enquiry and understood exactly what I wanted. They were very helpful and detailed in explaining my options and the process to measure and install the robes. My house is a single front Victorian cottage circa 1910 and Arthur took so much care to make sure the robes fit perfectly and seamlessly. Their personal service and having Arthur, the owner of the business, designing and installing the wardrobes gives you a level of service and

Highly recommend. Arthur and the Period Wardrobes team installed 2 built in wardrobes for us and we are delighted with the results, and everything about the process. Arthur is friendly, professional, and accommodating. This work is in his blood and his old school attention to detail and high standards are evident in the flawless results.

Can highly recommend Period Wardrobes. The service from Arthur and his team was amazing. Having a period home Arthur designed a wardrobe that suited the house and nothing was too much trouble. Turnaround time from quoting to installation was very quick and even more so since Arthur and Sash had to travel to Bendigo. Very competitive pricing and excellent quality and exceeded my expectations. Had searched for a long time to find a company that would design and install a wardrobe that would suit my house, so glad I found Arthur and his team at Period Wardrobes, I now have the wardrobe of my dreams

Highly recommend Period Wardrobes. Had 2 installed for a couple of bedrooms. They look great and are very functional. Arthur designed the internals to be flexible and kept me updated during the process. The time from quote to installation was reasonable and I'd happily use again. Mary

I searched high and low for wardrobes that would suit my period home and once I found Arthur I knew he was going to look after me very well. Taking notice of my period features in the home and designing something to suit. No other company provides this service. They just have standard designs. Period wardrobes have a compelling price position too and no pushy salesmen. The painters he recommended also did a marvellous job. Thanks Arthur to you and your team.
