Beauty or convenience? These two nuances most often arise when choosing almost any furniture.

As a rule, it is the aesthetic aspects that win. But practicality is also important.

There are several mistakes when choosing a cabinet that concern convenience.

Boxes

Often people chase the number of shelves. But the deeper the cabinet, the less the solution.

It is more practical to choose options with drawers. This will make it easier to get things out and they will not get wrinkled.

Material

Another nuance concerns the material. If you have to store something heavy in the boxes, then fiberboard is not the best option, since this material can sag or even break.

For this case, it is better to use chipboard or plywood.

Shelf size

The wardrobe consists of items of different lengths: T-shirts, shirts, raincoats, dresses, and so on.

It is better to start from your personal wardrobe rather than try to adapt some standard wardrobe option to suit yourself.

Accessories

Many experts advise not to save on fittings. Low-quality parts will cause more trouble in the long run than it might seem at first glance.

Lack of supports and partitions

This mistake is often encountered when designing a cabinet.

Typically the recommended cabinet width is within 70 cm.

If the width chosen is 70 cm, then experts advise to strengthen the shelves with partitions, supports, eccentrics, Euro screws, etc.
