• Fiberboard. Its main application is bent structural elements: back wall, drawer bottoms, and so on. This material has a significant drawback - low moisture resistance.

• MDF. The principle of production is the same as that of chipboard, but MDF is much stronger and has a higher quality.

• Veneer - this is a panel made of chipboard or MDF, the upper layers of which are covered with thin sheets of wood. Such material is used to create luxury furniture, since it is of high quality, durability, and, accordingly, price.

• Sliding wardrobes with natural wood mirror - this is a great rarity today. Not everyone is able to afford solid wood furniture. However, such an element of decor is distinguished by special nobility, solidity, luxury and unsurpassed quality.

Managers, relying on the needs of the buyer, will help you choose the furniture of the optimal size and shape, while taking into account additional elements. Furniture makers take into account the types of apartments in the production. Such furniture has the following standard sizes:

• height: 220-310 cm;
• door width: 45–120 cm;
• depth: 45–70 cm;
• section width: 90 cm;
• width: 90–240 cm;
• distance between shelves: 30–36 cm;
• the size of the shelves depends on the depth of the cabinet, the difference is 10-15 cm.

It is worth taking a closer look at the shape of the wardrobes in the bedroom.

• Narrow wardrobe used for small hallways and corridors, where space is extremely limited, and the capacity must be full. For convenience, such furniture uses shelves and niches for storing things, shoes, bags and other trifles. The length of such a wardrobe is unlimited, one difficulty is the doors (the more there are, the higher the price).

• Pencil case Is a rather unusual piece of cabinet furniture that has received special recognition. Its main difference is that the height is greater than the width. Modest dimensions make it possible for the wardrobe to fit perfectly into the living room, corridor or nursery. It can act as an independent piece of furniture or in combination with others.

• L-shaped cabinet - this is an original find if there is not enough free space. The triangular type of compartment cabinet with a mirror makes the most of the space. For better practicality, racks with shelves are placed on the end sides, which can be either open or closed.

Everyone should know that not only the functional purpose of the furniture, but also the dimensions, depends on the internal component. Both the number of shelves and the depth of the cabinet are taken into account. Competent thoughtful filling will allow you to use the space wisely. It is worth considering what the inner filling of the cabinet should be. The first thing to do is zoning the space.

You should also take into account such points as:

• what are you going to keep in the closet;
• the hose can be retractable or transverse, if the cabinet is not too deep, compact for shirts, trousers, jackets or with a full-length compartment;
• the presence of a mezzanine and shelves for shoes - this is an additional place for storing various things.

Furniture such as a wardrobe can find its place in any room. A natural question arises, how not to be mistaken with the choice. To do it correctly, we will reveal the simple secrets of a competent purchase.

• Decide on the shape of the cabinet. The case version is not very suitable for small rooms, occupying a fairly substantial area. Built-in requires a separate niche in the room.
• Pay attention to the sliding door opening mechanism. Roller ones are less reliable. Objects fall into the grooves, clogged with dust, which leads to the rollers falling out of the grooves and door breakage. Monorails are more reliable. This mechanism is devoid of the disadvantages of the previous one.
• Specify the material from which the wheels are made, the facade of the doors, the profile of the sliding system. Their subsequent exploitation depends on their quality. Give preference to metal casters or Teflon-coated plastic casters. The sliding system profile is offered in two versions: steel and aluminum. The first one is distinguished by its durability, but due to its large mass it creates a decent load on the fittings. Aluminum with intensive use will last no more than 10 years, but it looks more aesthetically pleasing. The door front material is very diverse. Of course, the mirrors look spectacular. Choosing a wardrobe with a mirror in the bedroom, you add sophistication, light and space.
• Give preference to trusted manufacturing companies. There are quite a lot of amateurs in the furniture market.Do not buy a wardrobe that is too cheap, as you run the risk of spending money and buying sometimes even life-threatening furniture. If you feel a strong, pungent, unpleasant smell, then it is better to refuse the purchase.

Any detail of the interior requires thoughtfulness. Furniture looks different in different rooms. There are no trifles here. The main thing is that you have a comfortable environment.

• If the apartment has a niche, stir the built-in compartment to save extra space. If the depth of the niche is more than 2 meters, then a full dressing room will come out.

• The usual for us location of the compartment along the wall to the corner does not interfere with the passage. But at a right angle along two walls, a corner cabinet will be perfectly installed, which does not take up much space, which is considered the best option.

• Install a U-shaped cabinet in a small room around a door, window, or bed. This will use up extra space. For attic rooms, beveled cabinets are suitable. If you want to make the zoning of the room, install a wardrobe with a mirror as an interior partition.

The built-in compartment of dark shades will give great expressiveness and depth to the bedroom: traditionally dark brown walnut, blue-black or chocolate wenge, spectacular burgundy or mahogany, as well as unique ebony.

For small areas, it is better to choose white tones with mirrored inserts: gentle yellowish tone Karelian birch, creamy background with a smooth structure light ash, golden shade of pine and beige color with a pinkish tint, light beech.

Unusually interesting and beautiful sliding doors are obtained with a variety of stained glass paintings, illustrations and landscapes.
