How to assemble a wardrobe?

Today, everyone can quickly and efficiently assemble a cabinet on their own. To do this, you just need to order all the necessary materials that you will find in specialized stores. This piece of furniture is very popular and has many significant advantages. To install it in your room, you need to know the step-by-step instructions for assembling the cabinet.

First of all, you need to decide which wardrobe is right for your room. Modern buyers prefer wardrobes because they are more functional.

Among their main advantages:

1. Increased capacity and compact design. The furniture does not look bulky, but at the same time a fairly large number of things can fit in it.
2. A sliding wardrobe can be placed in a room of any size and shape. Such a piece of furniture can skillfully transform and adapt to the characteristics of your room.
3. Possibility of room zoning. With the help of this object, you can visually divide the room into different zones. Most often, the room is divided into a work and a recreation area.
4. Door mechanism. You do not need additional space to open the wardrobe.
5. Convenient assembly. This can be done independently and without any special skills.

In a house or apartment, any type of wardrobe, whether it be a compartment or a swing, takes an important place. Thanks to this piece of furniture, it was possible to find a worthy solution to the issue of maximum functionality in a limited space.

The main advantage of cabinets is the economic use of the usable space of the room. They are multifunctional, durable and easy to use.

They are also an integral part of the interior of the apartment. As a rule, it occupies the entire space from floor to ceiling, eliminating the presence of hard-to-reach places where dust and dirt can accumulate. This not only extends the life of the cabinet, but also preserves your health.

When designing this type of furniture, all the architectural features of the room are taken into account. This allows you to use all corners, niches and other blind spots. The design of the cabinet allows you to store almost everything in it, even things that are non-standard in size.

The greatest effect of using the useful space of the cabinet is achieved through the use of sliding door systems. This system is designed for long-lasting and quiet operation.

The cabinet should be as spacious and functional as possible. When choosing a design, you can order the required number of exit shelves, drawers, hangers, baskets. At the same time, do not forget about free access to the contents of the cabinet.

The modern market for furniture materials allows you to use almost any type of material.

In order to quickly assemble the furniture you just purchased, you must strictly adhere to the instructions offered by the manufacturer of the product.

There are some basic rules for installing cabinet furniture. If you strictly follow them, then any thing can be assembled in the shortest possible time with high quality:

• You do not need to take everything out of the factory packaging at once. With such actions, you can mix the details, and then it will be difficult to figure out which refers to what. Strict ordering must be followed. Read the factory instructions carefully several times. This way you don't have to redo all the work afterwards.
• We highly recommend making sure all hardware is in place. If some detail is missing, then you will not be able to assemble this piece of furniture. The fittings must correspond to the declared color scheme. Make sure the drawer guides are smooth enough.

• It is necessary to collect everything one by one, each section separately. It is best to start work from the bottom. Only after its installation, you can proceed to the installation of the sidewalls.
• Carefully open the original packaging, lay out all the parts on a special table and prepare the necessary tools.
• At the final stage of installation, you need to install mirrored doors. This way you can avoid damaging them.

Recently, for the production of high-quality furnishings, the most often used material such as chipboard. It consists of wood chips, only a fairly coarse dispersion. In order to give such shavings the shape of a sheet, the method of hot pressing is used. Formaldehyde resins act as a binder.

The main difference between chipboard and chipboard is that the second material is covered with a special film. It is made from paper and melamine resin. Chipboard has a good density. It is because of this indicator that it is stronger and will serve you for many years.

This material differs in its composition. Although some buyers believe that it has no varieties.

If we divide chipboard by coating, then the following types can be distinguished:

• veneered;
• laminated;
• rough.

They also differ in composition.

There are three main varieties:

1. For the first, only the highest grade sawdust is used. The surface of such a product has no chips and should look just perfect. To decorate the slab, veneer or a special film is used.
2. Small defects may be present on the slab of the second grade. Decorating is possible, but not used very often.
3. Slabs of the third grade have visible defects. There is no decoration.

It should be noted that laminated chipboard is refractory and moisture resistant. They are able to withstand quite high temperatures. Most often, laminated chipboard is used in the manufacture of furniture, in particular, cabinets. Less commonly, it is used as partitions or for interior decoration. The composition of the material allows you to hold nails or screws well.

Furniture items made of this material have quite a lot of advantages when compared with other materials.

Among the main advantages are noted:

1. Affordable cost.
2. The manufacturing process does not have any particular difficulties.
3. High quality material.
4. Long service life.
5. Wide range of colors. Possibility of additional decoration.
6. Combines with a variety of materials.

Furniture items made of laminated chipboard will perfectly fit into any interior style.

It is worth noting one more feature of these slabs. They have soundproofing qualities, and are also able to retain heat inside the room. If necessary, they can even sheathe the walls of the house.

You will not need any large expenses to purchase the necessary tool.

In order to mount a cabinet, you must have a standard set of tools:

• special clamp for parts;
• electric screwdriver;
• rubber mallet;
• hex key;
• construction knife;
• standard screwdriver;
• stationery knife;

• drills of different sizes;
• electric drill;
• awl;
• paper with fine-grained sandpaper;
• construction pencil;
• square;
• you will need a tape measure for measurements.

It is impossible to correctly guess what kind of building tool for assembling furniture you will need. It all depends on the complexity of the project.

First, you need to prepare the room in which you want to put the cabinet. Next, you need to make sure once again that you have all the necessary tools and materials at hand.

For an inexperienced user, assembling furniture seems quite simple. Only after seemingly insignificant mistakes have been made do various installation defects:

1. The flap adhesion to the door is very weak.
2. Door squeak during opening.
3. Misalignment of parts that occurs as a result of misalignment of holes.
4. The furniture is wobbly and unstable.

To avoid these troubles, it is advisable to assemble according to a strict scheme.

There are two types of mounting - vertical and horizontal. In the second case, the skew of the parts that are connected occurs much less often.

Initially, legs and a base must be attached to the bottom. Legs are only needed if the floor under the cabinet is uneven. Then you can proceed to the direct assembly of the main body. To do this, we firmly attach the sidewalls to the base. For additional reinforcement of the structure, we attach a rack. This will prevent the sidewalls from tilting. Then you need to screw on the parts that remain.

Professional craftsmen advise screwing the back wall of the cabinet onto self-tapping screws, and not nailing it down. At this stage of assembly, the cabinet is installed in a pre-selected location. Put on the guides for the drawers and be sure to check their work. Install the holders and the rod.

The next thing to do is to install the doors. First of all, you need to attach the guides straight. Then we fix the rail on the self-tapping screws. Next, take the doors and insert them. They should open and close softly. If necessary, correct their work. The sealing brushes should only be glued at the final stage. We attach special plugs to confirmations.

A wardrobe made of furniture boards, laminated chipboard or chipboard is not difficult to assemble on your own. Prefabricated wardrobes have a fairly simple design, and the assembly procedure for a folding, four-leaf or other type of wardrobe is practically the same.

A four-door wardrobe takes a little longer to assemble. You must first choose which cabinet you want. Maybe you will like a glass cabinet-cabinet with additional bedside tables or other filling. The choice is yours. You need to clearly follow the proposed assembly scheme, and then you will succeed.
