Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0137705A1] A foldable wardrobe unit is disclosed. A wardrobe unit has panels connected by hinges which allow the unit to be folded into a substantially flat package for transport or storage. Side, back, top and bottom panels made of hardboard, chipboard or plastic fold open into a deployed condition to define an article enclosing space. Aluminium frame members provide support and stability and act as tracks within which sliding doors travel. Hinges may be separately formed and adhered to the panels or may alternately be integrally formed with the panels.
