Furniture business is a business that:

— does not require cash investments;
— has profitability from 80 to 300%;
- the product of which is used by all civilized people of the earth;
— can exist and develop regardless of the technical equipment of your future enterprise;
- will never end;
— every year it develops more and more.

A business that people are already doing and quite successfully... A business that even a full-time student can start.

The furniture business can be dusty, heavy, and problematic, or it can be simple, profitable and interesting. It all depends on which approach to choose and how to do it.

If you are greedy, you will get a lot of work, if you are not greedy, you will earn good and quick money.

I'll tell you about both approaches, but I'll explain more about the latter approach.

It's simple. Let's look at specific example manufacturing the most complex type of furniture - the kitchen. Why is the kitchen the most difficult type? Because the kitchen package includes the most different fittings and materials, this is the first thing, and the second is that all the details are small, and even the smallest defects immediately catch the eye.

Let us take this expensive kitchen as a basis:

What can you say about her? Large expensive kitchen... Made from the most modern materials. It is relatively expensive, 48,000 rubles excluding household appliances, stove, oven and microwave oven. Honestly, its price in the store will be higher by 15 thousand for sure.

I made this kitchen myself, with my own hands. No worse than in the showrooms of “Italian” furniture. The facade is made of framed MDF and has a built-in household appliances, backlight, deep drawers, roof rails, long handles. The boxes are made of high-quality German laminated chipboard and covered with a 2mm PVC edge. All fittings installed in the kitchen are German, from Hettish. The kitchen is no worse than its Western counterparts, either in quality or price.

Can you make such a kitchen yourself? No? What's the difficulty? Don't know how to do this? Well, okay, I'll try to convince you otherwise.

Take another close look at this kitchen. Would you be able to assemble it yourself, with your own hands, if you were given everything disassembled, with a clear sketch of each individual cabinet or bedside table and all the necessary bolts and nuts attached to this “designer”?

Have you thought about it? What if they gave you, say, 24,000 rubles for collecting it?

And on top of that for installation is 8% percent of the total cost, which equals 4,000 rubles?

Would it be worth it to work with your hands for 5-7 days? Do you think no one will give that much for assembling a kitchen? They will! You just need to think about it a little. Of course, if you buy such a kitchen in a store, you will receive no more than 3% of the cost for assembly, and if you “make it” yourself, you will receive no less than 50% of its cost...

Your task is to find everything and order it in certain sizes or buy it.

That is, at the first stage, you need to make clear documentation for the product, in which you will have to write down for yourself all the materials and accessories necessary for the manufacture of the kitchen and calculate all the possible costs of making the order.

What does the kitchen consist of?

And now a little more about what a kitchen consists of and what your job is to make it.

1. Box made of laminated chipboard

Every piece of furniture has a box made from laminated chipboard. Whatever you are making - a kitchen, a hallway, a children's room or whatever, you need to buy laminated chipboard, saw it and glue the edges.

Where they sell laminated chipboard, they always provide services for sawing the material and it costs no more than 50 rubles per 1 square meter.

There you can also ask to glue the edge - this service costs from 6 rubles per meter (price does not include the cost of the edge). You can glue the edge yourself - then it will cost 1.5-20 rubles per linear meter.

This kitchen required 18 sq.m. of material. (3 sheets measuring 3500*1750 mm and edges no more than 100 meters).

— sawing the material will cost you 18 sq.m.* 55 rubles = 990 rubles;
— pasting of edges 100 m. * 6 rubles = 600 rubles.

We bought the material at a regular warehouse. If you go for the material yourself, it will cost you the same as for other specialized furniture workshops, maybe 5% more than for them. They may have a discount like regular customers...

That is, you are on an equal footing with furniture companies. The only difference is that furniture companies cut materials in their production, and you take ready-made parts by paying for sawing and pasting. Everything is ordered, no manual work!!!

Facades are also made in factories or specialized workshops. All furniture makers order them. There are few people who buy a machine worth 2 thousand euros and fill a warehouse with multi-colored raw materials in order to make facades for their production.

