Planning metal and timber connections in furniture

Tables, desks and counters need attention to assembly as well as appearance.

ERSA METAL Editorial Team ·

Think of the materials as one product

An attractive frame and an attractive timber surface do not automatically make a complete design. The appearance, access and behaviour of the connections need to be considered together. Agreeing the top dimensions and the visible metal areas early helps plan the fixings.

Discuss the assembly sequence

If a fixing can only be reached before the top is fitted, the assembly sequence matters. Clearance for fasteners, access for the installer and transport conditions should be reviewed at the drawing stage. These details are particularly relevant when furniture must be dismantled and reassembled.

Surfaces and contact points

Visible welds, profile ends and floor contact points are part of the design. Share colour and finish expectations through a sample or a clear specification. Where possible, physical samples make agreement easier than screen images alone.

Before ordering

Keep overall dimensions, support positions, top information, fixing methods and quantity in one document. Share the project with ERSA METAL to review the components and connection details together.
