Bathroom furniture
When our customers from Vicenza and Verona come to visit us in our shop to have a bathroom redone, they know that one of the main expenses is the bathroom furniture. When it comes to bathroom furniture, the furniture alone often costs almost as much as everything else (sanitary fittings, taps, shower cubicles, etc.). But it must be said that the right furniture, and in particular the furniture itself, has a considerable impact on the final effect of the bathroom.
So, how do you choose a bathroom furniture unit? What are the criteria to follow and the precautions you should know in order to buy the right one for you? We will try to resolve these doubts with this article where we will examine this subject in depth.

Deciding on bathroom furniture
Choosing the bathroom furniture is a complex decision, as you have already realised, because it is the protagonist of the room and because it has to satisfy several needs:
- Help us to carry out the tasks we do in the bathroom efficiently;
- Resist the stresses to which it is subjected;
- Resist in a humid environment;
- It must be large enough to hold the products we usually keep in the bathroom.
It should also match the surfaces, the chosen coverings, and be able to enhance the bathroom, giving a feeling of order and cleanliness.

Bathroom furniture: wall-mounted or floor-standing?

Bathroom furniture with doors or drawers?
Bathroom furniture also differs in the type of closure of the compartments, which can be with doors or with pull-out drawers. I can tell you straight away that the drawer is more convenient because it allows access to the contents from above, although it is important to invest in a good hinge otherwise it will have problems over time.

What material should be used for the top of the bathroom furniture?
The furniture top is the most stressed part. The market offers various possibilities including glass, Corian, wood, stoneware, marble, metal, laminate or lacquered. Some of these tops are super resistant, others present problems or limited durability.
We analyse them in the article dedicated to bathroom furniture with porcelain stoneware tops, explaining the pros and cons of the various materials and why we prefer modern stoneware tops:

What is the best interior structure for the cabinet?
Many materials are used to make the 'shell', the interior of the bathroom furniture.
These include:
- Solid wood
- Plywood
- MDF
- Lacquered
- Aluminium
Certainly the internal structure is less important than the top of the furniture, but in the long term, having a structure made of materials that can withstand moisture without problems is certainly a great advantage. MDF structures (a kind of plywood) covered in laminate, although the most popular type of bathroom furniture, do not have the ability to withstand humidity for long.
