Dear Mel, the problem now days is people have no idea how this furniture are made.
Sweat, tears, blood and history are represented in this furniture. The knowledge to push the
materie to the limit. Stainless steal people don’t like because it requires thought and evaluation.
What is there to evaluate on stainless steal ?
