The visible result depends on both the selected slab and the less visible decisions about support, fabrication, assembly and protection in transit.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Translate the brief into a controlled specification<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process begins with the table dimensions, intended use, seating plan, visual references, stone preference, base direction, finish and delivery constraints. Open questions should be recorded before a quotation or drawing is treated as final.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Review the stone and cutting composition<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a material direction is chosen, the actual slab or an agreed visual range is reviewed. The cutting layout establishes vein orientation, major pattern placement, possible joints and the relationship between the top and edge pieces.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Engineer the structure and issue shop drawings<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The base and tabletop are coordinated as one assembly. Shop drawings define dimensions, support points, connections, visible thickness, clearances and on-site assembly. A new structure may require a sample or prototype before a production quantity is released.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Fabricate the top and base<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stone is cut, edged and finished to the approved drawing. Metal or timber components are fabricated and finished separately, with interfaces controlled so the pieces can be assembled without loading the stone incorrectly.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Trial fit and inspect<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A trial fit checks alignment, stability, fixing access and the visual relationship between top and base. Quality inspection should compare the completed table with the approved slab record, finish sample and current drawing rather than with an unrelated catalogue image.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Protect, pack and hand over<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Packing must protect faces, edges and corners while keeping heavy components controlled during handling. The shipment record should identify separate packages, assembly information and care guidance so the table can be installed and maintained as specified.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A stage-by-stage view of the decisions that turn a design brief, selected slab and engineered base into an approved custom table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-insights"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59,"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24\/revisions\/59"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diankefurniture.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
