Screws loosen over time as wood expands and contracts, which is exactly why traditional joinery avoided them in the first place.
How Interlocking Joinery Works
The Kosho Bench uses parts that lock into each other under pressure, no metal fasteners to work loose, rust, or need periodic tightening.
Why It Lasts Longer
Wood moves naturally with humidity, and joinery designed around that movement stays tight instead of fighting it. Screwed furniture often loosens exactly because the screws resist the wood's natural expansion.
The Honest Verdict
This isn't just a craft flourish, it's a genuinely lower-maintenance construction method. No hardware to check, tighten, or replace, ever.
