    I'd go for wallpaper, glass is heavy and that wardrobe is quite a lightweight one. Also, it would need to be safety mirrored glass I'd have thought, which would be costly.

    I put fabric in ours behind the plastic. You can pull it tight or put it on net curtain wire. Ours is stapled on with a staple gun. Looks OK.
