Quality Comparison

The quality of woodworking depends on factors such as the materials and techniques used, handcraft ( simple tools) , mood, and professional skills. Quality is difficult to control, and there are no acceptance standards .

Custom-made furniture uses imported machines for everything from cutting and edge banding to lamination, ensuring quality. The production process is inspected, installers are trained and assessed before operation, and there is an acceptance inspection after installation.

2

Style Comparison

The styles are limited, there are no professional designers to coordinate, so it's just something we make do with.

With a variety of styles and colors, we can tailor-make your space; professional designers have created designs that meet both current trends and your needs.

3

Hardware accessories comparison

When making cabinets, hardware and accessories are purchased from various vendors in the market. These are all standard products, and the quality cannot be guaranteed or the functions cannot be met. Sliding doors and decorative doors are all purchased from external suppliers.

Stable supply from major brands, quality guaranteed; numerous accessories, various models, and powerful functions; hardware is the core of the longevity of custom furniture and the key to your storage needs.

4

After-sales comparison

Carpenters often encounter problems with edge banding, load-bearing capacity, and hardware when building cabinets, and carpenters are also highly mobile and do not provide long-term services.

Our exclusive stores offer five-star service, 24/7 availability, lifetime service, and a guarantee.

5

Environmental comparison

Whether the boards meet national standards, the large amount of glue used for edge banding, the volatilization of toxic gases, and pollution from dust and noise during on-site material cutting, etc.

Nationally recognized environmentally friendly building materials, guaranteed; formaldehyde-free adhesive and Haomai edge banding, for added peace of mind; one-stop service and professional installation for added reassurance.
