Create a One of a Kind Credenza

If you're like most homeowners or apartment dwellers, you're always looking for extra storage space, but you want beautiful and unique furniture, too. Fortunately, you can now have both. Create a one-of-a-kind look with an art deco piece, a sleek modern design, or a sophisticated leather media cabinet. Since a storage credenza has the capacity to be a workhorse piece of furniture, you need to take care that you're buying a quality piece. Here's what to look for in a modern credenza:

What is Important

You want a piece of furniture that is handcrafted in the United States using the time-tested technique of mortise and tenon construction. Check the corners of the piece to make certain you are buying a quality piece. The wood used in the product needs to be solid kiln-dried ash and maple. Buying quality furniture will cost a bit more than something made from fiberboard, but in the long run, you will get many more years of service from it, so consider amortizing the cost over a number of years. Durability and lasting comfort should be high on your list. Different finishes are available in espresso, natural wood, gray or white paint. You want a piece that has adjustable shelving to accommodate your media, and you want panels in the back through which to hide the necessary cables in order to maintain the sleek design. Since you're buying a quality piece of furniture, expect to pay around ,000 for your new credenza. But with the flexibility to alter the look with interchangeable panels, you can refresh the look depending on your mood, the season, the room you want it in. Classic or sleek, the final look is up to you. 

How to Personalize It 

If you start with a quality piece of furniture, you can make it your own with laser cut wooden designs that are interchangeable panels, so when you tire of one look, or your tastes evolve, you can quickly update your credenza. Various designs can be either wood, embossed on leather, acrylic or made from an exotic veneer. You can choose from the designs that are in stock, or create your own, using a company crest or a business logo. These panels easily attach to the credenza door panels without even using a tool. These are ideas to take into consideration when selecting a modern credenza.
