Editors Review

This charming little bedroom wardrobe made from the good folks at Prepac can be used either as a traditional wardrobe closet or as a modern entertainment armoire. The top 2 doors open up into a storage space large enough to accomodate a 24 inch TV or simple for storing your coats, shirts, and jackets on the included closet rod.

One perk we like to see very much in our wardrobes that they got right with this design: the inside shelf of the “TV” or wardrobe cabinet is adjustable. Thank you!

Below this you’ll find two drawers that move easily on roller glides. This convenient storage area is perfect for keeping your things close at hand but out of the site. If you’re going to be using this as an entertainment armoire, consider these drawers a most excellent spot to keep up with the kids video games, DVD’s, and other electronic toys. If it’ll stay a wardrobe, then perfect: here you keep socks and underwear, as well as folded clothes or blankets, nearby in a fresh, clean storage area.

The bottom line: This Sonoma Maple Bedroom Wardrobe Armoire retails for a over $700. Here we can get it you for far, far below this, typically under $300 and usually only a little more than $200. Take a look at the latest deals over on the left and decide for yourself if you want to save hundreds of dollars on this armoire!

Adesso Turner Mirror Wardrobe, Black

benq — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 18:30:37 +0000

Mirror Wardrobe Combo

Includes Full Length Mirror

5 Spacious Storage Cubbie Shelves

Free Shipping!

Full length mirror revolves on a rectangular disk to reveal a shelved wardrobe on the reverse side. Four stationary shelves provide five storage cubbies. Available in black wood veneer finish.

Editors Review

What else can we say other than Adesso makes a lovely mirror wardrobe?

Simply put, we are crazy about this mirror/wardrobe combo.

The addition of a full length mirror cover to a wardrobe makes perfect sense. You’ll find yourself using this mirror every single day as you get ready in the morning. Open it up and you’ll find a decent amount of storage space behind the mirror. Instead of offering a tall closet space with a closet rod – the type of design you’ll often find in a free standing wardrobe closet – Adesso opted to break up their storage into smaller, cubed shelves. Including the bottom shelf, this translates into 5 storage cubes or 5 shelves. Each one stands slightly over a foot tall (13 inches height), almost a foot deep (10.5 inches depth), and a little bit more than a foot wide (15.5 inches width).

While we love the look and feel of this mirror wardrobe, one nice addition would have been adjustable shelves. The 4 shelves inside are stationary and so there size is fixed. Making them adjustable would have allowed those of us who wanted some extra space for a thin hanging wardrobe to move the top shelf down, install a closet rod, and create a bit of hanging closet space.

All things considered though, this design works perfectly in every other respect, and looks fantastic on top of that.

Editors Review

This beautiful armoire hardly needs any introduction. Look no further than the picture to the left and you can see that this is an amazing piece of storage furniture for your living room, dining room, or bedroom.

One catch: if you need a wardrobe closet armoire, this is not your item. It’s more suited for storing linens, blankets, or folded clothes than hanging clothes. Why? Take a look at the second photo below and you’ll notice that the storage inside is not like your normal closet armoire with a closet rod and a spacious area tall enough for hanging clothes. Instead you get 6 cube-like storage boxes inside behind the top double doors, as well as a storage area inside the blanket bottom drawer.

Now that being said that, this is one of the most beautiful storage armoires at this price offering this kind of storage.Looking for an excuse to shell out the dollars for this amazing armoire? Take your pick below:

1. Eco Friendly
This South Shore armoire is made with eco-friendly composite woods (as certified by something called the Forest Stewardship Council)

2. Free Warranty
South Shore offers a 5 year warranty on this unit. Did I mention this is a free 5 year warranty?

3. Part of The One Step Collection from South Shore

Editors Review

PrePac’s white wardrobe cabinet is perfect for someone who needs a solid, straight forward wardrobe storage closet.

Sound enticing? We think so too. There’s a certainly a market for a good basic wardrobe cabinet and PrePac found it when they made this unit.

You get exactly what you need here: a stand alone closet with ample room to hang your goods. There’s nothing fancy here – no extra antique shelves, no sliding wardrobe doors – just good old fashion closet storage in a nice white wardrobe cabinet.

