Selection rules

Modern wenge dressers are very diverse in their shape, size, design features, the presence of additional design details and other parameters. And if the design can be determined with the help of specialists or your own taste preferences, then it can be extremely difficult to determine whether a particular product is made qualitatively.

Furniture experts insist that there are simple rules, adhering to which you can avoid mistakes at the stage of selecting a wenge chest of drawers in the living room or hallway:

it’s better to check it yourself once than to listen to the seller ten times how wonderful the chest of drawers is. Carefully inspect the product from all sides. The presence of defects in the form of chips of varnish, cracks, abrasions of the surface should not be. All joints and connections of the structure must fit snugly against each other, and the installed accessories should not creak, leave any plaque in your hands, bend;
Do not pursue beauty to the detriment of quality. Even if the wenge model has an unusual design, it looks incredibly expensive and beautiful, but at the same time it is made of low-quality materials, has minor defects, does not have a quality certificate, you should not buy it. External beauty can completely fade very quickly if not first-class materials were used in the manufacturing process of the product or the assembly, painting technology was violated;
big doesn't mean best. Be sure to determine the size of the space where the dark chest of drawers will be installed. An excessively large product will not please you with high functionality, since it can be problematic to extend a spacious drawer with a small room area. In addition, the product should look organically against the background of other furniture in the room. Wide models with high capacity are best selected in spacious bedrooms, living rooms. And narrow models are relevant for the corridor or pantry.
