  • Furniture includes seating furniture, tables, storage furniture, indoor furniture, outdoor furniture.
  • the examples are tables, dining tables, desks, stools, sofas, chairs, dressers, cabinets, bookcases, wardrobes, shelving racks, beds, nightstands, coffee tables, etc.
  • the basic elements for furniture include panels, support frames or support frameworks, support feet or legs, and other components, and the components may be connected thus assembled by multiple connectors.
  • Furniture is often sold disassembled, partially assembled, or as a “flat-pack”. Disassembled or partially disassembled furniture takes up less space during shipping and storage than fully assembled furniture thus saves costs.
  • flat-pack packaging is widely used because of the efficient use of space.
  • the manufacturing plant designs and manufactures components such as panels, support frames or support frameworks, support feet, and connectors, and then transport them to distributors after packaging, and then sell them to consumers.

  • disassembled or partially disassembled furniture allow personal customization of the furniture. For example, a client can alternate the assembly process to his or her own taste.
  • Furniture manufacturers are thus incentivized to package basic elements of furniture items in a compact volume before transporting it to distributors for delivering to the customers.