The Elite white wardrobe cabinet has a simple closet rod inside for hanging your clothes and goods. You get nearly two feet of storage space from front to back – i.e. this cabinet is about 20 inches deep. That should easily provide room for hanging your clothes without any problem. It stands about 5 and half feet tall so just about anyone can use this unit and reach what they’re looking for.

Another perk about Prepac’s wardrobe cabinet: it can be added on to. PrePac make a variety of additional storage cabinets you can place on top of or next to this one to create a larger, seamless storage area. This is fantastic for someone wanting to make an amazingly large closet storage area or to use this for an entirely non-wardrobe purposes, such as a garage storage area.

A Baby Armoire Can Be The Center Piece Of Baby’s Room

GuestPoster — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 05:00:10 +0000

While the new addition to the family is on the way, Dads and Moms often notice themselves feeling a combination of exhilaration, angst and expectation. Preparing for a new baby’s arrival is both an internal mental game and external course of action. In terms of the external and creating the perfect environment for the new baby’s room, parents generally take pleasure in the décor portion and go all out in making the most excellent space for the little bundle of joy! And it’s not that hard with remarkable pieces like baby armoires and awesome contemporary decor that’s so easy to find these days: the nursery will be a baby paradise and a parent’s whimsical dream land!

Forget About Contemporary Decor For a Moment – Let’s Look at Baby Armoires

Apart from paint colors, decor style and decorative accents, picking the best suited pieces of furniture is an extremely essential aspect of designing the perfect nursery. Baby armoires are spectacular for decorating and on top of that, the storage offered will be available to use as your baby goes from days to months to even a few years old and beyond!

(I know, I know, slow down – no one wants to think of their baby growing up just yet!)

Despite the fact that thinking that far into the future might not seem like a priority, it’s wise to take into account that the better the quality of baby furniture armoires, the longer the piece will last and the further use both parents and baby will have from it. Additionally, consider design elements such as doors, glass panes, shelving and drawers - all of which will help the piece be the most useful kind of storage to have around in the home for all those “extra things” that aren’t so extra and really just need a specific storage space to go in.

Numerous baby furniture armoires can easily be purchased online – two of our favorites being pictures on the left actually – and in boutique household furniture stores as well as in the bigger furniture stores, sometimes for a good price and sometimes for a not so good price.

There are genuine wood, wood-veneer and even amazingly customized or partially-customized painted baby armoires!

This last type baby furniture armoires are painted by artists and can include everything from mythical drawings to circus animals. Moms and dads can purchase unfinished armoires and have them custom painted or paint them themselves.

If you are shopping online for baby furniture armoires, be sure to take note of dimensions and check the space in advance of buying the unit. Granted, you can almost certainly return it but no one wants to deal with such as a hassle, not to mention disappointment, of opening up your new babies armoire and discovering it’s the wrong size for the bedroom!

Lastly, we offer to you an additional yet essential suggestion regarding safety. Frequently, the taller height of a piece of furniture, the more top heavy it becomes. This unfortunately means that there is more of a probability of tipping if you get a very tall wardrobe armoire. As soon as kids begin to stand they have a propensity to bring their bodies up by means of using drawers and doors and other things that are above them. For protection, it’s a smart idea to attach the armoire to a stud within your wall.

White Wardrobe Armoire Closets to Compliment the Modern Bedroom

Anna — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 09:46:11 +0000

When we generally think of armoires, a picture of traditional stained French style armoire will pop into our heads. Shockingly enough, not all bedroom sets have stained oak furniture or are antique hand-me-downs. Believe it or not, there are bedrooms sets that this traditional look would clash with and be totally unacceptable. For those with a more modern look, perhaps a white or black armoire would do nicely. Here is a quick look at a few white armoires to fill a variety of needs.

Cotton Candy Pure White Armoire, South Shore Furniture, $300
South Shore Furniture has several models available in this price range and color, but this one is recommended mostly because of the lower drawer space. If the wardrobe armoire is being used solely for clothing storage, this will more than do the job. It features an inside mirrored door with large shelving units that are ideal for sweater storage, a side hanging closet and 2 large pull-out drawers on the bottom of the cabinet. It is pretty tough to beat for right around $300.

Vista White Armoire, Sorelle, $770
This is obviously a much more expensive model, but it is quite stunning. Designed in traditional French Fashion, it can be used solely for clothing or in combination with a TV stored in the top compartment. The drawers are high and deep and the hanging space is perfect for a large television or to hold all of your finer garments. If shopping for children look elsewhere, as this is definitely an adult piece of furniture.

