Original Robe Replacement
Our core work in this suburb. We strip the rail-and-shelf fit-out, rebuild the cavity with double-hang, drawer banks and adjustable shelving, and hang new doors on the existing opening.
Built-In Wardrobes in Buddina
Replacing the Robe Your House Was Built With.
Sunshine Coast Cabinetry · Est. 1999
Most Buddina homes went up between the mid-1970s and the late 1980s, and the original robes came with them, one hanging rail, one shelf, and mirrored sliders long off their track. Kitchens R Us replaces them. We design, manufacture and fit custom wardrobes four minutes from your front door, using moisture-resistant board that holds up to the salt air coming off Point Cartwright.

Working With What the Builder Left
A Robe That Fits the House You Actually Own
Shallow Recesses. Tapered Walls. Solved On Site.
Buddina homeowners come to us with one of two problems: an original robe that has finally failed, or a renovation where the bedroom layout has shifted and the old opening no longer works. The housing here is generous on floor area and stingy on robe depth, typically 600mm with a header set below 2100mm, and walls that run 10 to 15mm out of square across the opening. A flat-pack built to nominal dimensions will not land flush against any of that.
So we measure the opening as it exists, not as it was drawn. The frame is scribed to the plaster or brick rather than packed out with trim, and the carcass is cut at Warana to those exact figures. If a recess is too shallow for a standard 600mm drawer, we reduce the drawer depth instead of pushing the frame into the room, because in a 1970s bedroom, every 40mm of floor space is already spoken for.
The KRU Difference
Why Buddina Homeowners Choose Kitchens R Us
Buddina sits in our closest service ring, and that proximity changes what we can promise. Measure on Tuesday, samples back Thursday, and a re-cut panel off our own saw instead of a supplier’s queue.
- Four Minutes Down Nicklin Way Our Technology Drive factory is a short run from the Buddina shops. Site visits, sample drops and callbacks cost us a few minutes, so they never get priced into your quote.
- Specialists in Period Openings Low headers, 600mm recesses and tapered walls are the norm in this suburb, not the exception. We measure at three heights and scribe to the wall, which is why our frames sit tight without packing strips.
- Built for Point Cartwright Air Beachside bedrooms here are open to the breeze most of the year. Moisture-resistant board, sealed high-impact edging and metal drawer sides are standard, we have replaced too much swollen shelving in Buddina to treat it as optional.
- Top-Hung Track as Standard Forty years of coastal grit is what finishes off a bottom-rolling door. We hang sliders from the top so the running gear never meets the sand that works into a floor track.
- Honest About Keeping Your Doors If your panels are sound, we will say so and price a track-and-internals rebuild against a full replacement. Plenty of Buddina jobs get most of the result for half the spend.
- Family Owned, Locally Answered The phone is answered on the Coast, the quote comes from the person who measured, and a 7-year workmanship warranty sits behind the install.
Wardrobe and Joinery Services in Buddina
Our Offering
A Buddina wardrobe job rarely stays in one bedroom. Most start with the main robe and grow to include the hallway linen press or the laundry, quoted in a single visit.
Top-Hung Sliding Doors
Mirror, board or coloured glass running on top-hung track. The practical choice in Buddina’s smaller second and third bedrooms, where a hinged door would swing straight into the bed.
Internals-Only Rebuilds
Keeping serviceable doors and replacing everything behind them. New track, new carcass, new shelving, the fastest way to fix a failed robe without replacing what still works.
Walk-In Conversions
For renovations where a wall has moved or an ensuite reconfiguration has freed up floor area. We plan the circulation before the joinery so nothing collides in a tight footprint.
Linen Presses & Laundry Cupboards
Beachside households wash more than most. Broom towers, linen presses and laundry cabinetry in the same finish as your robes, fitted on the same visit.
Matching Kitchens & Vanities
If the robes are part of a whole-house refresh, we manufacture the kitchen and bathroom joinery too. One contractor, one schedule, one warranty.

Questions From Buddina Homeowners
Frequently Asked
Replacing an original robe is the most common cabinetry job in this suburb. Here is what Buddina clients ask before they commit.
Can you fit a new wardrobe without rebuilding the wall?
Almost always. We work with the opening you have and scribe the new frame to the existing plaster or brick, which handles the out-of-square walls typical of 1970s construction without touching the structure. The only time we suggest framing work is when a header is so low it strands the top 300mm of the cavity, and even then it is your call, not a condition of the quote.
Will board cabinetry survive this close to the surf?
The board is not the problem; the specification is. We build with moisture-resistant board and high-impact edging that seals the exposed edges where cheap cabinetry fails first, and we use metal drawer sides rather than board drawers. Homes a few streets from the beach at Buddina need that spec, so it is what we quote by default.
My sliding doors keep jumping the track. Can that be fixed?
Usually, and it is often the cheapest useful job we do here. Bottom rollers in this suburb are typically full of forty years of sand. Converting to top-hung track lifts the running gear away from the floor entirely. If the panels are still sound we can reuse them and rebuild the internals behind.
How long does a Buddina wardrobe take?
Four to six weeks from approved design and deposit, which is manufacturing time at Warana rather than a shipping wait. Install is a single day per robe. Because we are four minutes away, the measure itself can usually be booked within the week.
Do you charge for the measure and quote?
No. We come to your Buddina home, measure the openings, talk through how you use the space, and send an itemised written quote at no cost. Being local means we are not padding a call-out into the price.
Can you match wardrobes to a kitchen you built for us before?
Yes, and we keep the specification on file. Where we have made a kitchen or vanity for a Buddina home we can match door profile, colour and hardware. If the original joinery was not ours, bring a door or a clear photo to the showroom and we will find the closest current match.
Do you take the old wardrobe away?
We do. Removal and disposal of the existing cabinetry is included in the install, and we leave the room swept. If you want to keep mirrored panels or a door set, tell us at the measure and we will set them aside.
