How fitted wardrobes are priced in Dubai
Dubai workshops price made to measure wardrobes per linear metre of wall run, not per cabinet. That one convention explains most of the gap when two quotes for the same bedroom arrive AED 4,000 apart.
What one linear metre means
One linear metre is one metre of wall width, taken floor to ceiling at a standard hanging depth of 60 cm. A four metre wall is four linear metres whether it carries four doors or eight. Height matters, so ask what height the rate assumes: a run that stops at 2.4 metres uses less board than a full height run at 2.7 metres.
Why per unit pricing misleads
A price per wardrobe hides every part that changes cost. Two quotes at AED 3,500 per wardrobe can differ by 30 cm of height, a mirror front, six soft close drawers and a different hinge brand. Convert any per unit price back to a rate per linear metre before you compare it with made-to-measure wardrobes and walk-in closets priced the standard way.
Fitted wardrobe price bands in Dubai for 2026
Most built-in wardrobes Dubai residents order in 2026 sit in one of three bands. The right band depends on the room, how humid it gets and how long you plan to stay.
| Build specification | Price per linear metre (AED) | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| MDF carcass, laminate or melamine doors, standard hinges | 1,800 to 2,600 | Guest rooms, rental apartments, shorter stays |
| Plywood carcass, veneer or high pressure laminate doors, Blum or Hettich soft close | 2,600 to 3,800 | Family master bedrooms, rooms next to a bathroom |
| Lacquer or glass fronted, handleless profile, integrated LED, drawer towers | 3,800 to 6,000 and above | Villa master suites, walk in closets, feature walls |
Worked example: a three metre bedroom wall
A wall 3 metres wide and 2.7 metres high needs 3 linear metres of wardrobe. At AED 2,000 per linear metre that is AED 6,000. At AED 3,000 it is AED 9,000. Push the same wall into a lacquer and glass build with an LED strip and two internal drawer towers and you are looking at AED 15,000, which is why the internal fit-out list matters as much as the door finish.

Sliding, hinged or walk-in: how the door type shifts the price
Door type is the second biggest lever after the carcass. On the same carcass and finish, the door system alone can move a quote by AED 400 to AED 900 per linear metre.
Hinged doors
Hinged doors are the cheapest option and the easiest to adjust later. Each door needs about 60 cm of clear space to swing, so they suit a wall with room in front of it and a bedroom where the wardrobe does not face the foot of the bed.
Sliding doors
Sliding adds roughly AED 400 to AED 900 per linear metre for the top hung track, rollers and heavier panels. They are the better answer for narrow bedrooms, for rooms where the bed sits close to the wardrobe, and for anyone who wants a clean continuous front.
Made to measure walk in closets
A walk in is priced as a room rather than a wall. You pay for two or three runs plus an island or dressing table, so a typical Dubai walk in closet runs AED 25,000 to AED 70,000 and takes longer to install. If the room allows it, a walk in usually gives more storage per dirham than widening a single wardrobe wall.
What pushes fitted wardrobe cost up
Carcass material
MDF is the cheapest sheet and takes the smoothest painted finish. Plywood costs 15 to 30 percent more and resists humidity far better, which matters in Dubai where air conditioning runs all year and bathrooms often sit next to bedrooms.
Door finish
Laminate is the cheapest. Veneer, lacquer, glass and handleless profiles climb from there. A full glass fronted run can double the door cost on its own, so decide early whether you are paying for finish or for storage.
Internal fit-out
Every drawer, shoe tray, tie rack, mirror panel and LED strip adds to the rate. A typical master bedroom needs two hanging rails, one shelf run and four drawers, so agree the internals before you agree the price.
Site conditions and access
Uneven walls, bulkheads, beams and sloped ceilings all need scribe fillers or custom panels. In villa communities, building management may also ask for an NOC, a move in permit or lift protection for long panels, and those costs land on the job, not on the showroom.

What is included, what costs extra, and how long it takes
Usually included
Home measurement and site survey, design drawings with one revision round, standard hinges and handles, delivery, installation and removal of packaging.
Usually charged extra
Dismantling and disposal of the old wardrobe, LED lighting, mirror inserts, extra internal drawers above the agreed count, premium hardware upgrades, lacquer or glass doors, out of hours installation, and building access charges such as lift protection deposits or community NOC fees.
Lead time from measurement to install
- Send room photos and rough sizes on WhatsApp for an initial indication the same day.
- Book the free home measurement so the surveyor can check wall width, ceiling height and where sockets and switches fall.
- Approve the drawings. This is the point to see your wardrobe in 3D before it is built so you can check door lines and internal layout before production starts.
- Receive a fixed, itemised quote priced per linear metre.
- Production, usually 2 to 3 weeks for a standard bedroom.
- Installation in 1 to 2 days, with a walkthrough on the same day.
From measurement to handover, plan on 3 to 5 weeks. Walk in closets and lacquer builds can take 6 weeks.
How to compare fitted wardrobe quotes
Line up five facts
Put every quote on one page with the same five lines: linear metres, height, carcass material, door finish, hardware brand and warranty length. If a supplier will not give a rate per linear metre, the numbers cannot be compared, and that alone tells you what you need to know.
Three red flags
- A firm price quoted from photos alone, with no site visit.
- An unnamed hardware brand and no written warranty period on the quote.
- A large upfront cash payment with no written scope, drawing or delivery date. A 50 percent deposit is normal in Dubai. Full payment before installation is not.
Then choose on the finish
Price gets you to the shortlist, but the finish and the internals decide how the room feels ten years from now. You can view recent fitted wardrobe projects in Dubai to see the door styles and colour ranges on offer, and the Google rating of 5.0 from 22 reviews is worth a look before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
How much do fitted wardrobes cost in Dubai?
Fitted wardrobes in Dubai cost between AED 1,800 and AED 6,000 per linear metre, depending on carcass material, door finish and internal fit-out. A three metre bedroom wall usually lands between AED 6,000 and AED 9,000 installed. Walk in closets are priced as a room and often run AED 25,000 to AED 70,000.
What is the wardrobe cost per linear metre in Dubai?
Standard MDF carcasses with laminate doors run AED 1,800 to 2,600 per linear metre. Plywood carcasses with veneer or high pressure laminate doors run AED 2,600 to 3,800. Lacquer, glass or handleless builds with Blum or Hettich hardware run AED 3,800 to 6,000 and above.
How long does it take to get fitted wardrobes in Dubai?
Plan on 3 to 5 weeks from home measurement to installation. Drawings and approval take 3 to 5 working days, production takes 2 to 3 weeks and installation takes 1 to 2 days for a standard bedroom. Lacquer and walk in projects can take up to 6 weeks.
Is plywood better than MDF for wardrobes in Dubai?
Plywood costs 15 to 30 percent more but handles Dubai humidity better and holds screws more firmly, so it suits master bedrooms and rooms next to a bathroom. MDF gives a smoother finish under painted and lacquer doors and is perfectly fine for guest rooms and rental properties.
Do sliding wardrobes cost more than hinged wardrobes?
Yes. Sliding doors add roughly AED 400 to AED 900 per linear metre on the same carcass because of the top hung track, rollers and heavier panels. Hinged doors are cheaper to build and easier to adjust, but they need about 60 cm of clear space in front.
What warranty comes with fitted wardrobes in Dubai?
Most Dubai suppliers offer 1 to 3 years on the carcass and doors, and branded hardware carries its own terms from Blum or Hettich. Ask for the warranty in writing, with separate periods listed for carcass, doors, hardware and installation. A verbal promise is not a warranty.
