Essence of the research

Furniture expertise covers the actual quality of the product, compliance with the contract and design, condition of materials, joints, and fittings. For custom furniture, measurement, manufacturing, delivery, assembly, and acceptance are analyzed separately.

Who conducts the research

Furniture examination in Moscow is carried out by expert product examination expert Andrey Viktorovich. The work takes into account the object, documents, questions posed, technical documentation, condition of the item, signs of use, damage, completeness, and possibility of further use.

Objects and materials of the research

case, built-in, and modular furniture
tables, chairs, beds, and wardrobes
office and commercial furniture
products made of solid wood, MDF, chipboard, and combined materials

Characteristic defects and controversial signs

chips, scratches, cracks, and peeling of coatings
violation of geometry and stability
door misalignment and unsatisfactory hardware performance
non-compliance of dimensions, color, or configuration

What the product examination expert determines

Identification of the object and its compliance with the submitted documents
Presence, location, and severity of defects, damages, and other commodity signs
Probable stage and mechanism of formation of the identified deficiencies
Impact of defects on completeness, appearance, and usability
Sufficiency of product examination methods or the need for another specialist

Questions that can be posed to the expert

Does the furniture comply with the contract and specifications?
What defects in manufacturing, delivery, or assembly are present?
Are the identified deviations permissible?
Is it possible to eliminate defects locally without reducing quality?

How the research is conducted

Preservation of the object, its labeling, and connection with documents are checked
signs are recorded related to the following objects: case, built-in and modular furniture, tables, chairs, beds, and wardrobes
Photographic documentation is performed, and if necessary — available measurements and comparison of similar elements
The actual condition is compared with the contract, instructions, acts, and the chronology of events
Conclusions are formulated separately for each issue, indicating any limitations

Documents and source information

contract and annexes
sketch, design, specification, and measurement sheet
delivery, assembly, and acceptance acts
photos before and after the correction of defects

Scope of competence

Built-in furniture may be associated with wall and floor irregularities or engineering communications. For such issues, a builder is needed, and for the market cost of correction — an appraiser.

Cost and timeframe

The cost is determined after examining the object, the number of issues, the volume of documents, the need for a site visit, laboratory work, or the involvement of other specialists. Before starting the study, the scope of work, timeframe, price, and format of the final document are agreed upon.

Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to start with photographs?

Yes. Competence, the composition of materials, and the need for inspection can be determined from photographs and documents. A categorical conclusion about the nature of a defect usually requires direct examination of the object.

What if the object has already been repaired or modified?

It is necessary to provide acts, work orders, and photographs before intervention. The report separately considers which features could have been lost or altered.

Will the report be suitable for a claim or court?

Yes. A specialist's report can be used for a claim, negotiations, preparation of a lawsuit, objections, or a motion for appointment of a judicial examination. If the examination is appointed by the court, the final document is issued as an expert’s report within the scope of the questions posed.
