Storage Cabinets

How to choose a storage cabinet

• Depth for what you store: folded clothes, linen and boxes fit in a cabinet of about 35 to 50 cm deep. Files and books need even less.
• Shelves you can move: adjustable shelves let you fit tall boxes or folders. Check how many shelves come with the cabinet.
• Shelf load: a narrow particleboard shelf often holds 10 to 15 kg, so keep heavy items low.
• Doors and space: hinged doors need free floor in front to open. Measure the gap before you order.
• Wall fixing: tall cabinets must be fixed to the wall with the supplied fitting.

Common mistakes when choosing a storage cabinet

• Heavy things at the top: this makes a tall cabinet top-heavy. Keep the weight low.
• Overloading a shelf: too much weight bends a shelf, so spread heavy items over several shelves.
• Forgetting the doors: a door that hits the bed or another door only opens halfway.
• Skipping the wall fixing: a cabinet that seems stable can still tip when a child climbs it.

What size storage cabinet for a small room?

Choose a slim one-door cabinet of 40 to 50 cm, such as the Lucas. Leave enough room in front to walk past and open the door.

• Width: 40 to 120 cm.
• Height: 148 to 184 cm, most around 180 cm.