So you are again on an equal footing with any furniture company. Both you and other furniture makers will never make them yourself - only order them.

3. Table top

Countertops are also made in huge factories, of which there are only 5 in Russia. They have representative offices in every city. So when buying countertops you are on an equal footing with everyone else.

The fact is that all tabletops are sold in sheets of three meters, and its width is standard version equal to 60 cm. But you can order any other size. You can also choose any color, there are more than 50 of them.

The only problem is to cut it straight, in required size. This problem can be solved at the same place where the laminated chipboard will be cut for you. It costs 20 rubles per cut to cut the tabletop to the required size.

4. Accessories

The fittings include: handles, hinges, edges, hinges, screws, couplers, guides, chrome pipes, dryers, etc.

Accessories are sold in any quantity and in any quantity. You just need to find a point where they sell it.

You can buy anything, if it is not in stock, it will be delivered to order. You will have access to all the same fittings as furniture makers. They also buy everything in a specialized sales store furniture fittings.

Glass is cut in glass workshops to your size. Submitted an application indicating the name of the glass and size, received finished glass. Not difficult, right? Everyone knows this. But not everyone knows about what I listed above...

6. Lamps

I think that each of you has seen sales departments different lamps. They also sell there furniture lamps. All furniture makers use these departments.

I think you've come across departments selling various sinks. They probably even asked themselves the question: “Who needs them, who buys them?” In most cases, furniture makers buy.

8. Technique

Ovens, countertops, and hoods are most often purchased at Eldorado or other stores selling household appliances.

The beauty of buying at Eldorado is that the owner of the future furniture can choose the equipment that he likes best, regardless of the price, and of course take out a loan for it, which will make the furniture more affordable. It’s cheaper for him and for you less problems with purchase.

As for installation, there are special standards for built-in equipment. It makes no difference who the manufacturer is - the external, installation dimensions will always be the same. And such equipment is always accompanied by detailed instructions on installation and preliminary calculation cabinet

What then comes of all this?

What you need to assemble furniture

All you need is to drill holes for the Euro screed to assemble the furniture and install all necessary fittings, handles, hinges, guides.

Don’t think that this is a great complexity, it’s all done quickly and simply (literally - with your own hands). All modern fittings today meet following rules– fast, easy installation, reliability, excellent regulation.

Today, many factories for the production of furniture fittings have appeared and they are all located in competition for the consumer, and the consumer is none other than the furniture manufacturer. What does a furniture manufacturer need first? So that the fittings do not cause trouble during installation and are reliable, so as not to spoil his reputation... He won’t buy another... That’s why they make them now differently than in Soviet times...

The fittings are attached easily and quickly. Speed ​​and quality are the keys to a successful business.

Let's say:

- to install hinges on the facade, install the facade itself and adjust it, without preliminary preparation Drilling holes requires 2-3 minutes;
— to screw the handle, you need to spend 1 minute (drill two holes and tighten the screws);
- mark and drill holes, assemble the cabinet - 10-15 minutes;
- drill a hole for the lamps and insert the lamp - 1-2 minutes;
- cut a hole in the countertop for the sink - 15 minutes (put the sink down, trace the outline with a pencil, cut a hole with a jigsaw and attach it to special snap fasteners.);
- saw off the required piece of chrome pipe with a hacksaw - 2-3 minutes;
- secure the chrome pipe using flanges - 3-5 minutes.

Well, everything like that... All this can be done in any garage, on the balcony, or even locally in the apartment.

Let's say, in order to assemble the kitchen that you saw above, you need to spend a maximum of 5-7 days on everything (or sacrifice three days off) - from the delivery of materials to the installation of the finished product.

If you would like to learn more about furniture production, then study the free course “Do it yourself furniture” on the website www.sdelaimebel.ru.

Furnishing an apartment is not a cheap thing. And although today the furniture market is quite wide, it happens that choosing the necessary elements that already correspond existing design, or a headset that meets all the requirements, is not so easy.

And here a wide field of activity opens up for home craftsmen. At the same time, as practice shows, it is not necessary to have great skills as a cabinetmaker or carpenter.

