To enhance the structural strength, the table is reinforced with four wedges and two crossbeams that are made of solid oak. These components act as adhesive that tightly connects the tabletop to the frame, making the table sturdy and secure. The crossbeams join the table legs on both sides, while the wedges firmly hold all the parts together, producing a nearly flawless bond.
The use of wedges in furniture is not a new concept, it was most likely invented before the term “design” even existed. However, at Eberhart Furniture, this solution is new and unique as it has not been used in any other furniture in the collection. The Arnold table features wedges to enhance its practicality by allowing for easy assembly, disassembly, and adjustments over time. This makes it easy to transport, repair, or recycle, providing a functional solution for longevity and adaptability.
