Metal Furniture

Metal furniture generally consists of metal legs or frame and nylon webbing or upholstery of some type. Metal furniture is made from either aluminium or steel (iron) and once the finish coat is applied, it is difficult to identify the specific type of metal with which the furniture is made. One way to tell the difference between aluminium and steel is to place a magnet on the surface of the metal. Steel is generally more expensive than aluminium when used in furniture. However, the price varies with thickness and specific type of metal as well as the finished use. Moreover, aluminium must be thicker than steel to be as stronger.

Aluminium furniture is very popular because it doesn't rust, however it gets oxidized. When aluminium oxidizes it turns chalky white. Better quality furniture is usually made of either cast or heavy tube aluminium.

Steel, on the other hand, is made of a strong tough metal consisting of iron alloyed with various small percentages of carbon and other metals. Steel is divided into low, medium and high carbon. Most of the metal furniture is made of low carbon steel because it is less expensive and the strength of high carbon steel is not needed for furniture.

The quality of metal furniture depends on the weight of the furniture, the way the metal is joined, sturdiness of the furniture piece, reupholster potential, vent holes and the use of floor protectors. Moreover, the finish applied to the metal furniture is equally important for its durability. The most common finishes used on metal furniture are anodized, brass and chrome plated, brass, plastic and painted.
