Is it a cheap imitation or is it a real jewelry armoire? How do you know, well at the end of this article you will be able to for the most part tell the difference between the two.

The first thing that most people would think that we need to look at would be the price tag. Wrong, the first thing that we should be looking at is the material that the armoire is made out of.

A good way of telling if the armoire is of high quality is to smell it. If the box smells like a forest with a very sappy and piny smell then it is more than likely made from pine. If the wood smells like a cedar hope chest then it is made from cedar, and if it smells like a sweet and sour candy then more than likely it made from the cherry tree.

The next test that can be used while observing the jewelry armoire is the fabric test. All that you have to do is to look inside and see what kind of material is covering the inside of the box. If the material is that or silk, satin, or velvet then there is a pretty good chance that this is going to be a fairly nice armoire.

This next thing is almost as important as what the armoire is made out of. What holds the jewelry armoire together is a very important thing as well, especially if it is pegged. A pegged jewelry armoire is always going to be more valuable than one that is assembled with nails and glue. The reason that this is, is because it takes a skilled craftsman to peg a piece of furniture.

The price tag is the last thing that I look at when inspecting a jewelry armoire. The reason that this is, is because all of the other things stated above are a parts of the jewelry armoire, but the price tag can be added to or subtracted from. For this reason it is the last thing that I look at.
