Pros and cons of furniture

In similar products lacking both advantages and disadvantages, so we could not ignore this issue. The two most common material for the manufacture of such products - chipboard and MDF.

Chipboard: useful information on material

Few people know, but this material is divided into 2 groups - E1 and E2. The first is suitable for the manufacture of furniture, which will be installed in the apartment. Naturally, its manufacture is complete without formaldehyde resins, but their number does not exceed a safe level for humans. But the DSP group E2 is not recommended for use in rooms where people live permanently. Especially, it concerns the children's rooms. Elevated levels of formaldehyde, which is beginning to stand out especially intensively in contact with chipboard sunlight, can cause serious harm to health.

Slight drawback can be called that of the DSP can not perform a variety of small decorative details. That's why the elegant modular furniture is difficult to name.

Having dealt with the shortcomings can go to the advantages, among which:

• high strength;
• moisture resistance;
• low cost;
• versatility (can be made of chipboard furniture not only for living but also for the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and even a balcony).

MDF - what kind of material it is made

MDF particle board is much cleaner for the environment. It is made of very fine chips, which are pressed at high temperature. This process promotes the release of its own wood resins, which are glued sawdust is not worse than formaldehyde. If you make a price range in ascending order, the MDF will be above the DSP, but below the natural array.

Manufacturers of furniture, popular in Russia

Certainly in our country there is no city that does not have at least one furniture production. Nevertheless, the majority of manufacturers work only with a single order, without going beyond the settlement. However, many companies that have long been left to the national level. Let's try to list a few companies producing cabinet furniture in Russia, which are the most popular. Among them:

1. "Shatura" - one of the largest manufacturers in the market. Starting with a single order to date, the brand produces not only the cabinets and walls, but also has his own line for the production of particle board and chipboard. Works in the budget and mid-segment price categories.
2. "MiassMebel" - Service Area - the Urals and Siberia. The manufacturer did not deal with the most cheap furniture that is always in demand, and went to the hard way. Runs in the middle and upper price segment.
3. "Katyusha" - is the most dynamic company today. Despite the fact that it owns only 4.2% of the furniture market versus 9.5%, which is "Shatura" (many can only dream), the dynamics of the "Katyusha" is about 35% per year. Good performance, do not you think?
4. "Lotus" - the manufacturer is not intended for the production line ParticleboardAnd therefore purchase it from a third-party seller. Interestingly, the company is not interested in a foreign raw materials, buying particle board and chipboard exclusively Russian production.

Criteria for the selection of furniture for the living room, kitchen or hallway

Those who argue that the entire furniture, produced in Russia, the same quality, are mistaken. And the design of each manufacturer its developed by the companies themselves. Let's try to understand what you need to look for when buying a similar interior.

The first thing to check is, of course, appearance. Cabinets must be symmetrical, the joints of plates are smooth, with no clearly-marked slots. Special attention to the ends. The edge they must be adhered uniformly, without air bubbles. Corner edge of the slab itself should not be chipped. Their presence indicates that the use of low-quality tool, or the masters lacked proper skills of handling and possibly furniture not stored correctly. And in fact, and in another case about the product as possible to forget. How are chipped and where to find them - all this can be understood from the following photo.

Furthermore, worth a little effort, swing the cabinet side. If it is at least slightly leaned to one side, then pulled loose connections. This suggests that the master "faked" or using low-quality materials, low-density. Such a cabinet can not even get to your apartment or private house. In the case, if it is disassembled, then reassembled it may be the last for him.

Quality can be defined and fittings. If it is clear that the manufacturer has not stinted and found expensive hinges and handles, it indirectly indicates the quality of the furniture. After all, it makes no sense to put in the boxes shoddy expensive parts. You can not ignore the certification. Any large enterprise to submit the documents confirming the quality on each of its products. In addition to the certificate must be provided by the manufacturer and the warranty on all furniture sold.
