Cutting edge

Top image at right, we took a photo of a couple of our Reveal Edge samples. They feature a hardwood edge (in this case walnut), a center reveal, applied polished stainless steel and then the resin at the bottom. We've outlined it in green in the top example to give you a better view. In the bottom image, we show the edge in use against a metal chair arm. See how the metal chair arm hits the curved resin edge rather than the decorative metal, saving both the chair arm and the table edge from damage? |

Without a doubt, metal accents add class to your office furniture. At WallGoldfinger, we're creating furniture with metal inlay, bases and edges. Your office chairs may also feature metal, including metal chair arms.
That's great for aesthetics, but not so much for wear. A metal table edge can damage a chair arm, and, in turn, a metal chair arm can damage a table or desk edge. (Think of how many times you sit and rise, pushing your chair into your desk or meeting table, each day. That's a lot of banging.)
One way to compensate is with a beveled, or reverse knife table edge, allowing chair arms to slide under the table edge. We've been doing this type of edge for a long time. What's new is giving customers with the metal or square table edge they seek, but still providing protection with a WallGoldfinger resin chair arm protector.
Our
Reveal Edge is our best documented example, but as word of this solution spreads we're using it on other designs of table edges and even retrofitting existing tables with this edge.
The Reveal Edge is shown here. The resin protector is the black curved piece barely noticeable under the strip of metal. The beauty of it is you get the look of metal but also chair arm protection. As we all know, trends come and go. This is one trend we see continuing for awhile.
