In the early 2000s, there was a new introduction in the furniture industry, and that was of Ready-To-Assemble (RTA) furniture. It appeared as an alternative to custom made furniture, which is usually heavy, expensive, and takes a long time to get manufactured and delivered. While shifting and moving, it causes an additional burden of getting it packed and transported.
RTA furniture comes in packages, and you have to assemble it on your own as per the instructions given in the manual which accompanies them. Sometimes there is a complementary assembly service for certain RTA furniture.
Cabinets are necessary for household use. You can put it in the kitchen, in your living room, or bedroom. Cabinets are also available in the range of RTA furniture.
Features of the best RTA cabinets:
- Plywood base
The material should essentially be plywood. It can withstand weight, water and does not get damaged easily. You should avoid particle boards as they get ruined easily.
- Smooth closing doors and drawers
Sometimes the wood or other custom-made furniture doors get stuck, close with a loud noise, or makes creaking sounds during opening or closing.
RTA cabinets open and close easily and without noise. This is due to the good quality of slides and hinges that are used in them.
- Cabinets with a good finish
Look for the product finish. There should not be flaky surfaces or scratches, or marks on them. The colors and shades should be uniform and look good. The edges should look proper.
- Good quality brands
Always buy from brands or manufacturers who would offer good quality products even if it is a bit expensive. Choosing a cheaper product and then looking for replacement services in case of damage in part would not be a good option. Almost nobody would offer a warranty on wear and tear due to usage. Look for frames and cabinet fronts made of dense hardwood, as these areas would be most vulnerable to damage once you start using them.
Check for the joinery. A mortise and tenon joinery are the best.
- Product delivery
Once you order a cabinet and make the payment, the components and parts should be delivered on time. This is particularly important when you are setting up the kitchen. If the products are not delivered on time and installation is pending, you may have to put your plans of setting up other gadgets on hold.
There would be an overall delay for the whole setup. So, the manufacturer or supplier has to be reliable.
- Do thorough research before buying
You would find several suppliers and manufacturers of RTA cabinets both online and offline. Try looking for genuine reviews and feedbacks about the products. Go through different furniture sites and compare the product qualities before buying. Do not order in a hurry without doing some research on what would be the best option.
RTA cabinets have gained popularity nowadays due to the appearance and finish of the products, lower cost compared to custom made heavy wooden cabinets, easy assembling process, and the variety in designs and shades. So, go ahead and choose the best RTA cabinets from a quality brand that would enhance the beauty of your dream home.
