FAQ

Is self-assembly easy?

Yes. The 9 mm dowel joint assembles cleanly. Tap square with a rubber mallet. No glue or nails required. Wedges are included.

Do I need a brace or cross?

No. For 30–55 cm there is no centre slot and no extra bracing is required.

Can I mix profiles?

Use bars from the same series (Museum 45×44 mm) for perfect fit.

Which canvases fit?

Canvas, linen and cotton. The ~10 mm ridge keeps the fabric off the bar to avoid show-through.