Children’s Products Shaker White Armoire, Delta, $200
White is a very popular color for children’s rooms and it would be unjust to leave them totally out. Delta has a simple, yet very cute white armoire that is perfect for the kids. It features three pull-out drawers on the bottom and actually sacrifices very little space in the top compartment to make this happen. The space that is available is perfect for small TV or to house some action figures or dolls.

Knowing full well that white will not go with all modern styled bedrooms, tomorrow will feature some of the best black armoires. This is something that you will not want to miss because these pieces are absolutely stunning.

How to Save Money On a Good Yet Cheap Jewelry Armoire

benq — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:30:52 +0000

A nice jewelry armoire is one of those things that makes a woman smile; oh, she knows it’s a necessary item, and that’s all part of the fun. It’s a luxury to have such a piece of furniture for housing her jewelry, and shows that someone in her life that she deserved both a wonderful collection of jewelry and the rightful means of holding it.

But what if you want to buy your wife a lovely jewelry armoire but the funds don’t allow for an expensive one? What if you need to buy a cheap jewelry armoire under $200, for example?

Let’s approach the answer to that question in two ways. First, we will offer some ways to find a high priced jewelry armoire for a cheap price. Next, we will actually detail some cheap jewelry armoires under $200 that meet our quality standards – cheap jewelry armoires that are not super expensive yet are nice enough to certainly put a smile on your wife’s face and probably a nice kiss on yours right after she sees it.

Part I:
Where To Go To Save Money
Buying Your Jewelry Armoire

There are a few trusted sources for saving money on armoire furniture and other antique style jewelry chests. Don’t ever lose your common sense though when tracking down an item using these methods – there are unscrupulous sellers out there who will rip you off if you let them. For the most part though of course will find good honest people who will be happy to sell you a cheap jewelry armoire.

Who are these people and where these sellers?

1. Look at your local Craigslist.

Craigslist is the most wide reaching – and entirely free – classified ads site in the world. Because it costs no money to either place an advertisement to sell an item, nor does it cost any money to respond to such advertisements, there are no hidden fees or extra built in costs included in the price. It also means that most of the sellers are people just like you and me. Looking at your cities Craiglist site (and most every city has one) is a great way to find someone who has a good jewelry armoire for sale that they will let go for a respectable yet cheap price. This is one of the easiest ways to save money on an awesome armoire.

2. Visit your local antique furniture stores.

Buying from an antique furniture dealer can go either way when it comes to saving money. By virtue of the fact that an item is an antique, the price goes up. However, antique dealers often have a huge inventory of all types of armoire furniture – be it antique wardrobe closets, a new wardrobe armoire, or a plethora of jewelry armoires. This means you may be able to leverage your buying power with them in your favor. This is a method that, in order to save you money, you need to be able to wheel and deal and haggle over that price. Don’t be scared to make an offer! You might just walk out with a brilliant antique jewelry armoire at a respectable price.

3. Look online for a bargain price.

Buying a jewelry armoire online is the most convenient of these three methods. However, that convenience “pays off” in the sense that you’ll probably not save as much money as you would on a cheap jewelry armoire had you taken the time and effort to buy through Craigslist or through placing an offer at an antique shop. But no matter – you can definitely save money buying an armore online. In fact, we will now get to part two of this article and look at some specific jewelry armoires you can buy online for under $200. Sound good?

Part II:
Three Nice Jewelry
Armoires Under $200

Short of haggling over the price of an armoire with a Craiglist seller or an antique store in your town, you can simply buy a armoire for jewelry that right off the bat costs under $200. Let’s now take a look at 3 nice jewelry armoires you can buy online at a good price – yet still get a good armoire for storing those lovely rings, necklaces, and bracelets that you’ve given your wife over the years!

The Black and Gold Jewelry Armoire
From the Powell Company

This solid wood, 35 pound jewelry armoire from Powell stands 37 inches tall, 13 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. It’s got 7 drawers for holding jewelry – and both the top of the armoire and the sides open up to reveal additional room for more! The total cost of such an armoire? Only $120.

