School desk frame fabrication in Kenya

Supply school desk frames to the institution-approved dimensions.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sample order: Two school desk frames made to the school’s approved top template and user-size brief. Competent furniture designer/fabricator determines height, stability, edges and top attachment. No universal age-based ergonomic dimension, classroom fire certification or load claim is invented. Buyer supplies or separately orders tops.

Who is the first customer?
