What the AI looks for in Storage Cabinets
- Anti-tip anchoring
- Anchor any tall cabinet to the wall with the included hardware or a tip-over restraint. Tall, narrow cabinets can tip over onto children when doors are opened or shelves are climbed.
- Shelf load and span
- Check the stated weight limit per shelf. Wide, unsupported particleboard shelves bow under cans or books. Shelf sag is the most common failure in flat-pack cabinets.
- Material for the room
- Keep particleboard and MDF out of wet or very humid spaces. Use metal or plastic cabinets in garages and utility rooms. Engineered wood swells and delaminates with moisture.
- Hinges and adjustability
- Prefer adjustable concealed hinges and adjustable shelf pins. Adjustable hinges let you realign doors, and adjustable shelves fit your actual items.
- Depth
- Measure the depth of the items you plan to store before you buy. Shallow accent cabinets often can't fit small appliances or bulk packages.
