Which do you think is better (for a teens bedroom):
three units 50cm wide with three doors
or
two 75cm with sliding doors?

I dislike the sliding doors so I’d avoid them.

I would personally go for 2 x 75cm with hinged doors. If you dislike the 25cm doors that are available then I’d go for 1 x 100cm plus 1 x 50cm with hinged doors. Final option would be 3 x 50cm doors.

I really don’t like sliding doors so would go with the 3 x 50’s. That’s what teen DS has.

1 x 100 and 1 x 50, with hinged doors.

After just fitting some Pax wardrobes with sliding doors and with hinges... The hinges were so much easier to fit. I'd deffo go with hinges. Sliding doors were hard work (as a single woman to fit)

Oh that's interesting, I thought everyone would say sliding doors are more practical! I have a teen DS who is larger than me and can hold a door if necessary 😀

Another not keen on sliding doors.

I have both, sliding doors works in smaller bedroom, hinged in more space.
