The life and stability of the two are two to three times, and the cost is 5%. It can be identified by the packaging and the installed cabinet. If the independent cabinet is assembled in a single cabinet, each cabinet should have an independent package; it can also be observed in front of the cabinet installation table. The use of anti-cockroach silent edge-sealing cabinets can reduce the impact force when the door is closed, eliminate noise and prevent cockroaches and other insects from entering. The cost of the anti-cockroach edge-sealing is 3%. It is also necessary to check whether the table top, the door panel, the box body, the sealing strip, and the anti-collision strip are processed by the machine’s membrane pressure, and whether they are pressed one by one on both sides. The sealing strip is not tightly closed, which will cause oil smoke, dust and insects to enter.
3. Composition of artificial stone: materials suitable for kitchen countertops include fire board, artificial stone, natural marble, quartz stone, stainless steel, etc. Among them, the performance price ratio of quartz stone and artificial stone countertop is the best.

5. Is it possible to provide a test report: The cabinet is a furniture product, and the state has a clear requirement to issue a finished product test report and express the formaldehyde content. Some manufacturers can only provide raw material inspection reports, but environmental protection of raw materials does not equal environmental protection of finished products. Only qualified products can prove that their products are qualified. Everyone needs to ask the merchant when buying, or you can record the number of the quality inspection report produced by the merchant and call the quality inspection department to check the authenticity.
6. Assembly method: Generally small factories or manual on-site manufacturing can only be connected with screws or rivets.

For example, in terms of color, if the whole family design is based on warm colors, the colors of the overall cabinet should also be selected. In terms of modeling, if the overall style is relaxed and lively, the style of the kitchen can also be relatively flexible, and the line and surface can be more flexible. Some changes. However, when choosing a whole kitchen, it is best to go with the designer. On the one hand, the designer can grasp the overall style; on the other hand, the designer will combine the dimensions, appearance and other aspects with the kitchen space to ensure the kitchen.
