Step 5: Reinforcement (Optional)* For added durability, you can reinforce the edging strips by applying a thin layer of contact cement or wood glue along the seam between the edging strips and the wardrobe panels.
* Secure the reinforcement with small nails or screws if desired.

Tips for a Professional Finish:* Ensure the wardrobe panels are clean and free of dust or debris before installation.
* Use a straight edge to ensure the edging strips are aligned properly.