Can interesting items do it yourself without any special material costs or difficulties: just pay attention to the simple things that surround us and see the possibilities of transforming them or using them to create new furniture elements.

Designing cabinet furniture taking into account the interior of the room allows you to create furniture that is suitable in size and design

Our apartments are furnished with items that reflect different style preferences and financial opportunities, however, the most acceptable option for arranging residential and office premises began the use of cabinet furniture:

• it is relatively inexpensive;
• has high functionality;
• looks aesthetically pleasing;
• It is compact and has good capacity;
• It is easy to install and keep clean.

The basis of cabinet furniture are drawers (boxes) different sizes and configurations with or without doors, depending on the purpose, which is why home craftsmen most often make just such furniture elements on their own.

However, this is not an easy task and requires serious preparation. necessary materials and components. The starting point for its manufacture will be the shelves, which will be connected by fasteners.

Parts for assembling individual elements of cabinet furniture

To make cabinet furniture at home you will need:

• slabs various sizes for shelves and drawers;
• fasteners;
• glue;
• other materials.

The components for creating cabinet furniture are:

• lifting mechanisms;
• loops;
• extension and guide designs;
• separation systems;
• special products and accessories.

Furniture fittings and components for creating homemade furniture

Lifting mechanisms are available in several types.

Furniture transformation mechanisms

Main material: chipboard

Chipboard panels have a wide range of colors

Laminate (chipboard) is considered the most accessible and inexpensive. It is widely used in the manufacture of furniture, and due to its low cost, it has almost completely replaced wood. It is also used to decorate structures.

The production of laminated chipboard is based on the use of wood waste, which is converted into boards by hot pressing. Product components are bonded with urea-formaldehyde resins.

Set of children's furniture made of laminated chipboard

The material is used for making various types furniture and individual parts, in particular countertops, taking into account the properties it has:

• it can withstand high temperatures;
• some of its types are moisture resistant;
• Available in a wide range of colors and shades;
• easy to process;
• withstands heavy loads;
• sold at an affordable price.

However, laminated chipboard is not an ideal material and has disadvantages. It is not suitable for creating shaped parts and has a negative attitude towards high moisture: when water gets in, the non-moisture-resistant type swells and becomes deformed.

In addition, it requires careful handling when sawing, otherwise the varnish coating will be damaged. A certain skill is also required when drilling a laminated surface.

Other materials

In addition to laminated chipboard, other materials are also used to make furniture with your own hands. It can be:

Wood fiber products are produced in the form of pressed sheets. Fibreboard is suitable for manufacturing:

• back walls of cabinets and cabinets;
• sofa shelves;
• drawers;
• various partitions.

Fiberboard is elastic, so bent-laminated elements can be made from it.

MDF is also produced in boards. In their production, the dry method is used, which is more modern and efficient.

To produce veneer you will need solid wood; For its production, the method of peeling or planing is used. Used for cladding various surfaces or in the production of plywood.

What tools do you definitely need?

Tools you will need to make your own furniture

Depending on the chosen type of model, which will be made with your own hands, as well as the material, you may need a different set of tools. However, there is a list that is impossible to do without, no matter what type of furniture the home craftsman undertakes. It includes:

• screwdriver;
• jigsaw;
• roulette;
• drill, screwdriver;
• set of necessary fasteners.

Learning to make furniture

Any home craftsman can learn how to make various pieces of furniture on his own. However, you should not expect that this work will be easy and that everything will work out the first time. Failures are also possible, but to prevent this from happening, you need to know how to make furniture with your own hands. And you need to start with the simplest things: benches, small tables, you can make a cabinet, the design of which is quite simple.

DIY table and benches for the gazebo

The process begins with a sketch and drawing, which must be carried out taking into account the place where they will be located homemade furniture, and the parameters of the room and the product itself.

Then you need to decide on the material from which the furniture will be made. Experts say that it is better to take laminated chipboard for these purposes - the cheapest and most accessible.

DIY open white cabinet made of chipboard

The next step is to prepare the tools that will be needed to complete the work.

