First & foremost;
Beware of offshore imitations, which at first glance may look similar to real quality but on closer perusal a realization is made that they lack the real Quality and Integrity to last many generations. Some of the characteristics to be observant of would be sub standard timber lacking consistent grain and strength. Poor quality hardware and poor slate with a high porosity level can give way to de lamination, and metal to wood joinery, because of their opposite inherent characteristics. Many offshore factories are now using technologies to provide cabinets which appear to be solid but in reality they are nothing more than carved frames made from MDF and other like composites.
