Inside the Phoenix door
The Phoenix is an edged door, not a wrapped one. An 18mm E1-grade MDF board is cut to your door size, a high-gloss foil is bonded flat to the face under pressure with a polyurethane reactive adhesive, and a 1mm ABS edge is fused to all four sides: matching the face, or in a multiplex or glass-effect line if you want the edge to show. It is the construction the trade uses where doors get the hardest use, because a bonded edge shrugs off knocks that would mark a softer surface.
Why this build matters
High Gloss Fitted Wardrobe, Made to Measure in London
Built on the Phoenix DoorShown in high gloss light grey: a bonded gloss slab with a 1mm fused edge, wrapping the bed wall with a dressing table and lit headboard panel. Made to measure in Wembley.
About This Style
A high gloss fitted wardrobe does two things for a London bedroom: it returns daylight to the room, and it makes the wall of storage read as one calm, reflective plane. This run is built on the Phoenix door from our Edged collection, in high gloss light grey, wrapping the bed wall from floor to ceiling with bridging units over the bed, bedside drawer towers, a dressing table and mirror at one end, and a lit fluted panel behind the headboard.
How it works: the Phoenix is an edged door. An 18mm E1-grade MDF board is cut to size, a high-gloss foil is bonded flat to the face under pressure, and a 1mm ABS edge is fused to all four sides, matching the face or in a multiplex or glass-effect line. The board is specified for high scratch resistance and a highly durable core, and the doors can be made to measure up to 2400mm high and 1200mm wide. Shown with slim black bar handles; an integrated top-edge handle rail is available if you prefer no handles on the face.
Make it yours: eight high-gloss finishes, white, ivory, cashmere, light grey, dust grey, graphite, black and metallic anthracite, with interiors in any of our carcass colours. Floor-to-ceiling runs, over-bed bridges, dressing tables and drawer towers are all cut to your exact room in our Wembley workshop.
Every high-gloss wardrobe is designed at a free home visit, made to measure in North London, and installed by our own fitters with a 10-year guarantee.

High gloss fitted wardrobes across London and the Home Counties
Metro's workshop and showroom are in Wembley, North London (HA9), and we design and install high gloss fitted wardrobes throughout Greater London and the surrounding counties. A gloss run is measured to the millimetre at the free home design visit, because a reflective face shows any gap or step that a matt door would hide.
Trusted by London homeowners
“A wonderful experience from start to finish. I designed four wardrobes — the team's expertise and flexibility were outstanding. Every person I dealt with was warm, professional and genuinely invested in getting it right.”
“They’ve done a great job from start to finish. I’ve had to deal with so many builders, handymen etc. due to a complete house refurbishment and I can honestly say Metro was one of the rarest ones that didn’t cause any headache. We’ve asked them to a wardrobe for the porch and a shoe cabinet opposite to that one but the shoe cabinet area wasn’t ready to be installed yet at the time of delivery so they’ve come back again after a few weeks and completed everything perfectly. I’d like to thank especially the last installation team, sorry don’t know their names.”
“This guys done more than excellent work. It’s the best wardrobe than I ever seen, and it’s for my house. IKEA’s wardrobes look like fake ones, in comparison with this one!! Totally recommend it!”
