tables, audio cabinets, radio or television cabinets, piano cases, juvenile or nursery furniture, lawn
or garden furniture, frames for upholstered furniture, tables, chairs, desks, wardrobe and other
free-standing furniture items.

The operations included under this classification include the fabrication of various parts on
woodworking machines, the subsequent assembly of components into completed furniture and the
finishing process such as staining, painting, varnishing, lacquering and polishing. In addition,
hardware such as hinges, pulls, locks and casters are attached. Manufacturing wooden furniture
parts such as legs, arms, seats, backs and similar parts are also included in this classification. The
repair of furniture when it is necessary to machine new parts as replacements for damaged or
broken units is also encompassed under this classification.

In addition, this classification covers the manufacturing of products such as furniture, baskets and
hampers made from fibrous and pliant plants like palm or willow. These materials are soaked in
water to make them pliable before weaving the rattan, willow or twisted fiber into the final product.
Employers may purchase furniture frames from outside sources, which provide a foundation for
the subsequent hand weaving or winding of the rattan, willow, or twisted fiber around the frames
to produce the final furniture product.
