That means ther are lots of regulations an one hand, an the other hand we have a big market for fakes. Mixing old furniture an new ons means you will have lots of problems becaus of tax evasion or fraud.

    Ahti, basically, those things are table top fasteners. Amazon sells metal ones & offers this info:
    "Table Top Fasteners provide a sturdy connection between the tabletop and apron, while still allowing the top to expand and contract with seasonal humidity changes. This prevents cracks from forming over time."
    Your hand-made wooden ones are much more in keeping with the integrity of the design.

  • @167curly

    Being of quite light construction I suggest that those shelves are for light weight ornaments etc and not as a bookcase. May I suggest that you get a rubber mallet for separating joints in wooden furniture thereby avoiding bruising or damaging the wooden parts.
