Board Quality
Check the melamine board thickness and density for sturdiness. Good boards feel solid, resist warping, and hold screws well.
Edge Banding
Clean, sealed edge banding prevents moisture seepage and chipping. Poor edges peel easily and look untidy over time.
Hinges & Hardware
Soft-close hinges and smooth runners improve daily comfort. Ensure alignment is straight and doors close evenly.
Ventilation Design
Vent slots, gaps, or breathable layouts help reduce odour and humidity buildup—especially in enclosed cabinets.
Capacity & Layout
Choose shelf height and compartment sizing based on your footwear mix (sneakers, heels, boots) for better usability.
Finish & Scratch Resistance
Melamine surfaces should look uniform and be easy to wipe clean. A quality finish resists minor scratches and stains.
