The interface is drawn, not discussed
One drawing shows both the metal face and the carcass edge, with the ownership of each surface marked.
If skippedEach trade assumes the other will close a 6 mm gap, and neither does.
Fixed furniture:
our metal,
someone else's box
The metal is the part everyone sees. The reason it goes wrong is almost never the metal — it is the 6 mm nobody agreed to own.
Fabricated in 304 or 316L in our own factory in Foshan, then trial-assembled before packing.

01
Where metal meets other trades
Fixed furniture is the only category on this site that is never a metal job on its own. The metal is the face; someone else owns the box behind it.
| Element | What it is | Hard part | What we control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reception desk faceThe clad front of the front desk | Curved or faceted metal face over a millwork carcass. | The carcass is built to a different tolerance than the face. | Face radius ±3 mm |
| Bar frontThe visible front of a bar counter | Rolled or folded panels, joined into one run. | It must hide the working side and still be removable. | Joint 3 mm ±0.5 mm |
| Vanity counterWashroom counter with integrated basin | Folded top with a welded or pressed bowl. | Water sits on it every day, and the weld is the weak point. | Weld polished, no pitting |
| Table topFixed or loose metal-topped table | Folded or pressed top on a frame, edges formed. | A 1.5 mm top with a soft edge sounds hollow when touched. | Flatness 1.0 mm / m |
| Skirting and trimThe transition from wall to floor | Folded profile, fixed or shadow-gap. | It is the first thing that gets kicked and the last thing anyone details. | Gap per approved detail |

How a furniture package runs
The critical step is not cutting metal. It is agreeing with the joinery shop who owns which millimetre.

Fit to carcass, then crate
Trial crew
Assembled onto a replica carcass
We trial-fit onto a replica carcass, not just onto each other. If we only prove metal-to-metal, the first time the face meets the real box is on site — and the box was made by someone working to a different drawing.

What goes wrong in fixed furniture
Weld dressing happens before finishing
Visible welds are ground, dressed and polished, then inspected, before the part goes to plating.
If skippedPlating sits in the filler differently and every weld shows as a ghost line under a mirror finish.
Removable panels stay removable
Service panels get a fixing that can be undone without destroying the finish.
If skippedThe panel is fixed permanently, the pump behind it fails, and the wall is cut open.
