Tips for choosing

The wardrobe is not bought for a year or two, so the choice of this product should be approached with full responsibility, clearly understanding the main points:

  1. Place the cabinet to choose before purchasing it. Not only the wardrobe design, but also its size depends on this factor. If there are doubts about the size - it is better to focus on a large model, especially if children are growing up in the house. For a room with high ceilings suitable wardrobe with mezzanine.
  2. Size affects the number of doors in the closet. The classic version is a 2-door wardrobe, however, if the product is very large, experts recommend choosing the 3-door version (opening a third).
  3. Cabinet layout is an important factor when buying.Buyers should decide on what exactly will be stored in the closet - only underwear and outerwear, and can bed linen and blankets? Need a box for shoes and shelves for accessories? How many hangers will you need? All this must be considered before going to the furniture salon or workshop. If the cabinet is large and will stand in a dark corner of the room - you can connect additional lighting.
  4. The closet should be combined with color, design, room interior - wallpaper, curtains, carpet, other furniture.
  5. Future owners of the cabinet should pay special attention to the door mechanism and the most wear-resistant part in it - the profile. The wheels should be plastic with teflon-coated or metal. Pure plastic is not suitable for daily use, because it quickly fails. The running elements should move smoothly, not falling out of the slots.
  6. Basically, buyers look at the appearance of the furniture, losing sight of the small, meanwhile important parts - accessories, which can not be saved. Steel and aluminum elements are considered the most durable. The first ones are also very light and work silently.The cheapest and short-lived are plastic components.
  7. A wardrobe with a mirrored door visually makes the space around it larger, you need to remember this when choosing a wardrobe model. With the help of this design solution, you can make the room brighter and get a bonus in the form of a large mirror that can easily replace the mirror.
  8. If the wardrobe is made to order, all measurements should be made only by the master. An inexperienced person can admit an error, and even a couple of extra centimeters can cross all expectations.
  9. If the room where the cabinet will be placed, uneven floor or there are flaws, you need to think about the substrate. It minimizes floor defects and eliminates tilting.
