wardrobe barinsufficient lighting

I was annoyed by a couple of things . the wardrobe bar wasn't properly installed. It fell down when i took out my clothes, luckily missing my foot. this needs fixing urgently. It felt unsafe! the lighting for makeup was also insufficient. I struggled to see properly. it really needs improving. I ended up doing my makeup in the dimly lit bathroom.