When the preparation is completed, you can proceed directly to production:

• prepare parts according to the required dimensions (cut);
• assemble the elements by connecting them with fastening materials;
• check the assembled structure for strength;
• install in the chosen location.

If you wish, you can decorate the finished product in accordance with your aesthetic preferences.

Despite the fact that chipboard is an accessible and cheap material, this does not mean that it does not have its own characteristics that must be taken into account when using it. If they are ignored, then mistakes and failures cannot be avoided.

The main difficulty in working with chipboard is cutting the sheets. It is usually produced on special machines, to which home craftsmen most often do not have access. Great luck It will be possible if it is possible to agree at an enterprise that has such equipment so that the material is cut to the required dimensions.

Sawing chipboard sheets and laminated chipboard requires special equipment

But at home, most likely, this work will be done with a jigsaw, which will inevitably lead to chips and wavy irregularities. The resulting “open wound” is exposed to moisture. And, if it is not eliminated in a timely manner, the material will absorb moisture and very soon begin to swell and lose its shape.

To avoid these troubles, you need to use a special edge that will cover the cut area. Today you can find several types of it on the market:

The cheapest is melamine edging. It can be glued on without any problems using an iron. True, it does not differ in quality.

Advice. PVC edge will be the most the best option, but it can only be glued using special equipment. Therefore, if such a possibility exists, this is done immediately when cutting the material into parts.

ABS edge is very similar to the previous one and has the same technical characteristics, but is made of the best materials, which do not have any hazardous or toxic components.

The use of a T-shaped mortise profile, which is inserted into a groove made by a milling cutter, is quite rare.

The overhead U-profile is convenient for the home craftsman to use. It is easy to stick on liquid nails. The only negative is that the edges will protrude a few millimeters, so dirt will get stuck under it, which means you need to keep the edges clean and clean them in a timely manner. But with such a profile you can hide a poor-quality cut.

Features of assembly made of natural wood

DIY pine wood products

Wooden furniture is distinguished by strength, reliability, durability, and environmental safety. If preference is given to it, it is worth remembering that when assembling you need to take into account the characteristics of the material:

• assembly should be carried out strictly according to the drawings;
• for self-production, it is better to choose species such as pine, birch, spruce, linden: their wood is softer and easier to process and assemble, but it is important to take into account that coniferous species must be well dried so that the release of resin stops;
• Before installation, it is necessary to treat the structural parts with compounds that prevent rotting.

Features of wicker options

Furniture can be made not only from wood or wood-based materials. Durable and beautiful products made by weaving have long been known, for which the following are used:

• twigs of willow, willow, willow and other plants;
• roots of coniferous trees;
• birch bark (birch bark), used for weaving decorative elements;
• rattan – shoots of the rattan palm;
• bamboo;
• bast - linden bark
• and any climbing plants with a fairly dense and flexible base.

Beautiful wicker furniture for home and outdoor

Wickerwork can be used for furniture:

• made entirely from plant materials using various types of weaving;
• wooden, for decorative braiding;
• combined, where used various materials and furniture elements made from them.

Weaving is used to make various items: from chairs and stools to cabinets and chests of drawers.

DIY frameless furniture

IN Lately Frameless products have become especially popular. They are very comfortable and can provide comfort and coziness. At the same time, they are easy to make with your own hands, even if you have no skills in the work.

It consists of two bags that can be easily sewn by stitching the fabric the right size on a typewriter. Filler is poured into one of them; This is usually polystyrene foam in round granules, which easily restores its shape after exposure to load. The second bag is used as a cover. It is made from various dense fabrics different colors, natural or artificial leather or a combination of different materials. To make it more convenient to fill the bag with filling, a strong “zipper” is sewn into the side of the cover.

DIY frameless chair made from old jeans

Very convenient for children, as it does not have sharp or hard surfaces, and also easily restores its shape. It is used during various holidays and parties if there are clearly not enough chairs.

Attention! For the manufacture of frameless furniture special reinforced threads will be required.

