I don't want to sound smart ellicky. But if you are going to build
this for yourself walk in to your closet and measure the closet rod
from the wall and double that figure plus an inch or two. Measure
the length of clothing that will be in the piece you will be building
and again add a few inches.


What am I missing here Leon - why double the measured distance from the wall
to the rod? Can't figure out the sense in that.



Wall to rod is just over half the width of a coat hanger... Remember
the coat hanger protrudes out from the rod also, about the same distance
of the rod to wall. This is only if you want to close the door on the
armoire.
