Sheet Music Cabinet Buying Guide

If you are looking for a “fine furniture grade” music cabinet that solves music storage problems, offers reliable performance, and low maintenance… research your purchase carefully. Before ordering a sheet music cabinet from any source, get answers to the following 12 questions. Not all music cabinets are created equally.

1. Is this cabinet made from solid hardwood?

2. Are the species of woods named on the website the actual woods used, or are they lesser woods with a pigmented or painted coating?

3. Is the finish hand-rubbed or “sprayed”?

4. Do the drawers have metal sliders or other hardware than can loosen or come out of adjustment?

5. Are components stapled together, or are they fitted, screwed and glued?

6. Is the cabinet completely handcrafted by skilled craftsmen in the USA, is it made elsewhere, and merely painted in America?

7. Is the cabinet signed and dated by the craftsman who made it?

8. Can I request minor custom changes to the cabinet at minimal or no extra costs?

9. Do I have options in selecting drawer pulls and knobs?

10. Can a cabinet be designed and built specifically to meet my needs?

11. May I speak with the craftsman who will make my cabinet?

12. What is the procedure if I choose to return the cabinet?
