Hey there, Open Door Wardrobe
If you’ve ever shopped for large furniture—especially something as bulky as a wardrobe—you know the quiet panic that hits when you unbox it: Will it fit my space? Is the material going to hold up when I hang my winter coats? Did I make the right call? As the owner of a company that supplies Open Door Wardrobes, I hear that exact question every single day: “Can I return this if I’m not satisfied?”
Let me start by being totally honest with you—return policies for furniture are never one-size-fits-all. Unlike a t-shirt you can toss back in a mailer for a full refund, a wardrobe is a big, heavy piece that requires extra planning, extra labor, and extra care. I’ve been in this game for 12 years, walking customers through every step, and I’ve learned that transparency here isn’t just nice—it’s non-negotiable. So let’s break this down, no fine print, no confusing jargon.
First, let’s talk about why Open Door Wardrobes are different from your average wardrobe. Our whole design is built around accessibility: no awkward sliding doors that jam, no pushing a heavy hinge to get into tight spaces. That’s why so many customers pick them—they’re a game-changer for small bedrooms, kids’ rooms, or anyone who hates fumbling with closet doors first thing in the morning. But that same open design means a few things when it comes to returns. For starters, the size and assembly (we offer both flat-pack and fully assembled options) play a huge role. If you go for flat-pack, that’s one thing—you can repackage the boxes (we use sturdy, recyclable materials that fit back into the original packaging if you save it) and ship them back, but if we deliver and assemble it for you, removing it is a whole separate process.
Let’s get to the core question: When can you return it, and when can’t you? We outline this in our purchase agreement, but I’ll sum it up here. You can return an Open Door Wardrobe within 30 days of delivery, for any reason, if it’s in the same condition it left our warehouse. That means no scratches, no dents, no loose parts, no fabric snags on the interior shelves. We do an inspection when our team picks it up, and if it’s not resellable (we can’t put a used, damaged wardrobe back out for another customer), we’ll have to cover the cost of repairing or disposing of it—and that would come out of your refund. The exception here is if the wardrobe is defective when it arrives—like a misaligned frame, a broken hinge, or fabric that’s cut wrong. In those cases, we cover 100% of the return shipping and will issue a full refund or send a replacement, no questions asked. That’s non-negotiable for us, because defects on our end are on our watch.
But wait—what if you just don’t like it? Not because it’s broken, but because the color looks different in person, or it’s not as roomy as you thought, or the design doesn’t fit your decor? That’s the grey area. A lot of companies will say “no returns” here, but we don’t. We know furniture is a big investment, and color perception (we’ve all had that—swatch looks blue, arrives grey) is real. So for that “I just don’t love it” case, you can return it, but you’ll be responsible for a 15% restocking fee, plus the cost of return shipping. Why the fee? Because when you return a used, unbroken wardrobe, we have to take it apart (if assembled), repackage it, transport it back to our warehouse, inspect it, and then get it ready to resell. That’s 6-8 hours of labor per wardrobe, plus the cost of fuel and equipment. The restocking fee doesn’t cover all of that, but it helps offset some of it, and it keeps our prices low for other customers. I get that this feels like a catch, but it’s the only way we can keep our Open Door Wardrobes priced so a family can get a high-quality piece without breaking the bank.
Now, let’s talk about the exceptions where returns aren’t possible—because honesty means not just the good stuff. If you assemble the wardrobe yourself and then decide you don’t want it, we can’t take it back once the packaging is opened. Why? Because flat-pack packaging is designed specifically for that wardrobe—cut to size, custom foam inserts to protect the parts. If you cut open the boxes, we can’t reuse that packaging, and shipping a flat-pack wardrobe without proper packaging leads to damage during transit, which means we can’t resell it. Also, if you alter the wardrobe in any way—drill extra holes, paint it, add hardware—we can’t take it back. Once it’s modified, it’s no longer a standard Open Door Wardrobe, and it’s hard to find another customer who wants a custom piece that doesn’t match their space. The only exception here is if we send a replacement for a defective piece, and the replacement is delayed for more than 10 days—we’ll cover the cost of modifying the original if it works for you, but that’s a rare case.
I also want to address a common complaint I hear: “I thought returns were free!” Let’s be clear—nothing in life is free. If a company offers free returns on every furniture piece, they’re hiding that cost somewhere, usually in the price of the product or in hidden fine print that makes it almost impossible to actually get a refund. We price our Open Door Wardrobes fairly, and we’re upfront about the return costs, because that’s how we treat our customers. I’d rather you know exactly what you’re getting into than have a surprise fee pop up when you’re already frustrated about not liking the wardrobe.
Let me tell you a quick story to put this in perspective. Last year, a customer in Portland bought a white Open Door Wardrobe for her new apartment, and when it arrived, she realized it was way too big for her bedroom closet nook. She’d already assembled it, so she couldn’t repackage it, and she didn’t want to keep it. We worked with her to find a solution: she donated it to a local youth shelter, and we gave her a 50% store credit instead of a refund. That way, she didn’t have to pay for return shipping, the wardrobe went to a good home, and she got to pick out a smaller size that fit her space. It wasn’t a perfect solution, but it worked for everyone, and that’s the kind of flexibility we prioritize over strict rules.
Another customer in Chicago had a defective wardrobe—the interior frame was warped, so the shelves wouldn’t stay level. We sent a replacement the next day, paid for the old one to be picked up, and even threw in a set of matching hanging organizers as an apology for the hassle. That’s the standard, not the exception, because defects are our responsibility, and we don’t want a customer to think twice about buying from us again.
So, to circle back to the original question: Can you return an Open Door Wardrobe if you’re not satisfied? The answer is yes—most of the time—but it depends on why you’re returning it, the condition it’s in, and how it was delivered. If it’s defective, we’ll make it right, no extra cost. If you just don’t love it, you can return it within 30 days, as long as it’s unassembled and in original condition, minus a small restocking fee and return shipping. If you assemble it, alter it, or keep it longer than 30 days, we can’t take it back—but we’re always happy to chat about alternatives, like store credits or helping you sell it to a local buyer through our community network.
Now, if you’re reading this and you’re on the fence about buying an Open Door Wardrobe, don’t let the return policy hold you back.

And if you have questions before you buy, our team is here to walk you through measurements, color samples, assembly options, and even the best way to measure your space to make sure the wardrobe fits.
