Extra storage sounds simple, until a cabinet turns out to be too deep for the hallway, drawers start to sag or a material proves less suitable for a damp bathroom. A storage cabinet should not only suit your interior, but also the items you want to store in it and the space available.
Pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
Don’t just measure the spot where the cabinet will stand. Also check whether the furniture will fit through doors, stairways and lifts. Take the following into account:
A space-saving cabinet is often tall and narrow. This makes better use of the wall, but makes an anti-tip fitting particularly important. With a wide, low cabinet, the stability is usually distributed differently, but a level surface is still essential.
A chest of drawers or cabinet with drawers works well for clothing, cables, toys, stationery and accessories. As well as the number of drawers, look at:
A fabric chest of drawers is lightweight and practical for bedrooms, student rooms or temporary accommodation. However, the product information for the JOYFURNOS models states that the fabric drawers are not washable and should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not store wet items in them, and avoid placing heavy objects in these drawers.
A modern storage cabinet made from chipboard, metal or MDF may be intended for a different use from a plastic chest of drawers. For a bedroom, fabric, metal and wood-effect board materials are often perfectly adequate. In a bathroom, clearance from the floor, ventilation and maintenance are more important.
According to the product description of the HaluPeit bathroom cabinet, the model is made with moisture-resistant MDF and metal components. This is information from the supplier, not a general guarantee that the furniture can withstand unlimited exposure to water. Therefore, do not place a bathroom cabinet in direct contact with standing water, and wipe up splashes promptly.
A cabinet with adjustable shelves offers greater flexibility for tall bottles, crockery, books or storage boxes. For a kitchen, load capacity, worktop height and the position of sockets are practical points to check. A cabinet with LED lighting can provide additional ambience or task lighting, but check in advance how the lighting is connected and where the cable exits.
Why it suits this profile: This compact chest of drawers is designed for small items in a home office, bedroom or hobby room. With five drawers and a total capacity of 3.7 litres, you can organise accessories by type.
Measuring just 12 x 15 x 25 cm, it is clear from the outset that this is a small organiser rather than a large wardrobe.
Polypropylene, five drawers, a weight of 330 grams and a drawer capacity of 740 ml per drawer.
Why it suits this profile: This model is ideal for households looking for a permanent bathroom cabinet with enclosed compartments, open shelves and a flexible layout.
The description states that it has three adjustable shelf heights and a 12.5 cm raised base. Nevertheless, check the flooring and ventilation before placing the cabinet in a damp room.
Dimensions of 35.5 x 100.5 x 75.5 cm, two doors, three open shelves and an anti-tip fitting.
Why it suits this profile: This large storage unit is designed for kitchens, dining rooms or living rooms where a worktop, enclosed storage and power points come together.
The specifications list dimensions of 40 x 100 x 180 cm, two sockets and two USB ports. Measure the wall first and plan the electrical connection accordingly.
Adjustable shelves, two drawers, a 100 x 38.5 cm worktop, LED lighting and an anti-tip kit.
Why it suits this profile: Seven drawers make it easy to sort items in a bedroom, dressing room or living room. The wide design offers space for clothing and accessories without taking up the height of a tall bedroom wardrobe.
The supplier states a maximum load of 3 kg per drawer and advises against placing heavy items in the fabric drawers. This clearly defines the product’s usage limits.
98 x 28.5 x 85 cm, adjustable feet, seven drawers and an anti-tip fitting supplied.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Place the cabinet on a level surface and follow the assembly instructions. Use the supplied anti-tip kit if one is included with the product. Secure the cabinet to a suitable wall and check beforehand that there are no pipes or cables where you plan to drill.
Its lifespan depends on the material, assembly, load and maintenance. Board materials should be kept dry, fabric drawers must not be loaded beyond their stated capacity, and hinges or drawer runners should be kept free from dirt. A cabinet that stands securely and is correctly attached to the wall will generally be subject to less mechanical strain.
An LED strip generally uses electricity when it is switched on. Actual consumption depends on the wattage, how long it is used and the connection. Check the energy label or technical information for the specific model. With a cabinet featuring sockets and USB ports, bear in mind that connected devices may also use electricity.
