Purpose and description
Enable an AI agent to recognise a wardrobe as clothing-storage furniture, assess its capacity and condition, and decide how it can be placed, loaded, accessed, maintained or moved.
A wardrobe is an enclosed item of storage furniture, freestanding or fitted, designed primarily to hold clothing on hanging rails, shelves, or in drawers.
It can be Match a wardrobe's compartments and hanging space to an intended clothing-storage requirement.; Plan placement using the cabinet envelope, opening clearances and installation interfaces.; Assign garments and accessories to compartments within documented component load limits.; Inspect and adjust doors, drawers, rails and shelves using instructions appropriate to the unit.; Identify conditions requiring unloading, restricted use, cleaning or repair.; Plan emptying, disconnection, disassembly and movement using the wardrobe's construction and support dependencies..
Distinguishing features
Its primary intended use is storing clothing or personal accessories, rather than merely being a cupboard that happens to contain clothes.
It provides a cabinet enclosure around its storage volume, distinguishing it from an open garment rack.
Its storage arrangements accommodate clothing through rails, shelves, drawers or a combination; a hanging rail is evidence of use, not a mandatory defining feature.
For fitted examples, the identified object is the storage cabinet assembly, rather than the entire room or architectural recess.
The physical furniture sense applies: references to outfits, a person's clothing collection or theatrical costume management do not identify this thing.
Scope
+ Enclosed furniture principally intended to store clothing and personal accessories
+ Carcass, base, doors, hanging rails, shelves, drawers and their connections
+ Internal usable space, garment accommodation and supported loads
+ Placement, access clearance, levelling and attachment to the surrounding building
+ Condition, operation, repair and relocation of wardrobe units
- Garments and accessories as possessions with their own condition and care requirements
- Walk-in closets and dressing rooms as architectural spaces
- Open garment racks lacking a cabinet enclosure
- General-purpose cupboards, chests of drawers and luggage as neighbouring furniture or container kinds
- Product listings, product lines and commercial offers as separate records
- Building walls, floors and electrical circuits except at their interfaces with the wardrobe
Characteristics
- Installation form
- freestanding | fitted | other | unresolved Determines which supports and building connections must be understood before installation or removal.
- External envelope
- width × depth × height in mm, with measurement boundaries recorded Supports placement and transport planning without confusing exterior dimensions with usable storage space.
- Access arrangement
- hinged doors | sliding doors | folding doors | curtain | open front | mixed Determines opening clearance and which compartments can be reached at the same time.
- Usable compartment dimensions
- clear width, depth and height in mm for each compartment Establishes whether intended garments and storage inserts fit.
- Hanging accommodation
- usable rail length and unobstructed garment drop in mm, by rail Distinguishes room for short garments from room for long garments and reveals interference with shelves or drawers.
- Component load limits
- documented kg per rail, shelf or drawer, with load distribution and source; unknown where undocumented Supports loading decisions without inferring strength from size or appearance.
- Construction and finish
- materials and finishes recorded separately for panels, edges, back, rails and fittings Informs cleaning, moisture assessment and repair compatibility.
- Support and restraint interfaces
- wardrobe-to-floor supports and wardrobe-to-wall or adjoining-cabinet connections Identifies what maintains alignment and stability and what must be addressed before moving the unit.
- Access mechanism condition
- operable | binding | loose | derailed | obstructed | failed | unassessed, by mechanism Determines whether doors and drawers can be used or require adjustment or repair.
- Storage environment condition
- observed moisture, condensation, odour, mould or pest evidence, with location and assessment date Helps determine whether clothing storage should continue and what investigation or cleaning is needed.

Clothing cabinet identity Establishes the furniture sense, intended storage role and physical extent of the wardrobe.
Wardrobe can name furniture, clothing collections or rooms, and clothing cupboards overlap with neighbouring furniture kinds.
Furniture sense
Tests whether the referent is an enclosed clothing-storage furniture kind.
Primary clothing-storage role
Record evidence of intended clothing storage without treating current contents as sufficient proof.
- What intended use and physical arrangements identify this as wardrobe furniture? definition
- What distinguishes this case from a general cupboard, garment rack or chest of drawers? boundary
Cabinet extent
Separates the wardrobe assembly from its room, contents and commercial identity.
