Yesterday, I built this three-door  Brusali wardrobe for a customer in St Helier. Although she was quite capable of building the matching drawer units and other items, the wardrobe is very heavy and difficult to handle.

Each of the three boxes it comes in is heavy enough to need two people if you’re carrying it any distance – or up stairs, for example. Luckily for me, I didn’t have to move it too far, and total time to build it was almost exactly the two hours I quoted.
