How do you tell quality bedroom furniture?

1 Answer
How do you tell quality bedroom furniture?
To tell quality bedroom furniture, first give it a shake or push. If you notice any wobbling or creaking, the piece may be of inferior quality. Materials like solid hardwood can also help you separate well-made pieces from lower-quality items produced out of engineered wood and particleboard. For dressers, chests of drawers, nightstands and other casegoods, check out the drawers. On high-quality pieces, the drawers should move smoothly. Dovetail and tongue-and-groove drawer joint construction can also indicate quality furnishings. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of bedroom furniture.
