MATCHING NOTES

Start with the furniture mechanism.

An overhead cabinet flap, a storage-bed base, a wall bed and a reclining backrest need different motion and mounting arrangements. Note the existing mechanism and the number of gas springs used. Furniture fitted with electric or hydraulic drives belongs to a different component category.
