How to spot low quality construction in hotel furniture
We get asked a lot about the wood and assembly method that is used in hotel furniture and how to differentiate inferior furniture from high quality furniture. In plenty of cases, you get what you pay for but with furniture prices going lower entirety from lower overseas labor cost, sometimes good items are slightly expensive than inferior furniture. On this article, I am going to tell you related to inferior furniture and what should take into consideration.
We all know of the running joke related to some manufacturers and their “easy” at home working with the hundreds of screws, boards , dowels and mainly undecipherable directions. These types of items, named RTA or ready to assemble are built without be mindful of quality, most of the time, they are utilized due to they are closely packed together and if you are shipping the items in a shipping carton you can put a plenty of boxes stacked on top of each other. While these items may be applicable for home application, for long duration hotel use they normally cannot resist the wear and tear of over usage. Over time, majority of these designs lose its firmness, bent and spoiled and need to be replaced. So your first question to ask is, is the hotel furniture built?
Once you discover if the item is preassembled, you can confirm the materials that were used. An indication of lesser quality is using laminated wood, such as plywood, rather than real solid wood. As an example, commonly you are able to tell the difference in flooring from a laminated wood over a hard wood . Next, if the wood is fake wood or it is a chipboard or MDF (medium density fiber board, fairly like particle board) that saving on the manufacturing material costs, lowers your price but typically lower the quality of the piece. In this case your following question should be what kind of material is used for in this hotel furniture?
The last item is to visually inspect the furniture and question about the following things, after I have assembled it, can I detach or will it break easily? Are the posterior and lowest part of the piece 100% covered or are the particle board visible? Does the hotel furniture look square, or are the doors or intersection crooked? Can I take this apart again if I want to move it or can it spoil whole furniture? At last if you put a television on it, will it result the hotel furniture to fly apart at the sides?
Generally speaking if you plan to get solid, excellent made hotel furniture for your property. Keeping in mind a few things before you order will certainly save you money long-run but probably cost you a little more up front.
