furniture design.

Before producers start producing furniture, they must be designed. Designers have many ideas for furniture in various styles. In recent years, apart from the appearance of furniture, great importance is attached to its functionality. The approved project is sent to the production hall, where the next stages of furniture creation follow.

– Selection of materials for the production of furniture .

The furniture production process begins with the preparation of the right material. The most common materials from which furniture is made are wood and wood-like products. Manufacturers of solid wood furniture must first select a tree species. Pine is the most commonly used tree species for furniture production. The furniture is made of oak, beech and ash wood, as well as ebony or cherry.

 – Shearing and transport.

In the next stage, the trees of selected species are cut out. These works are carried out by qualified woodcutters using specialized equipment. Then the wood is transported to the sawmill. At this point, the wood is cut into boards and transported to the dryer.

– Drying .

The process of drying wood is extremely important, because it has a big impact on the quality of manufactured furniture. In a situation where the wood is very dry, it dries in the apartment as a finished piece of furniture. Then the deformation process takes place. The standard adopted for the production of furniture is humidity reduced to 8-10%. The use of this standard significantly affects the quality of furniture.
