Hi @pwbutt
I don't know what you will think of this idea, but have you considered using a Sideboard or a kitchen cabinets positioned at ground level? Many of these units have draws too, and when you consider that most of these cabinets are nothing less than a small sized wardrobe (but called something else) you may find a suitable one for your own particular needs... Just a thought!

Hi, Roddy the problem with the idea you gave it would be ok Shelf wise but as for hanging suits etc, I think that would be a problem, I think. But thanks for replying

Hi Kazzy I did think of that and that's the way I may have to go, but the reason I posted is that I've seen some pictures of low height wardrobes for wheelchair users but that's all they are, they don't state where they can be bought from but as I say I guess that'll be an option I end up with. Thanks for the suggestion.