Did we mention that the top opens up into a mirror, too? Very nice! Take a look:

Cappucino Jewelry Armoire
from Amazon

This striking jewelry armoire is one of my favorites! For only – again – just $120, you get a jewelry armoire that is simply gorgeous that your wife or daughter is going to love using to hold her jewelry collection. This 32 inch tall modern style jewelry armoire features a cappucino finish and more than enough room to store lots of jewelry. You’ll find 5 felt lined storage drawers offer comfortable space for those rings and earrings, whereas the sides open up for hanging jewelry, and top opens up to reveal a cute little mirror for the owner to try on all those items in style.

Wall Hanging Black Jewelry Armoire
from Amazon

Here we have something a bit different than the other armoires featured above: a black jewelry armoire that actually hangs from the wall. As you can see the picture, it creates a very elegant look for the jewelry armoire to be designed in such a way that it attaches to the wall, providing both space for her jewelry collection without really taking up any space in the bedroom! For that matter, you could even install this armoire in the closet or bathroom if you wanted.

Just about every area here that could possibly open into a storage spot or drawer does – there’s plenty of room here for everything!

Another perk? It’s shipped fully assembled. Total cost? $200.

Final Notes

Buying a cheap jewelry armoire may take a bit of extra effort than simply throwing out the big bucks to get a $500 one. With a little patience and determination though, it’s definitely possible to spend much less than that and still get an item that everyone will be happy about. For all the methods described above, I think most people will get their moneys worth either buying the Cappucino Jewelry Armoire, straight off the bat brand new for only $120, OR going the route of finding a great deal from Craigslist or your local antique furniture dealer.

Best of luck! Now go buy something that will make your wife proud to store her jewelry in, OK?

A Beautiful Wall Mounted Locking Jewelry Armoire

benq — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:00:33 +0000

The creativity behind all the different armoire styles leads to some very unique, nice looking, and straight up clever designs for jewelry armoire.

Here we have a fantastic looking armoire that shows a blend of different styles and features, such as:

An armoire designed for jewelry storage
A mirror that run the full length of the armoire

All put together in a classic yet modern armoire design

No matter than if you’re simply looking for an armoire to store your jewelry collection, or the ability to do so but not take up any more cabine space, or the ability to do both these things while at the same time keeping the jewelry hidden away behind lock and key – well, this is a jewelry armoire that does it all!

Here’s a nice shot showing off it’s simple elegance as it’s mounted to the wall:

And here’s a second shot showing how easy it is to store many different types of jewelry with this armoire:

The only drawback to a jewelry armoire such as this is the lack of drawers or shelves. True, it will still hold items such as earrings and rings (see the picture above again), but it will take a moment longer to both put in and take out such items behind a vertical locked door.

However, this is a small price to pay for a nice oak armoire such as this, with a full length mirror (roughly 43 inches tall and 9 inches wide), a lock to protect your items, and a distressed oak finish complete wirth wormwood imperfections to make it even more “down to earth” and unique.

Total cost?

This locking jewelry armoire is selling on Ebay right now for just $200.

What Classifies a Wardrobe Armoire as French/European Style?

Anna — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 10:16:47 +0000

There are many different types of armoires on the market today. Some are designed specifically for use as a wardrobe armoire and others are made for different purposes such as the jewelry armoire or as an entertainment cabinet. So what classifies a wardrobe armoire as French/European style?

One of the reasons a wardrobe armoire is considered French/European is the way it is made and constructed. The classic French style of wardrobe closet will feature multiple drawers on the bottom of the armoire and a hanging closet as the top portion. While many people today will use this to house their televisions, it is actually meant as a place to hang their finer clothing.

Remember, when armoires were first created, homes more than likely did not have the closet space that is present in the houses that we live in today. Because of this, these large cabinets were used as a way to keep clothing organized and clean. Over the years, higher end models were made and actually considered a type of status symbol. The fancier and more expensive the armoire, the more likely that the owner came from class and wealth.

They can either be made in a simple style but typically they have carvings and embellishments that are made out of wood to decorate them. These can be purchased either as antiques or brand new ones are being made in the same French/European styles that were so popular centuries ago. Those who have a new one can easily make theirs look like an antique with just a few tricks that they can find online.

When looking for a wardrobe armoire that fits the French/European style, look for those that are made of wood. They should also have drawers on the bottom with a cabinet at the top. New ones can be made to look antique with just a few tricks that can be found online which are quite easy to do.
