Materials of manufacture

The choice of materials should also be taken with full responsibility. Consider three main selection criteria:

• Moisture resistance.
• Durability.
• Environmental Safety.

Chipboard

Inexpensive material, easy to handle. Thanks to the laminated coating, it looks good. However, it is not moisture resistant enough.

Important! Many varieties of particleboard emit formaldehyde, so working with the material requires careful sealing of the edges. Furniture fasteners are gradually loosening.

MDF

Plywood is strong, durable, environmentally friendly. The cost is higher than that of chipboard, but lower in comparison with natural wood.

Solid wood

The material is 100% natural, environmentally friendly. A well-treated tree tolerates high humidity well. At the same time, the cost of wood is high, and wooden furniture needs regular and thorough care.

Important! Reliability and durability of furniture depends on how correctly selected furniture. Hinges, screws, guides, handles - all this should be of the best quality.
