Chipped wardrobe interior

nabanoga

Hi,
I'm getting my house done up and the builder has put in 2 sliding wardrobes for me. Externally they look ok although they aren't tight to the wall because I think the wall is at a bit of an angle - I'm hoping they will fill the gap somehow. The other issue is the interior of the wardrobes. They have been made from some kind of cream material, I thought it might be plywood or mdf or something, it is not a veneered material anyway. Whatever it is there are a lot of chips on it where it was cut and on the internal drawers the chipboard is exposed at the sides of the drawer front. Does anyone know what this material is and if it is an easy fix to cover up the chips and the exposed chipboard? As well as that the builder said the drawers are soft close but to me they just seem stiff. Also is there anything that can be done to fill in the gaps at the side of the wardrobe where the wall might not be straight.

Any help or information would be gratefully appreciated as I want to talk to the builder tomorrow

Sounds like the material was cut with an inadequate blade. Specific blades are used so it doesn't chip on either side of the panel. Depending on how wide the gap is, a small filler could be scribed to the wall to fill the gap.