How to make furniture from chipboard with your own hands

Home craftsmen who even have minimal experience furniture manufacturing work, they claim that making furniture from laminated chipboard is not so difficult.

The simplest option in this case is to order the cutting of the material into the necessary elements according to the drawing from the company, then purchase a finishing edge in the store, then connect the parts in a convenient way (using fasteners or special glue) and glue it.

If professionals can’t cut the workpieces, you’ll have to do it yourself.

How to avoid mistakes in furniture making

The main problems when making furniture with your own hands arise in the following cases:

• the dimensions of the parts are incorrectly determined;
• incorrectly selected material;
• The dimensions and set of fasteners do not correspond to the parameters of the furniture.

To avoid unpleasant surprises, it is important to take these features into account.

The final stage is decoration

When the furniture “masterpieces” made with your own hands are completely ready, all that remains is finishing touch– decoration. And here there is complete scope for imagination! Depending on the material from which the furniture is made, it can be decorated:

• painting with acrylic paints;
• mosaic panels;
• decals, varnished;
• carry out artificial “aging” using the craquelure method;
• use the possibilities of decoupage

and other ways to decorate products.

Video: DIY furniture

The Dutch company Makkink & Bey presents unusual furniture that will be useful both in the country and on hikes. The peculiarity of the collection is that all the items do not take up much space and, when transformed, bring dynamics to the interior. Thus, the WarmteWeefsels basket turns into a small table, the VouwPlaats backpack, depending on the situation, can serve as an interesting chair or bed, and the VensterLicht cane instantly becomes a portable screen. All items are made from natural materials.

The problem of organizing free space in the event of an invasion of guests is relevant at any time. Today it is quite simple to solve it - with the help of folding chairs. And so that the chairs themselves do not get in the way under your feet, they can be used as... hangers. This idea was proposed by Canadian designer Philip Malouin.

Simple stools can be a bright and fun interior decoration if you make them with imagination. Designer Kuhyun Cho came up with a colorful collection of stools with holes in the seats. Thanks to them, furniture can be folded into a pyramid, freeing up space in the house. Or you can combine several stools with each other into intricate compositions.

Portuguese designer Daniel Viera developed modular furniture "Hexa". Big table, made of oak and walnut, consists of several hexagonal elements. Each of them can be used separately, dragged into the bedroom as bedside table and so on. And if you put them on top of each other, then instead of a bedside table you will get a whole rack.

Many people have pets that sleep on the bed with their owners. If such “liberties” are unacceptable for you, consider this solution: an interesting bedside table-house. And no one will disturb your sleep, and the four-legged family member will not be offended!

Men's affairs

A real man should have everything at hand, and this gives rise to new ideas for furniture that you can make with your own hands. Small construction and repair items can be stored in a compact “workshop”. The Tempel workbench is yours too workplace, and a spacious chest of drawers with 26 drawers for storing various small items. The highlight of this piece of furniture is the glow-in-the-dark decorative planetarium that decorates the lid of the product.

Will be a useful and interesting addition to the male “den” and brutal wooden chair, decorated with tattoos - “Old School”. The idea belongs to the studio The Cookie Bros, but the famous tattoo artist Danny Boy worked on the pictures. However, hearts, daggers, beautiful girls, animals and pistols are not all the “surprises” of this piece of furniture. The armrest of the chair can be rotated to create a table or clothes hanger. A lattice shelf at the bottom of the chair will allow you to hide shoes, magazines, bags and other things there. By the way, the designers have also developed more familiar versions of chairs in a “retro” spirit - without tattoos, painted black and scarlet.

Women's hands

Knitwear gives the interior a special softness and home comfort. Interior items from the Darono company look as if some grandmother-craftswoman worked on them. There are many amazing and useful things for the home: a knitted pendant lamp and a floor lamp, an ottoman resembling a marvelous flower, an aquarium vase and a lamp that look like fishing nets, a chair, chairs, a screen and flower pot, dressed in a multi-colored web of thread. All items are unique and inimitable.

