Subjective Items

Items that are difficult to measure or specify are things such as wood/material grade, finish quality and workmanship. For these items it is somewhat subjective and your eyes need to guide you towards your choice. However, a manufacturer’s willingness to warranty the finished product for a period of 5 years or longer is a good sign that the product is sound and long lasting. Many quality manufacturers who use premium hardware provide a lifetime warranty on all moving parts such as drawers, slides and hinges. It is also important to consider the size and quality of the company providing the warranty as the end user’s protection is only valid as long as the producer is still in business.

Equally important is also the craftsmanship, quality and precision with which it is made. In other words just getting quality components is not enough in itself- the finished product must also have quality workmanship in order for it to truly be a durable, quality item.

In carefully reviewing the above items the end user can be confident that the final product selected will remain serviceable and beautiful for years to come.
