Abstract

Furniture is an engineering structure and is often subjected to a variety of loads during its service life. Therefore, the design and construction of furniture must incorporate the necessary strength features, to ensure it meets the strength and durability requirements in accordance with the standard of the target market. Failure in furniture is often attributed to its joints, which is the weakest link in the structure. Component failure rarely occurs in furniture, though the component size is determined by the joint design and dimension. Furniture testing is often conducted to assess the strength and durability of furniture before it is approved for use.
