12 things to check before accepting a custom kitchen, wardrobe, or other furniture in Batumi

How to check furniture quality before signing the acceptance certificate

After installation, many customers focus only on the appearance of the cabinet fronts. But furniture quality depends on dozens of details that may not be noticeable at first glance.

Before signing the acceptance certificate, we recommend spending 10–15 minutes inspecting the furniture. This will help you make sure the project has been completed to a high standard and will serve you well for many years.

1. Check the alignment of the cabinet fronts

All gaps should be even.

Step back a few feet and look at the furniture as a whole. The gaps between doors and cabinet fronts should be consistent throughout the entire piece.

Minor variations may occur because of uneven walls or floors, but visually, the furniture should look straight, aligned, and neat.

2. Open every cabinet door

The hinges should operate smoothly.

Every door should open without squeaking, misalignment, or unnecessary resistance.

If soft-close hinges are installed, the cabinet fronts should close smoothly without slamming.

It is especially important to check tall cabinets and built-in wardrobes.

3. Check all drawers

Drawers should move smoothly and easily.

Fully open and close each drawer several times.

Check that:

• there is no misalignment;
• the drawers do not stick;
• the soft-close mechanisms work properly;
• each drawer closes on its own over the last few inches.

High-quality hardware should operate smoothly and consistently, even under load.

4. Inspect the edge banding

One of the most important checks for furniture in Batumi

High humidity makes proper edge protection especially important.

Check that all exposed furniture edges are properly covered with edge banding, with no chips, gaps, or peeling.

Moisture most often gets into the material through unprotected edges.

5. Inspect the inside of the furniture

The inside should look just as neat as the outside.

Open all cabinets and drawers.

Pay attention to:

• the quality of the drilling;
• the absence of chips;
• clean, careful installation;
• neat and precise joints.

High-quality furniture should look well made both inside and out.

6. Check how the back panel is secured

A small detail that can affect how long your furniture lasts

In many low-cost furniture pieces, the back panel is attached with thin nails.

Over time, these fasteners can loosen.

A more reliable option is when the back panel is secured with screws or a dedicated furniture fastening system.

This can significantly increase the durability and lifespan of the furniture.

7. Inspect the countertop joints

This is especially important in the kitchen.

The joints should be tight and neatly finished.

There should be no:

• large gaps;
• visible sealant residue;
• uneven height between countertop sections.

A properly finished joint should be barely noticeable.

8. Check the built-in appliances

Make sure everything is installed correctly.

If your project includes built-in appliances, check:

• that the oven opens properly;
• that the dishwasher opens properly;
• that the refrigerator operates correctly;
• that cabinet fronts do not touch or interfere with each other.

The appliances should open freely without catching on adjacent elements.

9. Check the lighting

The lighting should work without flickering.

If the furniture includes built-in lighting:

• turn it on and off several times;
• check all illuminated areas;
• make sure there is no flickering;
• test the switches and sensors.

The lighting should provide even illumination along the entire length.

10. Inspect the cabinet front surfaces

The cabinet fronts should be free of defects.

Inspect the furniture in natural daylight.

Check for:

• scratches;
• chips;
• dents;
• glue residue;
• scuff marks.

Pay especially close attention to glossy and dark-colored cabinet fronts.

11. Check the stability of the furniture

The furniture should not wobble.

Gently test tall cabinets and wardrobes for stability.

If necessary, the furniture should be securely anchored to the wall.

This is especially important for kids’ rooms, walk-in closets, and tall wardrobes.

12. Make sure the project matches the contract

Final check

Compare the finished furniture with the approved design and specifications.

Check:

• dimensions;
• material colors;
• shelf placement;
• type of hardware;
• all included components.

It is often easier to fix minor issues right away after installation than to deal with them later.