Four designers from a Japanese company with the unusual name “6474” offered their vision of home furniture – the “Pages Chair”. This item has a non-standard seat: multi-colored flat cushions turn over like the pages of a book. This way you can adjust the height of the seat and the softness of the backrest, and at the same time paint the room in colors that match your mood.

The whole family

The “patchwork” technique is familiar, perhaps, to all women. Design studio kith&kin used it in an unusual way- making furniture. Each element of the consoles and chests of drawers was created by combining wooden geometric shapes. And let assembling furniture be a man’s job, in this case without female hand not enough.

The Bounce frameless furniture collection from Veronica Bayer consists of three pieces. They are different in size and are a kind of hybrid of stools with upholstered furniture. The largest representative of the series is, in fact, an armchair. You immerse yourself in it as if in a nest. The springy material allows the furniture to return to its original shape when not in use. According to the designer, it is best to use items together - both from the point of view of design and comfort.

Felt ottomans from Tim Webber also look easy to make. The design of unusual furniture was created following the example of duffel bags. All items have a pleasant, homely color. Small models weigh 8 kg, poufs-tables - 20 kg. However, thanks to the rope handles, the furniture can be easily moved around the room.

An uninformed person will suspect you of cruelty to animals if he sees this picture:
These fluffy chickens and other animals are just unusual footstools. They will be a good addition for country house. But most of all, children will be delighted with them: they can play with such furniture and have fun jumping on it.

Hammock – necessary thing in the country. But there is not always something or where to attach it. French designer Laurent Coriot proposed his solution - a mobile hammock that looks like a boat. This design can be placed in the garden and at home.

Agree – sitting on the steps of the stairs is very comfortable. It is no coincidence that many designers propose to organize in this place. By analogy with this design, Canadian designer Geoff Ramsey developed an original place to relax. He suggested using the top “step” as a table, and the other two were equipped as seats. This development has not yet entered mass production. So you have a chance, using the idea, to make furniture that no one else has.

Designer Philippe Aduaz took up the reincarnation of old furniture, remembering an activity known to everyone from childhood - papier-mâché. His furniture collection is striking in its originality and deliberate negligence. And the most important thing is that you can make this yourself with the whole family, applying soaked paper to the frame of old chairs, lamps and other objects.

For greater effect, Philip partially polished his products.

Shelves and racks: transforming space

Shelves and racks make our life more convenient and organized. It’s good if they themselves are beautiful designer pieces, like a three-tier shelf in the shape of a fire escape, which can also be used as a support for climbing houseplants. It's called Fire Escape Shelf.

The Helix modular shelving system from OSW design studio can transform any space. From the original elements you can assemble a cabinet of any shape, fill the entire wall with them and even decorate the ceiling.

Hocus Pocus: Surprising Guests

Even without any special skills, you can make a bench for a country house. The most basic one will be made from two logs and a plank. But in order to repeat a product from designer Isabella Voloz, more skill will be required. When you see the two-legged product “Leaning Bench,” doubts arise: how can it support a person without falling, but the author assures that the wooden bench is quite reliable and stable. So you can try to make something similar, and at the same time study the theory of balance and surprise your guests.

Do you master the art of tying? The ability to beautifully and securely braid objects with ropes can be useful to everyone. After all, in this way you can create furniture from almost any material, be it a haystack, a blanket folded several times, a box or a large gymnastic ball. But it doesn’t matter if you haven’t learned how to weave sea knots. Andreu Carulla Studio offers you ready-made solution– blank for making stools “TheStooler”. It is a product with four legs and clamps that secure the material used as a seat.

Wooden fantasies

A collection of tables in the form precious stones"Little Gem Side Table" was produced by Hinterland. Designers have given a second life to unwanted Canadian cedar logs. “Gems” can be used as stools, tables, and home or garden decor. The tabletops of the furniture are made of polished solid materials: brass, steel, black granite and marble.

Designer Maximo Riera created the “The Millennial Console” collection of consoles from the wood of dead olive trees. Over the course of a year, the master dried the material. Then the pieces of wood, stripped of bark, were varnished and placed on fancy metal structures. The designer skillfully turned all the shortcomings of wood - numerous tunnels left by insects, roughness and veins - into advantages.

