When planning to buy a jewelry armoire, the first thing that must be quickly and permanently removed from the mind is the idea of a cabinet. The jewelry armoire is not a cabinet. It is more similar to a jewelry box. Buying a jewelry armoire should be similar in buying a jewelry box. With this more desirable mental orientation, a person can then consider these three categories of tips in buying a jewelry armoire: personal needs, product quality, and customer service.
Personal Needs
Each jewelry armoire is unique. While it is possible to find two jewelry armoires that look the same on the outside, there is a high possibility that the interiors are very different. There are stacks, drawers, hooks, folding tops, and mirrors which are constructed and combined in various ways. But which combination is needed? Which jewelry armoire is best?
To choose the best jewelry armoire is to first stop looking at jewelry armoires. No jewelry armoire will have a label that it is the best. To choose the best is to take stock of the personal collection of jewelries. For example, does a person have more necklaces than bracelets? What kinds of earrings are most numerous? With the whole jewelry collection in mind, it becomes easier to decide the features that are important in a jewelry armoire. If there are more necklaces than bracelets, there must be enough hooks in the jewelry armoire to hold all the necklaces. If there are more brooches than earrings, the pull-out drawers are deal breakers.
Product Quality
The next thing to consider is the product quality of the jewelry armoire. The customer must keep in mind that jewelry armoires are supposed to last for at least a couple of generations. This means that the construction must be durable. The use of the jewelry armoire, which includes pulling out the drawers and opening the mirrors, must give the least possible stress on the whole construction. This does not imply that a customer must grab a textbook on wood construction. There are just a few things that must be checked before buying the jewelry armoire.
The first thing to consider is the velour, which should line all the compartments of the jewelry armoire. The color of the velour is less important than its ability to protect the jewelry from nicks, grazes, and scratches. The second thing to consider is the design of the drawers, especially the top drawers. The recommended design for top drawers is the presence of multiple dividers. These dividers keep the jewelry from tangling with each other. And the third thing to consider is the sturdiness of the features of the jewelry armoire. Some of the questions to ask are these: Will the mirror come off if I am in a hurry and grab it to see how I look? Will the hooks give way to the weight of my new monstrous necklace? If the answer to both questions is yes, then the product quality is suffering.
Customer Service
And finally, the customer service should be impeccable. A customer is entitled to walk out of a store if the people at the store are rude. At the same time, a customer must know that customer service does not stop as soon as the customer leaves the premises of the store. The store should have guarantees about the durability of the jewelry armoire. There should also be a no-hassle return policy.
