I think someone here once mentioned a resource that lists recommended
dimensions for different types of furniture. Can someone post a link?

I'm especially interested in the recommended depth for an armoire that
would have a clothes-hanging rod in the usual orientation: parallel to the
back. Also the height of the clothes-hanging area. Let's assume it's for
shirts and pants folded over hangers. No dresses. No outerwear.

Thanks in advance.

I couldn't locate this other reference on my disorganized bookshelves the
first time round: "Rodale's Illustrated Cabinetmaking" by Bill Hylton. He
gives these dimensions for a generic armoire, wardrobe, schrank: 84" X 22"
X 51.5". but this height includes a tallish curved cornice. The schrank is
about the same size except for a 71" width. He discusses various
permutations of drawers/shelves/hanging as well as a few different styles.

I think I'd still try googling for dimensions and pictures unless you can
get to a furniture store which has what you want so you can measure and
photograph an example to emulate.

I think the height should be tall enough you do not see the dust on
top.
