The nuances of choice
It is important to pay attention to the following points:
- size - if the model needs to be rolled up under a table or in a corner, it is better not to buy tall products. The design should pass freely under the countertop. This also applies to small-sized apartments;
- the number of boxes - the more they are, the more capacious the product. The best option is 2-3 sections. The stand for posters with so many drawers is small but functional. The more boxes there are, the higher the product itself, respectively, its compactness is lost;
- method of application - if the cabinet is needed to organize the workspace and free the room from excess rubbish, additional sections cannot be dispensed with. However, the smallest model with 1-2 drawers can serve as a stand or a small table;
- wheels - easily adjustable. The cabinet should not only smoothly move on the floor, but also withstand the weight of itself and the contents inside. It is recommended to choose designs with soft wheels, too hard create an extra sound when moving and can scratch the floor. In families with small children, they will interfere with a loud sound.
Such items make it easy to experiment with the style of the room.You can purchase a product contrasting in color, then it will become an accent in the room. If the cabinet should not stand out, you can choose a model of a neutral shade.
For a home apartment, wooden structures are more suitable. They give comfort and warmth, easily fit into any design style. Products are varnished, so the risk of leaving them contaminated is small. Still, do not touch them with your hands stained with oil or grease. Stains that are difficult to remove will remain.
It’s easy to take care of the trolley. If it is metal, just wipe it with a dry cloth from dust. Wooden products should also be wiped away from dust and try not to leave dirt. A convenient rolling construction is not just a piece of furniture, but a full-fledged assistant in the bedroom, bathroom, living room, office and various institutions.
