What is the purpose of cabinet furniture?
1 Answer

The purpose of cabinet furniture is to provide storage space. Cabinets can be used to organize everything from dinnerware and serveware in the dining room to media and games in the living room to apparel and accessories in the bedroom to linens and toiletries in the bathroom. Unlike open shelves, cabinets feature doors that hide their contents from sight, enhancing the appearance of a room. Find a large selection of cabinets and storage furniture on 1stDibs.