Fitted and modular boundaries
Identify which connected carcasses, fronts, infill pieces and supports belong to the wardrobe assembly.
- Which cabinet sections and fitted components constitute this wardrobe, and which are building fabric? boundary
- Which drawings, labels or installation records establish the assembly's configuration? provenance
Garment accommodation Describes usable hanging and folded-clothing storage rather than relying on gross cabinet volume.
Wardrobe suitability depends on garment shape, access and compartment geometry, which exterior dimensions cannot establish.
Hanging space
Records the space available to hang clothing without interference.
Rail and garment clearance
Capture rail length, position and clearances to doors, shelves and the compartment floor.
- What usable rail length, hanger depth and unobstructed garment drop are available at each hanging position? measurement
- Which intended garments can hang without touching lower surfaces or preventing door closure? action
Folded and accessory space
Records shelves, drawers and inserts used for clothing and accessory storage.
Compartment fit and reconfiguration
Describe clear compartment dimensions and supported changes to the internal layout.
- What clear dimensions remain in each shelf bay, drawer and accessory compartment after fittings are accounted for? measurement
- Which rails, shelves or inserts can be repositioned, and what instructions or attachment constraints govern the change? action
Placement and stability Connects wardrobe placement and loading to floor support, levelling and restraint.
A wardrobe's storage arrangement and installation jointly determine whether it can be used and relocated as intended.
Room fit and support
Establishes the installed envelope and the surfaces and fittings supporting the cabinet.
Installed fit
Record placement dimensions, base support and installation clearances.
- What are the wardrobe's exterior dimensions and required assembly, ceiling and wall clearances? measurement
- What floor supports, levelling adjustments and wall interfaces are required by the applicable installation instructions? provenance
Loading and restraint
Relates permitted storage loads to component strength and the installed restraint arrangement.
Supported loading configuration
Keep documented load limits and verified attachment conditions separate from assumptions.
- What documented load limits and load-distribution conditions apply to each rail, shelf and drawer? measurement
- What restraint requirements apply to this configuration, and what evidence shows that the installed attachments satisfy them? provenance
- What loading or use should be deferred when supports, restraint or load limits remain unresolved? action
Clothing access mechanisms Describes how wardrobe fronts and internal fittings expose or obstruct stored clothing.
Door travel, overlapping sliding panels and drawer extension can make otherwise sufficient storage space unusable.
Door travel
Captures front-opening geometry and interactions between doors, drawers and the room.
Opening envelope and obstruction
Measure the space and sequence needed to reach each compartment.
- What swing space, sliding overlap or folding clearance is needed to expose each compartment? measurement
- Can internal drawers and pull-out fittings extend fully with the doors in their available open positions? action
Reachable and controlled access
Records user reach and the operation of handles, catches, locks and optional powered fittings.
Access hardware and operation
Identify how a user reaches storage and operates the fitted access hardware.
- At what heights and depths are handles, rails and frequently used compartments relative to the intended user's reach? measurement
- How are fitted locks, catches, soft-close devices or powered mechanisms operated and released when they fail? action
Storage condition and servicing Connects clothing protection, cabinet deterioration and repair or movement decisions.
A wardrobe can remain recognisable while moisture, loose rails or damaged connections make its storage function unsuitable.
Clothing storage environment
Records cabinet conditions that may affect stored textiles.
Moisture and contamination evidence
Record observed conditions and their locations without presuming a cause.
- Where are dampness, condensation, persistent odour, mould or pest signs observed within or behind the wardrobe? measurement
- What inspection or cleaning is appropriate for the recorded cabinet materials before clothing is returned? action
Cabinet and fitting integrity
Assesses load-bearing fittings, moving parts and connections relevant to continued use or relocation.
Repair and movement readiness
Identify sagging, loose supports, damaged panels and compromised joints, together with service and disassembly dependencies.
- Which rails, shelf supports, hinges, tracks, back panels or carcass joints show displacement, wear or damage? measurement
- What must be unloaded, secured, disconnected or disassembled before this wardrobe can be repaired or moved? action
- Which unit-specific instructions establish compatible replacement fittings and permitted disassembly procedures? provenance
