A wardrobe would be a vegetable, if it was made by organic materials (wood, if you're referring to the furniture; cotton/wool/etc. if you are referring to a collection of clothes). This is usually the case, and if you are actually playing the game, throwing in synthetic materials to make it a mineral is frowned upon!

If you have an iron wardrobe, it would be a mineral. Most are made of wood, though, which being a plant, is a vegetable. If you're talking about the clothes, it could be any of the above-- cotton = vegetable, wool = animal (comes from sheep), and polyester/synthetic could be a combination mineral/vegetable, depending on the origins of the fibers.
Tough question.
I'm really scared that so many people think wood is a mineral. Not until it has calcified and petrified for a few hundred or thousand years, it's not!

Vegetable....the wood comes from a tree. The clothes might be animal (silk, wool, leather, etc.). However, if the wardrobe is metallic, it might be a mineral. Synthetic fibres could be any of the three.

If the wardrobe is made of wood then it would be vegetable since wood comes from trees, trees are plants and plants are vegetable. OK not vegetable in the sense as "eat your greens!" but those no-brainers who think that wood is a mineral need shipping off to another planet.
Minerals are stones, rocks, ores such as iron ore and so on. Animals are dogs, cats, cows, pigs, birds, snakes, elephants, insects, you and me

A wardrobe, as in armoire or piece of furniture, is generally constructed of wood. Wood, derived from trees, was once a living thing along the lines of brush and shrubs. Often this is referred to as "vegetation" - hence wood is a vegetable in the loosest sense of the word; not a strict interpretation, as in a turnip.

Wood isn't a mineral, it's a plant.
