Buying guide: how to choose oak cabinets
Published on June 21 2020
The warm appearance of oak makes it particularly pleasing to the eye as bedroom furniture.
When choosing oak furniture items, there are a number of considerations to take into account. With regard to oak cabinets, careful consideration should be given to the size of the oak furniture, and the customer should think about where in the room it will be placed, and whether or not there will be adequate space to accommodate it. Will the oak furniture provide adequate storage space for the buyer's needs? Is the storage located at the base or top of the oak cabinet, or is it placed to one side? Will it be easily accessible to the buyer? Is it supplied as open shelves or sliding drawers?
Our solid oak closets arrive in two or three parts (depending on the range) supplied in separate boxes. The main part of the oak closet will be the largest, so it is also worth measuring its doors, as many older houses have non-standard frames.
The range of oak cabinet styles is considerable. All of our oak furniture designs are modern to meet today's needs, but have a traditional feel. Our oak cabinets enhance enhance any room, adding a sense of warmth and style and with a variety of wood tones will blend well with any color scheme. There are a variety of oak closets to fit single rooms, doubles and even box rooms. These beautifully constructed pieces of furniture combine well as part of an oak furniture ensemble or as a stand-alone feature.
The term "oak furniture" does not have the same meaning as "solid oak furniture", so be careful! Oak furniture can be solid oak mixed with solid ash, or solid wood pieces glued together and finally finished with oak veneer, or chipboard or MDF with an oak veneer finish. This is not as good quality as solid oak furniture. All our furniture is made of 100% solid hardwood, as advertised. A chipboard/veneer finished piece of furniture will not have the same strength or durability. Also, you will be very surprised at the smell you will get in your room.
See our complete selection of wood cabinets. We are especially pleased with our new ELSA. The cabinets Valencia, Nordic, Escandi o Escandi Design are also popular choices.
All of our oak furniture, including oak cabinets, have a natural finish to enhance the distinctive oak grain. It is recommended that you treat your oak furniture with tung oil every three to four months to maintain a beautiful finish and help make keeping it clean a simpler task.
