The development and introduction of new hardware accessories, the update and improvement of functions, styles and quality, also give furniture styles and functions continuous updates and development. Furniture hardware can be roughly divided into two categories: decorative hardware and functional hardware. Today, with the high level of industrialized production, the two are gradually moving towards unity under the guidance of industrial design theory.
The quality of furniture depends on several aspects, such as style, material and use effect. There are various decorative parts used on the surface of furniture to embellish it, which plays a finishing touch; the use depends on functional hardware accessories, which determine the style of furniture to a certain extent.
