I wonder if you could find one for a doll or something like that at say.Michael's? Or any other large crafty shop like that. They sell a lot of wooden furniture for dolls and small bears. I wonder if they have something like that, then you could just paint it how you'd like it. I'm sure it would save you $150.00 or more!

AC Moore 39.99 almost the same thing

Look on ebay under American girl Wardrobe, they are almost the same dimenstions alot are made by the Amish

I'm not sure how much your doggy hangers cost or if you wanted them for a specific reason but I buy Lilly's hangers at Wal-Mart and Target for like $1.00 for 10 hangers - just the baby hangers.

LOL, I did consider that, but I couldn't quite believe there were no instructions, so I pulled out every single piece and went through all the packaging with a fine tooth comb. And then I thought, well, might as well try and put it together. There were like fifty screws too. I'm bad at returning stuff I'm not happy with.

I ordered doggy-specific hangers from Amazon, since it's so important they have a picture of a bone on each one.

I was a little surprised that it didn't ship assembled, since the dimensions of the box containing the parts was fully as large as the finished product. Some of the edges were slightly damaged, and it came in twenty pieces, with no assembly instructions. I put it together in about two hours. I had to use a power drill.

The finished product looks exactly like the pictures, so now that the assembly is over, I'm happy. I'm still waiting for my doggy hangers to come, so I can't really use it yet. I'm still excited, though.

Thanks so much for the update...I don't think I'll be able to put it together tho!! 50 something screws??? No instructions??? Maybe my dad can do it.

You know, it wasn't that bad. I hardly consider myself a master carpenter, but I was able to figure it out. The big thing is the power drill, because you have to screw each door to its hinges, and the cute little piece on top with the paw print is a separate component that attaches with only two screws. It was wobbling back and forth until I broke out the drill.

Hey, just wanted to say that now that I have all Thor's clothes hung in the armoire, I'm really happy with it. So, if you've got a yen for a cute armoire, a power drill, and two hours to kill, I recommend the Soho wardrobe!

You should most definitely post a pic of this...afterall you did spend 2 HOURS! That is definitely deserving of a YT picture!

[ferraritiffie]

yes photo with thor!! I wanna see too!

[AbbysMom08]

Me too!!

[mimimomo]

Yes, I agee...pictures!! I better get it soon, otherwise it might be sold out. I wanted to get the matching wall organizer, but it's out of stock.

I'm going to make this Momo's & get Mimi this one later: Huge Dog Closet for Small Dog Clothing - GW Little
It's huge! That means I have to buy Mimi more outfits!! lol
All her winter/warmer clothes are stored away & Momo's is still in a clear zippered storage bag. We live in Ca, so they don't need to wear clothes...but I'm the kind of mommy that collects 'em! Let me tell you...I just started on the bows! lol

Petedge had the Soho collection w/matching bed & wall organizer...but they're sold out.

Hello All! I have recently switched from putting tucker's clothes in an armoire to doing a basket system. I have already found a home for the armoire, but still have quite a few hangers if anyone is interested. I was thinking $.25 (a quarter) each for them. They measure 7 inches from paw to pay, and about 6 inches long from the hanger top to the paws. the opening would fit a bar up to 1 1/4 around.

Send me a PM if you're interested

That's great! I just finished making Lily's custom bed and wardrobe. But I haven't uploaded the pics yet.
Ah how we spoil them!

If you're worried about running out of room there's this one.
PetEdge: Pet Studio Dog House Display

I'd like it better if it had doors but maybe they could be added somehow...

We were running out of room too, so we improvised!!!! Decided to make our own since all the "doggie" armoires and "doll" armoires that we looked at were either too small or way too expensive!!! We picked up a cabinet at Super Target for $29, then bought a 6' rod from Lowes along with two hangers, and made our own!!! It's perfect for Sophie's clothes!!! The kids hangers at Wal-Mart are 12 for $1, so we bought those, cut off the ends, and they are perfect!!!! We have a lot more room to grow too!
