Selection rules
Eco-friendly cabinet furniture must meet several criteria at once. Among them:
- functionality;
- practicality;
- quality;
- compliance with the dimensions of the room area;
- external characteristics.
We must not forget about such an important requirement as safety. Fibreboard, chipboard, MDF and other similar materials used in the production of furniture, during operation, emit formaldehyde included in the glue. Their vapors are toxic and can cause headaches, dizziness, rashes, nausea, coughing, insomnia, and even lead to the development of allergies or asthma. To avoid these problems, it is better to give preference to natural wood – birch, oak, beech, ash, pine.
Such cabinet furniture is not just environmentally friendly and safe. It has a number of advantages, including:
- hypoallergenic;
- aesthetic appeal;
- durability;
- strength;
- maintainability;
- respectability and an indicator of taste.
It is important to understand that a wardrobe, chest of drawers or furniture made from solid wood requires special care and is more expensive compared to furnishings made from fiberboard or plastic. The manufacturer’s compliance with the technology and GOST requirements is a guarantee that the furniture will last for decades without loss of functionality and beauty. Additional characteristics that will help you make a choice in favor of natural material are:
- high level of practicality of each individual element and the cabinet set as a whole;
- compliance with the stylistic decision of the room;
- naturalness, helping to create a cozy atmosphere in the room;
- high quality, eliminating rapid wear and tear;
- preservation of the original appearance, even years after purchase.
