| At IYOBE, it is important not only that our furniture
looks good, but that it also meets high overall safety standards. We inspect
for quality every time a product is completed. Depending on the product,
50,000 to 100,000 tests are performed randomly. We want to know how much
force it takes to destroy our product, so we test for that, as well as
other intensity issues. |
