The Mathewson Standard Mortise and Tenon: Unrivaled Strength in Flat Pack Furniture
When it comes to flat pack furniture, durability and stability are often compromised in favor of convenience. However, Mathewson Standard defies this norm by introducing a game-changing element: the Mathewson Mortise and Tenon system. This innovative joinery technique is not just a part of our furniture; it's the cornerstone of our commitment to delivering unparalleled strength in every piece we create.
The Anatomy of a Strong Joint
The Mathewson Mortise and Tenon is a time-honored woodworking technique that has been refined and perfected through nine iterations over half a decade of relentless experimentation. This is not your typical flat pack connection; it's a carefully crafted union of precision and strength.
At its core, the mortise and tenon joint involves two key components: the mortise, a slot or hole, and the tenon, a projection that fits snugly into the mortise. When expertly executed, this connection creates a remarkably sturdy bond that is capable of withstanding substantial loads and the test of time.
Solid Hardwood Construction
To further enhance the strength and durability of our furniture, Mathewson Standard utilizes only the finest solid hardwoods, sourced from reputable American suppliers. While many flat pack pieces use particleboard or lesser-quality materials, our commitment to top-tier craftsmanship begins with the selection of superior materials.
Solid hardwoods are renowned for their resilience and longevity. They possess an innate ability to endure the rigors of daily use, making them the ideal foundation for our Mathewson Mortise and Tenon joints. Our choice of premium materials ensures that each piece we create has the strength to last for generations.
The Precision of Engineering
One of the key distinguishing factors of our mortise and tenon joint is the precision of engineering. Each component is meticulously crafted to exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit. This precision is crucial because it means that the joint inherently possesses the strength required to support the furniture's structure.
Beyond the Bolt
While traditional flat pack furniture often relies on an assortment of small screws and connectors to hold it together, Mathewson Standard takes a different approach. Our Mathewson Mortise and Tenon joint is designed to minimize the need for multiple hardware pieces. Instead, we use a single bolt to secure the joint. This bolt's primary function is to maintain the perfect alignment of the components, as the joint itself provides the structural integrity.
Strength That Endures for Generations
