What they cost, what moves the price, and why who builds them matters more than who draws them.
Updated 2026-07-20. Rates are the starting point for the joinery itself. VAT, delivery and site conditions are added on top, and a tall run or a difficult wall changes the number.
| Item | AED per linear foot |
|---|---|
| Melamine | 480 |
| Veneer | 680 |
| PU Lacquer | 780 |
Three things, in order. Finish is the biggest lever: melamine, veneer and PU lacquer are genuinely different products, not tiers of the same one. Height matters next, because a floor to ceiling run needs more carcass and more careful scribing than a standard 2.4m unit. Internals come third: drawers, soft-close, lighting and pull-outs add up faster than most people expect.
A freestanding wardrobe is furniture you can take with you. A fitted wardrobe is joinery: measured to your wall, scribed to your skirting, and built around the awkward corner every Dubai apartment seems to have. Fitted costs more and uses every millimetre of the space. If you are renting, buy furniture. If it is your home, fit it.
Most Dubai fit-out companies subcontract their joinery. We manufacture ours in our own 20,000 sq ft factory in Jebel Ali. It matters for two practical reasons: the price does not carry a middleman, and when something needs adjusting on site, the person who made it is reachable.
