Half height wardrobe for a handful of clothes?

Looking for furniture for ds's odd shaped room. It will be difficult to fit a full height wardrobe and I'm also not sure he'll hang much up. His room has a huge long window so there's only 42cm either side, then there are attic doors so his bed really has to go along the other full wall. It's not a small room but it's complicated.

I saw this online and wondered if that would be enough hanging space. I guess he'll have a handful of shirts eventually and maybe some smart trousers? He's only 11 so doesn't have anything worth hanging right now really.

I figure this would fit under the window. But maybe there's not enough space to actually hang things. I find it hard to visualise space.

Or we could squeeze this in a corner between the window on one wall and the edge of the radiator on another? But again is it too small? It's from the children's range so maybe it's not designed for hanging shirts when he grows and is a teenager?

Budget is tight but we're hoping to only buy once and have it last until he leaves home.

If anyone has any recommendations or comments on these options I'd appreciate it. I can't seem to find the right terminology to google to find more small wardrobe options.

My toddler has got the first one in white and if you're only going to be hanging a few items it should be ok. The drawers are brilliant. Nice and deep so you can fit loads in

Is the Amazon one really only 18cm deep? That’s tiny! You wouldn’t have space to hang shirts if so.

We didn't fit it, but DS has something like the following pictures in his room.

It's fine - he doesn't bother much about fashion, so doesn't have too many clothes! He'd struggle if he had loads of clothes, I think.

Just make sure whatever you buy is deep enough to take a full sized coat hanger.

I’m short with dodgy balance and have a tiny bedroom
i have Ikea SUNDVIK which is perfect( I can hang everything, the shelves are adjustable)

Should have said the hanging rail is also adjustable

18 inches not cm. It's deep enough

That makes more sense, they’ve put the wrong units on their diagram.