“Flex” chairs from the AK47 design studio will allow you to store various items, magazines or firewood there. But you will have to work separately on the comfort of the furniture if you want to use such chairs not in the garden, but at home. The original furniture is made of flexible sheets of hardened steel. It turned out stylish, but not soft.

Furniture found in the forest - what could be better for a summer house! We offer you another idea - a table made from birch logs. This project used 34 logs with a diameter of 8-14 cm. You will also need: plywood for the table base, screws, wood glue, putty, wheels (if you are making mobile furniture), tools (saw, spatula, screwdriver).

A square or rectangular base is assembled from plywood. The sides are attached at some distance from the edges of the bottom of the box: on it, along the perimeter, you will glue the logs cleared of knots. Additionally, they can be strengthened with screws from the inside of the box. The top of the box is covered with a table top onto which birch blocks are glued.

At the end, the seams are rubbed down with putty, the excess is removed with a damp cloth. Ready product Can be coated with clear wood varnish. Attach wheels to the bottom - and another delightful piece of furniture is ready!

The kitchen set is considered one of the simple types hand-assembled furniture for inexperienced craftsmen.

Furnishings for a relaxation room and hall, as a rule, require a professional approach and the use of extraordinary materials.

Today we’ll talk about how to assemble furniture with your own hands.

The use of laminated chipboard as the main building material

Today, natural wood in its pure form is almost impossible to find in the environment. After all, headsets from natural wood are considered expensive and quite elite pieces of furniture. Therefore, the array is replaced with an affordable material such as chipboard.

In most cases, the thickness of these plates reaches 16 mm. Sheets of greater thickness are also sold. The material is cut on machines.

You can do the work at home using electric jigsaw, however, unevenness and chips cannot be avoided. After all, it is almost impossible to saw off laminated chipboard evenly at home with a jigsaw.

Edges

One of the weak points of this material is considered to be the saw cut, since it is through it that moisture passes inside most easily. In this regard, due to poor quality protection, swelling of the ends is possible. Therefore, it is preferable to cover the ends with edges, as in the photo of the furniture you made yourself below.

There are several types of edges on the modern market:

• Melamine. This is the most affordable edge of excellent quality. You can glue it yourself using a regular iron.
• PVC is excellent choice edges. Its gluing is only possible on the machine.
• ABS edge resembling PVC edge, but only created from natural material.

Facades

The façade and doors of furnishings, including DIY garden furniture, are made from the best quality material.

The facade is considered a separate piece of furniture and, as a rule, is made to order.

In cases where facades have unusual shapes, they can be produced over a long period of time.

Types of facades

Since the main function of the facade is decorative, it is accordingly offered in a wide variety. The façade differs in material, as well as in appearance.

Laminated MDF is a pressed and fairly moisture-resistant material. Usually the surface is treated like a natural array.

However, even the most durable film will crack and peel off after a certain period of time. The main advantage of this material is its affordable cost and speed of production.

In addition to blind type facades, there are options curly look under the stained glass. The glass part is fixed to a special plate.

Wood facades will appeal to fans natural materials, however, their cost is quite high. In addition, environmental friendliness is also controversial.

Note!

Painted façade to look like enamel. It has a significant disadvantage - chips and deformations often appear on the surface.

It was once exploited because of its attractive, catchy shade, but with the advent of shiny plastic, everything changed radically.

Glass facades made from aluminum are suitable for kitchen space in high-tech style. They look fashionable, but are quite problematic to manufacture and install. Unusual fittings are used for fastening.

Boxes

There are many methods for making cabinet boxes, as well as DIY pallet furniture. One of the simplest is considered to be assembly around the perimeter using laminated chipboard.

If it is necessary to create an original facade, it must be screwed onto the frame main part from the inside.

In addition, the facade is often attached to eccentrics in the form of one of the walls of the box. In this case, the main task is not to assemble the necessary box, but to secure it correctly.

Note!

Doors
