Furniture hardware accessories refer to the hardware parts needed in furniture production and furniture use.

my country has not yet standardized the industry classification of furniture hardware accessories. It belongs to the hardware industry, the branch of hardware and tools, and also belongs to the furniture industry, the branch of furniture raw and auxiliary materials. Therefore, there is no clear conclusion on the concept of furniture hardware accessories in China.

Development:

Chinese traditional furniture originally did not need furniture hardware accessories. The realization of all functions was based on wooden structure. Metal was only used as a decoration in furniture in ancient times. It was not until the Qingming period that metal realized simple functions in furniture (mainly wooden boxes, cabinet locks, edging, hinges, etc.). In the 1980s, panel furniture was introduced to my country from the West, and furniture hardware accessories began to be used in large quantities in furniture. After nearly 30 years of development, the role of furniture hardware accessories in furniture has become more and more important, and people's attention to the quality of furniture has also begun to shift from panels and environmental protection to hardware accessories. With the development of furniture modernization and personalization in recent years, people's demand for furniture has gradually shifted from the most primitive storage function to the demand for the experience of exquisite life, and these experiences are directly felt from furniture hardware accessories. Therefore, in the future, furniture hardware accessories will become the most critical factor in the overall quality of furniture.
