Therefore, they are divided into front, decorative part and internal, working area. The main parts of the structures:

It is not inferior in strength to metal, thanks to reinforced fibers. Depending on the components, the product takes on any color and shape. LED bulbs can be mounted in the voluminous, spherical legs of the tables of chairs, which makes club furniture more spectacular.
