Warranty

The longer the warranty a supplier or retailer offers, the greater their confidence in the product and its durability. In most cases, stores offer a one- or two-year warranty. Online purchases sometimes come with no warranty at all. Always check the warranty period. If it is not stated, the product probably comes with a one-year warranty - or none at all.

Barkan Mounts furniture comes with a five-year warranty - outstanding quality backed by five times the warranty offered by most competitors. Our products are designed by our engineers in Israel to last for many years and are made from top-quality materials. Our complete confidence in our products allows us to offer one of the longest warranty periods in the industry.

We proudly display our warranty certificate on every product page on our website.

Declared Maximum Load Capacity

Do you know how much weight a piece of furniture can support? The stronger the wood and the connections, the stronger and more durable the furniture will be. You also want a safety margin in case a child climbs onto the furniture, or when placing a heavy television and additional items, such as books, on a TV stand. You do not want it to break or crack.

On every product page, Barkan Mounts specifies the load capacity of each individual furniture surface, along with the loads used in safety testing. For example, the main surface of the “Erez” TV stand can support 75 kg and has been tested with 300 kg Every load capacity we declare is tested at no less than three times the stated weight.

Adjustable Feet and Frame Materials

The ability to level furniture is very important, particularly for shelving units and desks. Furniture without adjustable leveling feet may wobble.

It is also very important for the furniture’s structure or frame to be made of metal. Furniture made entirely of wood tends to have less precise connections between its components and can absorb water and moisture from the floor. Prolonged exposure to water can damage wooden furniture and cause mold to develop. All-wood furniture may cost less, but it will last fewer years and will generally be less stable than furniture that incorporates metal.

Fasteners

Whether you are buying self-assembly furniture or having it assembled by an installer, we strongly recommend checking in advance how the components connect. In most cases, manufacturers use the least expensive solution: a screw driven directly into the wood. This is a simple solution, but it has two drawbacks — it is relatively weak and is intended for one-time assembly. The screw damages the wood.

All metal and wooden components in Barkan Mounts furniture are joined exclusively using threaded inserts. These inserts are embedded in the wood, and the screws engage with the inserts without touching the wood itself. This allows the furniture to be disassembled and reassembled repeatedly for relocation without damaging it. This type of connection also significantly increases the furniture’s strength.
