Chipboard is the most popular material for cheap furniture. If you are looking for where to buy wardrobes inexpensively in Moscow from the manufacturer, then you will find only options from chipboard (sometimes from MDF (a little better than chipboard) or plywood (slightly worse than chipboard). Chipboard is made of wood chips, which is glued in the press in one large plate. Despite the fact that even between different chipboard there is a difference, most manufacturers produce almost similar in properties cheap material for the production of budget furniture.

It is worth starting with the analysis of furniture to separate parts (literally bring it to the state in which it was put by the manufacturer). It is better to take all this to the garage or to the summer cottage in order to carry out work away from the residential territory (a lot of dust is expected from grinding and smells from paint).
