The custom-made pieces of furniture world offers extensive possibilities that allow for spectacular creations. There are as many possibilities as spaces and clients and making a good analysis and taking into account all the elements that are going to be a part of each of the furniture pieces that we are going to create, is a priority if we want to achieve complete satisfaction for each consumer.
A very important aspect to consider when creating custom-made pieces of furniture are the wheels or legs that we are going to use, and before deciding on either one, you have to know the role or use they are going to be given.
The possibilities are many, so we at Emuca are now going to explain everything you need to know. Let’s do this!
Fixed furniture legs and feet
No matter where the custom-made piece of furniture is going to be located, you should know there is a wide variety of furniture legs and feet you can choose from. With them, you will be able to quantify the total weight to be supported and, also contribute to the home decor. The decision of which leg or foot you will need for your piece of furniture will be based on:
o The shape of the fitting
They can be cylindrical, ideal for all those homes where kids live, especially if they are little. Rectangular, that offer a much modern style. Ball-shaped, ideal for low pieces of furniture such as chests of drawers, nightstands…
Or even with astonishing shapes, curved or carved that will provide your piece of furniture with a more original look.
o The size of the feet for the piece of furniture
Another one of the features from which you can choose the custom-made furniture feet is their height or size. And you must select the one that best fits your needs, taking into account the size and weight of the piece of furniture and the needs of each client.
o The material they are made of
The material is another factor that will help you decide on one type or another. And, again, it will depend on the weight the piece of furniture is going to support.
They can be made of wood, which will also add an elegant touch to the space, of aluminium, which will prevent rusting, or of different types of steel, to obtain greater sturdiness even for furniture that is going to be inside.
Furniture wheels: move them wherever you want them at each time!
Another ideal option is to use furniture wheels to fulfil the clients’ expectations. And, of course, we can also find a wide range of models that will adapt to the different uses they are going to have. So, we can find:
o Fixed or unidirectional wheels
o Wheels with breaks
o Castor wheels
But, also, you should take into account the exterior coating according to the type of floor in which they are going to be used.
– Rubber: for parquet floors
– Plastic or wood: for carpets or rugs
– Polyurethane: for industrial floors
– Nylon: for tiles or concrete floors
The size of the custom-made furniture wheels is another factor that will help you decide, since this depends on the furniture weight itself, and the maximum weight the wheel can support once the piece of furniture is full of objects.
Remember that, whichever you choose, you should always take into account the global appearance of the piece of furniture, which should be harmonious, beautiful, useful, convenient, comfortable and functional.
