Sliding wardrobes entered our life at the end of the last century. And if earlier the choice in their direction was made in order to save space, today it is comfort and excellent design. The wardrobe can become a real interior decoration, with filling that will suit both an ascetic bachelor and a lady who wants to place the maximum number of things on the minimum area. There is a wide range of offerings on the market today from wardrobes manufacturers, from small local companies to factories. Before talking about the best manufacturers of sliding wardrobes for 2020, it is worth deciding which wardrobe will be the best for us, and what we expect from the manufacturer.

What wardrobes are

The variety of models allows you to choose furniture for every taste, area and budget. Before you go in search of a wardrobe, your dream, you should think about what to choose from.

Case or built-in

According to the manufacturing method, the type of installation, two types of cabinets are made today.

Wardrobes, or, as they say nowadays, modular wardrobes, are furniture for storing things familiar from childhood, the main difference of which is in sliding doors. They represent an independent element of the interior with side and rear walls and ceilings. Among the main advantages of such sliding wardrobes, buyers note:

• the constant availability of ready-made models for sale, therefore, there is no need to wait until the order is issued and manufactured;
• factory production, which is appreciated by many buyers;
• ease of installation, regardless of the curvature of the walls and uneven floors;
• clothes do not come into contact with walls and ceilings, which does not require their preparation and regular cleaning;
• mobility, one of the main positive characteristics of such models, which allows not only to rearrange the closet as desired within the apartment, but also to take it with you when you move.

They also have disadvantages. The main one, according to customer reviews, is a small internal volume, and, accordingly, a limitation in the choice of its content and functionality. Many people note the accumulation of dust on the lid, and the impossibility of tightly fitting furniture to the wall, with a significant curvature of the latter.

Built-in wardrobes give ample opportunities for a flight of imagination and fit perfectly into the interior of a spacious hall, as well as into small rooms in a bedroom or children's room. The role of the sidewalls, back wall and top cover is played by the structural elements of the room. Of the advantages of the design, they note:

• excellent design of any suitable niche in the house, installation of a cabinet in the corner of a small room or in the entire wall in the hallway;
• production of a cabinet according to individual dimensions, taking into account the unevenness of the walls and ceiling;
• cost reduction due to lower consumption of materials, the savings from which can be directed to ordering additional elements for interior design or choosing better fittings;
• variety of design solutions.

With all the advantages, such a solution has one, but significant disadvantage. It cannot be moved to another place, and even more so, taken with you when you move.

By the form of manufacture

The customer decides which cabinet is better to buy. You should be aware that there are other selection criteria besides embeddability.The shape of the cabinet is no less important.

• Classic straight wardrobes are the perfect solution for any room. The simplicity of the design allows you to choose any filling, as long as it fits in its depth and length. And the traditional design, considered boring by many buyers, is easy to brighten up with the original design of the facade. By the way, it is these cabinets that make it possible to widely use additional elements in the form of dressers, pedestals, drawers for storing shoes.
• Corner cabinets help solve the problems of placing things in a small area. Simple triangular designs are great for a small hallway or children's room. They are located in the corner, have a straight facade, and do not clutter up the space. The internal volume is small and does not provide significant opportunities for filling the cabinet with functional components. However, for storing outerwear in a small family or the things of a child, it is quite enough.
• To increase the internal volume, corner wardrobes of a pentagonal shape or a trapezoidal shape are chosen. The first allows you to significantly increase the internal space, the second to increase functionality. In both cases, by reducing the area of ​​the room.
• L-shaped wardrobes or a symbiosis of straight and corner designs. Two straight cabinets are connected in a corner, thereby significantly expanding its functionality. This solution is acceptable for spacious rooms.
• Radial cabinets will be a wonderful decoration for your living room. Smooth lines, wavy transitions allow you to fit them into any room. And, the possibility of combining with other elements, bookcases or cupboards for storing dishes, combining sliding, swing and folding doors in one sample makes such models extremely functional. A huge disadvantage of furniture is its high price, and the complexity of manufacturing and installation. The best furniture manufacturer is really needed here. Moreover, not all companies are working with such orders.

In any case, most manufacturers of built-in furniture are ready to work with individual orders and select design solutions that will help the consumer in solving the problem of placing a wardrobe with the most acceptable conditions.

Material, accessories, technology

Most manufacturers make shelves and inner drawers from chipboard, which greatly simplifies the structure and reduces production costs. Another modern feature is mesh boxes. Lightweight, comfortable, allowing you to easily determine what is in them.

For the facade, the choice of materials is much wider.

• Laminated chipboard is one of the simplest and most budgetary options. It has a wide range of colors and is quite easy to clean. For one nuance. Chipboard should be really high quality. Otherwise, it is not durable. The top layer wears out, and stains appear on it when wet cleaning.
• MDF is a more practical and moisture resistant material. It allows you to apply a relief pattern to the surface. Of the minuses, it is not suitable for large doors, since it has an impressive mass. As a way out, manufacturers propose to increase the number of door leaves, which increases the cost of the project. Or use chipboard, covered on both sides with a layer of MDF, which, on the contrary, makes the project cheaper.
• Mirror or glass. Undoubtedly, an effective solution that will visually expand the room and give it lightness and grace. Photo printing will allow you to focus on the wardrobe as a bright interior object. It is worth asking the manufacturer whether he uses glass with a high degree of tempering and whether he sticks a special film on the back of the mirror that prevents shattering of fragments.
• Facades are also made of solid wood, rattan, bamboo and other materials. However, such products are in little demand due to their high cost, they are made to order and not by all firms.

What you shouldn't save on is fittings and cabinet filling. Pay special attention to the rollers.Steel rollers will last much longer than plastic or polyurethane rollers. And Teflon spraying will make the door movement virtually silent. A bearing and a thick rim are desirable.

By the way, if there are naughty children in the house, then you should give preference to sliding wardrobes with top guides. Perhaps they are not so aesthetic, but they are not subject to being squeezed out of the grooves and falling.

Internal content can be anything. Currently, the choice is huge. Shoe racks, pantographs, all kinds of containers and storage boxes, trousers, pull-out hangers, hanger bars, lighting and even shelves for cats that have a special affection for wardrobes. It is desirable that the moving parts are metallic and of good quality.
