Type of cabinets and possibilities

• Are all your wardrobes and cabinets fully made to measure?

  Of course! Our name says it all. In Dutch we're called maatkasten online, which can be translated into 'made to measure furniture online' and that is exactly what we sell. Every single piece of our furniture is fully made to measure so we do not use annoying standard measurements.

• What types of bespoke furniture can I design?

  You can design any bespoke furniture that you can imagine! Whether you choose sloping sides or sloping back panels, standing or floating, fitted or freestanding furniture, the choice is yours!

  We will be pleased to make these types of bespoke furniture for you:

  • Bespoke open wardrobe
  • Bespoke storage cupboard
  • Bespoke chest of drawers
  • Bespoke TV unit
  • Bespoke stair cupboard
  • Bespoke storage bench

  • and much more

  Alternatively, you can combine different types to create your ideal wall unit or interior layout. You're the designer!

• What is a freestanding cabinet?

  A freestanding cabinet is not connected to the wall on the left and right sides. The cabinet is nicely finished on both sides with end panels.

• What is a semi-freestanding cabinet?

  A semi-freestanding cabinet connects to the wall on only one side. The other side is freestanding and is finished with an end panel.

• What is a floating cabinet?

  A floating cabinet is attached to the wall and so it does not rest on the floor. We provide all of the fittings to attach the cabinet to the wall. If you would like to fit the cabinet higher up, we can apply an attractive finish to the part underneath that is visible. Make sure that you tell us about this during the ordering process.

• Can I have a corner unit made?

  Yes! Our configuration tool will help you to instantly design an L-shaped unit.

• Can I design a cabinet that is not shown in the configuration tool?

  Email a sketch of your dream cabinet with your preferred layout and dimensions to info@maatkastenonline.be. We’ll be pleased to look at how we can provide you with further help!

• Do you also make standard cabinets?

  No, we don’t like standard cabinets. All of our cabinets are made to measure according to your requirements. The configuration tool lets you choose the perfect size, colour and handles. We make the cabinet, and you assemble it yourself.

• Do you make kitchen cabinets?

  No, we do not make traditional kitchen cabinets. That’s because kitchens usually consist of various standard modules which house the appliances. However, if you would like an additional storage cabinet or a nice storage bench for the kitchen, then you've definitely come to the right place!

• Do you make bathroom cabinets?

  Yes, but your bathroom needs to have sufficient ventilation for our cabinets. If your bathroom is very humid, it’s better to choose a different type of cabinet. Our bespoke furniture works perfectly as a toilet cabinet or as a storage cupboard if you do not position it right next to the shower or the bath. Would you like to create a sink cabinet in our configuration tool? You can do this but make sure that you include the openings for the wash basin and the drainage pipe.

• Can I take my cabinet or wardrobe with me when I move?

  You cannot take built-in furniture with you when you move house. If you already know that you want to give your bespoke furniture a new home in the future, choose freestanding cabinets with two finished sides. It’s easy to take these anywhere.

• Which accessories can I choose for my cabinet or wardrobe?

  Our priority is durable, bespoke joinery. That’s why we intentionally keep our range of accessories small, but of an extremely high quality. You’ll find accessories such as a pull-down clothes rails, clothes rails, shelves and of course the award-winning Ta’Or Box drawers.

• Why can’t I choose sliding doors?

  We intentionally only offer hinged doors. You can install them quickly and they will retain their shape for ever!

• Do you offer the option of mirrored doors?

  We do not supply mirrored doors, but feel free to add a mirror yourself to one of the doors. Tell us about your preferences during the ordering process and our production team will add an extra reinforced hinge to this door.

• Can I provide lighting in my wardrobe?

  Do you want to add LED lighting to your custom wardrobe? Absolutely possible!
  If you arrange the lighting yourself, we will create a special cutout inside your wardrobe, making it easy for you to install the lighting.

  When placing your order, please mention that you'd like a cutout for LED lighting. Provide the dimensions of your LED strip and specify on which side(s) of the wardrobe you want the lighting.

  For example:

  LED lighting:

  • Depth: 10 mm
  • Width: 18 mm

  Placement:

  • Double module: left and right
  • Single module: left

  The additional cost for this cutout is €12 excluding VAT per side*. You take care of the lighting, and we'd be happy to create the cutout for you.

  *Please note that this price may vary. Contact us at info@maatkastenonline.be for the most recent price information.
