Wardrobes can be crazily expensive - and even that fact doesn't always help their quality.
To choose a good and long-lasting wardrobe, you need to be careful and attentive to details - and we'll help you to see the signs that something isn't right.
Here are a few red flags you should pay your attention to.
Wobbly or unstable
If the wardrobe shakes or feels unsteady when you touch or open it, it's a sign that it might not be built very well.
Joints can be weak
Check the places where different parts of the wardrobe are put together, like corners and edges.
If they look flimsy or poorly connected, it's a sign of low quality.
It shouldn't be hard to open
If the doors or drawers don't open and close smoothly or get stuck, it can be frustrating and a sign of poor quality.
Materials can be thin and weak
Feel the thickness of the wardrobe's panels and shelves. If they seem thin or weak, it might not be very sturdy.
Sagging shelves are bad
Look at the shelves inside the wardrobe. If they're bending or sagging under the weight of your clothes, it's a sign that the materials used aren't strong enough.
Finnish should be smooth
If the outer layer of the wardrobe is peeling, chipping, or easily scratched, it can make it look old and poorly made.
A poor-quality wardrobe might have uneven coloring or a finish that doesn't look smooth and well-done.
Cheap hardware is a bad sign
Check the handles, knobs, and hinges. If they feel flimsy or look like they might break easily, it's a sign of lower quality.
Conclusion
Good wardrobes last for decades - so make sure that you choose only lasting materials that look firm and stable.
