melamine wardrobe Explanation: or just "melamine" as an adjective. You failed to give the actual Italian text. I should forget the "structure" part or the "facing", a) because melamine is not structural at all and b) the only thing you can do with melamine in the sense of a laminate is to stick it on wooden boards. They might mean structure in the sense of a wardrobe made of melamine panels, but they would only use melamine on the visible surfaces. In another life many years ago I once made wardrobes, but only used melamine for surfaces in kitchens. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-07-21 09:59:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "two sliding melamine doors" or "sliding doors, ... in melamine (wood)". An English advertiser would put the type of wood, pine, teak, mahogany and never "wood". https://www.google.com/search?source=ig&rlz=&q="melamine doo... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2013-07-21 13:06:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Probably they mean" on thst basis your translation would be "probably right" Reading more carefully, you really do need to see the wardrobe. if it is a wardrobe and not a cupboard. Either way the whole of the front of a cabinet usually consists of doors or drawers and these are the most decorative parts. The door frames are usually mostly hidden by the doors. I imagine this is a brochure with pictures. It is so much easier to translate with the pictures, generally because what the client needs is a good an accurate brochure rather than an accurate translation. |

melamine (wood) finish Explanation: I think the effetto legno needs to be included. This TV unit with shelf space and drawers has a melamine wood finish. http://www.mrpricehome.com/Furniture/Lounge/TV-Units/Melamin... Can't find a retail outlet stocking melamine wood finish hardboard that I can use as wardrobe lining. http://www.diy-forum.net/buy-melamine-wood-finish-hardboard-...

constructed in melamine (MFC or MFMDF) Explanation: As it is an estimate and the structure (wardrobe) is made of melamine I would say it this way - if you have more information it could be MFC (melamine-faced chipboard) or MFMDF (melamine faced MDF) - this will make a difference to the cost |
