| Characteristics of high quality hotel furniture |

If you are trying to make a very expensive statement with your hotel and you want the best furniture possible, you need to be able to spot high quality furniture and distinguish it from lower quality furniture pieces. I have formed sort of a checklist or high point of opinion to look out for when you are shopping for your hotel furniture to make certain that your vendor is not substituting lower or medium quality hotel furniture and sell it off as the top of the line.
Look at the joint and satisfy yourself that the work is done properly. High quality furniture is built to last and eventually your property should be able to resell it to other properties or definitely on the secondary market. Superior construction will show you doweling and then the glue application with proper screw. If you observe, mortise and tenon joints, which are the most labor demanding types of joining, that are a bit tip off to overall quality of the piece. Dovetails or mitering are appropriate than only joining two boards. If the bottom of the drawer is not properly glued it will tend to "float" according to the change in humidity.
For superior quality hotel furniture we like to see kiln dried woods that remove as much of the moisture as possible so later the wood will not split when humidity conditions vary. We also like to see some of the more expensive woods like cherry, maple or oak on the outside with visible grain. The pieces will look like the wood on the outside was specially selected just for that item rather than just a random grain pattern. The grains should match throughout the piece.
Some of the more vague measures for the hotel furniture are the overall feel. The furniture should not make any creaking sound and remain stable. The drawers should move smoothly in and out easily and there should not be any gaps between drawers if they are not part of the design. If there are doors, they should close smoothly and be perfectly aligned. The drawer pulls and knobs should be the finest quality possible. The rear portion of the furniture is equally important to look better and finished properly.
You should know and feel quality when you see it in great hotel furniture. Please feel free to use my guide as a starter for additional research on your part.
