To many, an industrial cabinet refers to a sleek, modern-looking, and aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture. This may not be entirely false as it depends on the design but not even entirely true. An industrial cabinet is, however, a cabinet designed to withstand the wear and tear of the objects it holds. It is meant for heavy-duty purposes as well. Examples of places that use industrial cabinets are laboratories where harmful chemicals need to be placed. Steel and stainless steel cabinets are used for heavy storage, supporting a 200-pound worth of weight load. Most of these cabinets aren’t so much pleasing to the eye as they are utility-driven.

Therefore, if an industrial cabinet needs to look smart in an office setting and blend in with the rest of the décor, we suggest custom furniture. An office setting demands a professional look while considering the style of the room. A worn out industrial cabinet may not offer the most professional look in an office setting. Here, at East Connection, we provide industrial cabinets that serve two important purposes – support heavy items and look great! It is important to note that these cabinets are durable and can withstand harsh treatment on a daily basis.

Durable furnishings resolve a lifetime of maintenance issues

Furniture that is durable and can withstand heavy load will never let you down. Standard cabinets will, however, quickly break down within a year or require fixes.

Even kitchen cabinets require industrial strength. These cabinets are used for storing non-perishable food items and food-filled containers. These cabinets are designed to maintain heavy loads as they are also mounted on the walls above the kitchen platforms.

Industrial furnishings, therefore, have to sustain durability in all types of designs. This type of furniture helps alleviate fixing issues as there would hardly be any. This also eliminates wasting finances on cabinet repairs or ultimately buying new ones to replace the irreversibly broken cabinet.

So, how do we know which cabinet is strong and can withstand the test of time? How does one define the weak from the strong?

Five qualities that define a good industrial cabinet

There is a way to check if an industrial cabinet meets the standards that it promises.

The Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association (SEFA) cover the following aspects.

1. The cabinet constructed should have strength and integrity.
2. When under stress, the cabinet should maintain structural integrity.
3. The hinges and draws should entail the strength of a lifetime without the need for replacement.
4. Under the impact of falling loads, the Integrity of drawer bottoms and joinery should be intact.
5. The work surfaces and fixtures should effectively resist chemicals and their corrosive features.

The above qualities if not present in the furniture can be designated as standard cabinets not meant for heavy-duty.

An industrial cabinet can be custom-made based on your requirements. At East Connection, we ensure that you are offered the best custom furniture depending on your needs. We are here to answer your queries and help with the best selection.
