1

Quality comparison

The quality of carpentry depends on factors such as the materials and craftsmanship used, manual work ( simple tools) , mood, professional ethics, etc. The quality is difficult to control and there is no acceptance standard .

For custom-made furniture, all processes, from cutting to edge banding and laminating, are done with imported machines, so the quality is guaranteed; the production process is inspected, the installers are trained and assessed on their operations, and there is acceptance after installation.

2

Style comparison

The styles are limited, there are no professional designers to match them, so we just make do with what we have.

A variety of styles and colors can be tailored to your space; professional designers match them to suit the trend and your needs.

3

Hardware accessories comparison

To make cabinets, it is common practice to purchase hardware and accessories from each store in the market. The quality cannot be guaranteed and the functions cannot be met; sliding doors and shaped doors are all purchased from outside.

Big brands have stable supply and quality assurance; there are many accessories, many models, and powerful functions; hardware is the core of the long life of custom furniture and the key to your storage.

4

After-sales comparison

When carpenters make cabinets, problems with edge banding, load-bearing, and hardware are common. Carpenters are highly mobile and do not have long-term service.

The store offers five-star service, 24- hour on-call service, and lifelong service, guaranteed.

5

Environmental comparison

Whether the board can meet the national standards, the large amount of glue used in edge sealing, the volatilization of toxic gases; the pollution of dust and noise caused by on-site cutting, etc.

National environmentally friendly boards are guaranteed; formaldehyde-free glue and heroic edge banding are more reassuring; one-stop service and installation by professional masters are more reassuring.
