I found out that a lot more went in to making the boxes than one might imagine.
Welds were checked.
Paint was tested to ensure it was lead free.
Glues were tested to make sure they didn't contain banned substances etc. etc. etc.
Loads of compliance testing was done.
The new managing director wanted to shift production to China. The first batch were excellent, the company's QC was on site checking everything.
The shipments after the QC left site were disastrous.
Not one cabinet was fully painted.
Where they were painted, the metal hadn't been dipped to remove impurities so the paint flaked.
Paint used for doors often didn't match the rest of the unit.
Welds weren't strong enough.
Another business I worked with purchased a consignment of structural steel from China meant for a major high-rise construction project. Another disaster. Despite official certifications as to quality, specifications etc, the stuff was proved to be utter carp suitable only for scrap on arrival.
The Chinese aren't the only ones though: www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/08/tata-steel-crisis-senior-staff-suspended-sfo-probe
