What is cabinet furniture

There are several categories of furniture, and the cabinet one is one of them. It is a load-bearing structure with solid vertical and horizontal surfaces, inside of which there is space (housing). It is used to store various items.

A convenient structure provides the possibility of placing things in their places in such a way that the necessary items are always at hand, and something less needed while you can hide away.

As a coating, natural veneer, laminate, laminate with anti-vandal properties or a film of high-temperature polymerization are used. The edge of furniture can also be made from various materials - laminate, PVC plastic, postforming or softforming.

Manufacture of cabinet furniture is carried out in such a way that high-quality panels and coatings are not used simultaneously for all parts. Of these, the most intensively used parts (countertops, cabinets' facades, shelf ends, etc.) are manufactured. All other elements are usually made of chipboard with a simple melamine edging.

Today furniture from MDF, decorated with various elements and coatings, is very popular. Especially often this material is used for the manufacture of facades. To give the products a more attractive appearance, chipboard and MDF are covered with veneer from natural wood. It is very similar in appearance to wooden such cabinet furniture, the price is much less.

From the inaccuracy made at this stage, all further work may be under threat of alteration. When measuring, attention should be paid to the unevenness of the walls or floor. Problems in this case often arise in the manufacture of corner furniture, when the angle between the walls is not equal to 90 degrees.

The second stage is a creative process - this is the choice of design. It is necessary to design corps furniture harmoniously fitting into the general interior of the room. Children's room, for example, requires a certain theme, colors. In addition, furniture for her will differ and in size.

They need to prepare holes for the hinges, screw the handles, insert the glass.
