Five ways to customize and purchase a wardrobe

A wardrobe-it's a spatial entity imbued with both aesthetics and function. A wardrobe that suits you is like Mandheling lining-rich, mellow, and intriguing. With a free-spirited boldness and boundless expanse, it blends the robust and intense with the gentle and easygoing, expressing life's unique bittersweetness, allowing you to calm your mind and savor its nuances...

Finding the right wardrobe requires a process... Carpentry: Carpenters process the boards themselves using tools. Custom-made brands: Primarily panel-based customization; many major brands now offer custom-made wardrobes in major shopping malls.

Custom-made factories: Local small brands that process wood panels, so they have a relatively complete range of panel types. Ready-made wardrobes: Many ready-made wardrobes are available in building materials markets and furniture markets. Taobao/shopping malls: Fixed sizes, assembled by yourself.

These are five common ways to buy a wardrobe. Which one is best depends on your needs, style, budget, and your priorities regarding environmental friendliness and after-sales service.

Is it recommended to have a carpenter build cabinets?

Whether it's carpentry or manufacturing, there are different levels of skill. Carpenters can certainly build cabinets, but it's essential to find a reliable and skilled carpenter, since most carpenters rely on experience.

Is it cheap to have a carpenter build cabinets?

The answer is not certain, but it's certain that in most cases, having a carpenter build cabinets is much more economical, especially compared to big brands. However, compared to local small factories, if the hardware and materials are the same, having a carpenter build cabinets doesn't have a significant advantage (for example, there is relatively more material wastage).

Is it environmentally friendly for a carpenter to build cabinets?

Whether a cabinet is environmentally friendly ultimately depends on the type of board it's made of, and the environmental friendliness of the board is determined by the board manufacturer. It's not that finger-jointed fir boards are necessarily more environmentally friendly than particleboard or multi-layer solid wood boards. The type of adhesive used to bond the boards or the specific process employed are the key factors in determining the environmental friendliness of the board.

Brand customization

More and more families are now opting for customized solutions. Major brands almost always use melamine boards for their customized products, with particleboard as the core material. Smaller brands, in order to differentiate themselves from competitors, mostly use multi-layer solid wood boards. However, both are essentially panel cabinets.

Factory customization

Custom furniture factories are generally divided into two categories. One category is solid wood custom furniture factories. These solid wood custom furniture factories are mostly small local brands. Due to the difficulty in achieving large-scale production due to factors such as craftsmanship and materials, their prices are relatively expensive. Their customer base mainly consists of owners of large apartments or villas.

Another type is local small-brand panel cabinet customization factories. In terms of price, small brands generally have a significant advantage over large brands. But are their products necessarily worse than those of large brands? That depends on factors such as the materials used by the factory, the designer's design level, the control of workmanship and quality, and after-sales service.

There are many types of boards. Classified by material, they can be divided into solid wood core boards, multi-layer solid wood boards, particleboard, MDF, etc. Among them, multi-layer solid wood boards have better nail-holding power and stronger impact resistance. The level of environmental friendliness depends on the glue used and the quality of the manufacturing process.
