hi. What type of steel do you think they used for the legs of the sideboard in the attached image. Obviously its not just mild steel rod because the item is top heavy and it would wobble pretty seriously if it wasnt something more rigid.
Would it be some type of hardened steel tube?
This furniture item is from a Spanish designer and sells in various forms in Europe for about $3k, so I assume its fit for purpose and not inclined to wobble.
And how would the bits of steel be joined together. What type of welding?
If you are going to answer, I know next to nothing about metal so please make it simple.
Cheers
