Why Dents Ruin Custom Furniture (and How to Avoid Them)
Singapore’s humid climate and high-traffic homes demand furniture that withstands wear and tear. Dents, scratches, and warping can diminish the aesthetic and functional value of custom pieces. At MRETTY, we specialize in ENF-grade OSB and aerospace aluminum honeycomb technology to create furniture that resists dents while blending seamlessly with Singapore’s modern interiors.
Step-by-Step Guide to Dent-Proof Custom Furniture
1. Choose High-Density, CertiPUR-US Foam
Singapore’s humid environment accelerates material degradation. MRETTY uses CertiPUR-US-certified foam with low VOC emissions and superior density (25mm thickness) to prevent sagging and denting. Unlike competitors, our foam is sandwiched between E0-grade lacquered surfaces, ensuring scratch resistance.
2. Opt for Hidden Hinges & Reinforced Structures
Traditional hinges weaken furniture over time. MRETTY’s J-shaped slot design and hidden hinges distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure points. Our thickened door panels (25mm) and partition reinforcements add structural integrity, critical for Singapore’s dense living spaces.
3. Prioritize Moisture-Resistant Finishes
Humidity causes wood warping. Our E0-grade, five-coat lacquer system includes a waterproof primer, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Unlike standard finishes, this technology prevents moisture absorption, keeping your furniture dent-free and pristine.
4. Invest in Precision Engineering
MRETTY’s aerospace aluminum honeycomb core provides unmatched stability. This lightweight yet durable material minimizes flexing, even under heavy loads. Competitors often use lower-grade particleboard, which dents easily under pressure.

5. Regular Maintenance & Protection
Preventive care is key. Use our protective film during installation to shield surfaces. For soft furnishings, pair with MRETTY’s mattress protectors and waterproof tablecloths to avoid accidental spills and indentations.
