These components are made of welded metal sheet, which when crossed together determine the main parallelepiped structure of different sizes, including a horizontal upper part inclined at 45 ° inwards, which is the base on which the top will be placed marble and a lower flat frame connecting the vertical support elements. Frame tables are created for both indoor and outdoor environments: the first ones made from a painted metal structure and a marble top of different finishes; the latter instead of a structure entirely in painted and treated metal.
