Production Technology

Materials are teak and Aluminium alloy.
Teak is all a dry shrinkage is wet bilge minimum deformation of wood, after professional drying treatment, stable size very wear-resisting, the shrinkage rate is the minimum deformation coefficient of the wood, good resistance to bending, wear-resisting. Therefore, suitable as muti-functional furniture.
Aluminum alloys are lightweight, which makes them ideal for use in assembly product. Aluminum alloys have a high strength-to-weight ratio, which means they can withstand high levels of stress and pressure without deforming or breaking. This makes them ideal for use in structural applications. Aluminum alloys are 100% recyclable, which means they can be reused indefinitely without losing their properties. This makes them a sustainable choice for manufacturers and consumers alike.

Operation Flow

Yourself consists of a wood core and aluminum alloy sticks. The wooden core determines its function. The aluminum alloy sticks define its frame. When using, first decide what kind of furniture you need. Metal sticks are then assembled into brackets that require furniture, which are attached with screws. Finally, the wood core is placed on the stand and secured with screws. Yourself can become different products such as cabinets, cribs, bookcases, coffee tables and so on.
