Materials (edit)

- Wood. Environmentally friendly, beautiful material. It is advisable to buy structures made of well-processed wood so that it does not begin to dry out and deteriorate over time. Models made from rare and particularly spectacular breeds can be prohibitively expensive.
- Glass. It can be not only transparent, but also matte or tinted. Very beautiful and graceful cabinets are made from this material. The stores sell tempered glass products, which are difficult to damage (but, of course, possible). The glass will have to be kept clean at all times.
- Drywall... Structures of almost any shape are made from GKL sheets, since this material is flexible and pliable. They are cheap and can be customized however you like. True, such products cannot boast of special reliability and durability.
- Chipboard. A practical and inexpensive material from which a lot of different furniture is made. More often, laminated chipboard products look rustic, but, indeed, it is very difficult to find an interesting and original model. In addition, the material is toxic - it contains formaldehyde resins. Only products made of laminated chipboard of classes E-1 and E-0 can be safe.
- Metal. The most durable, reliable and strong pedestals are made of metal. They are perfect for modern interior styles, but they carry an impressive weight.
