About Square and Round Kiti chenye Matumizi Mengi

Square and Round ni kiti chenye matumizi mengi kilichotengenezwa kwa mbao za mti wa beech na akriliki. Uso wa akriliki unaoonyesha ndani unadhihirisha muundo wa mbao wa ndani. Kikiwekwa upande mmoja, uso huo huunda kiti chepesi. Kikigeuzwa juu chini, uso huo huo huwa meza ndogo ya pembeni yenye sehemu iliyodidimia ya kuwekea funguo na vitu vingine vidogo. Sehemu zake zimeungwa kwa muundo wa jadi wa ufunguo wa dovetail maradufu, hivyo hakuna viunganishi vya chuma vilivyotumika. Kiti kinaweza kutenganishwa kwa mkono baada ya kupata ufunguo wa kufungia. Ufungashaji bapa hupunguza ujazo wa usafirishaji.
