The original cabinet is far from the last place in the field of interior design. This product is always subject to stringent requirements, as it must be not only roomy, but also compact so as not to take up too much free space. The models on the market do not always meet the existing requirements, which is why home craftsmen prefer to make a cabinet with their own hands.
Selection of the main material
The modern consumer market is ready to offer various materials, thanks to which any craftsman can make a wooden cabinet with his own hands. It is necessary to approach the selection of suitable raw materials with maximum responsibility so that the resulting product meets all the requirements placed on it. Experts note that the following types of wood have proven themselves best:
- Solid boards. This material can be made from different types of wood. On sale are a variety of sizes of boards. For the construction of the cabinet, birch, pine and oak are most often used. These types of wood are characterized by high strength, optimal resistance to temperature changes and air humidity.
- Plywood. This is a universal multilayer material, which has good strength and durability. Plywood is absolutely safe for human health and the environment. You can purchase solid plates, which greatly simplifies the process of manufacturing and assembling a makeshift cabinet for clothes.
- Particleboard. Such wood chipboards are the most popular, as they are ideal for creating various furniture. The great popularity of the sheets arose against the background of the fact that they are not only high-quality, but also affordable. The finished product will withstand moisture and sudden changes in temperature. The design does not deform in an aggressive environment and boasts excellent strength properties.
Making a sliding wardrobe from pine is a rather time-consuming process, as the breed itself is not hard enough. But choosing this material, the master is guaranteed to receive an unusual design of the finished product.
