After selecting the bedroom furniture you require, there are a number of issues consumers should be aware of when purchasing wooden bedroom furniture.

We use a mixture of solid wood and selected veneers to construct our wooden bedroom furniture.  There is an assumption that in order to purchase good quality bedroom furniutre it must be ’solid wood’.  This is incorrect.  In many cases, a good quality veneer and wood construction can outlast a piece of bedroom furniture constructed of solid wood.  The reason is that veneer is less prone to cracking.  Bedroom furniture constructed of solid wood has a tendency to sometimes crack or split if it hasn’t been dried out correctly.  This doesn’t mean that solid wood will always crack.  It only means that wooden bedroom furniture cabinets constructed with veneers should not be overlooked as purchase options.

The best quality wooden bedroom furniture will always require the drawers to be ‘dovetailed’.  Dovetails are basically a series of ‘v’ shapes cut into the sides or backs of the drawers which attach together making solid, long lasting joints.

All of AKKA furniture’s oak cabinets and walnut cabinets have dovetails all the way round the drawer boxes.
