TOOLLESS Tool-less installation technology: ultra-convenient and environmentally friendly

The TOOLLESS toolless installation technology is independently developed by Zhiou Home Furnishing and officially applied to the new product series K-PRO in 2024, which can be regarded as a disruptive innovation in the field of furniture assembly. "With pre-installed widgets, we make it an ultra-easy, tool-free furniture installation experience. This means that we no longer have to worry about complicated manuals or too many small parts. With this tool-free technology, every moment of assembling furniture will be easy and burden-free, and we hope that more consumers who have been frustrated in the process of assembling furniture in the past will feel happy. Peter Lee, vice president of home furnishing products at Zhiou, introduced.

Zhiou home tool-free furniture installation technology

This technology uses self-developed user-friendly connectors that are pre-installed on the furniture panel, eliminating the need for any additional tools during installation. Through the previous assembly test of more than 100 daily users, we found that the tool-free installation technology can achieve 10 times faster assembly and disassembly speed on furniture products such as TV cabinets and bedside tables compared with traditional furniture installation methods. This obvious advantage greatly reduces the cost of trial and error in the installation process of users, and is very suitable for young people who move frequently.

In addition, by simplifying assembly and redundant packaging consumables, this technology optimizes the production cycle of the product, reducing costs and avoiding waste. By eliminating metal parts from plastic packaging, we have reduced the consumption of production resources by 33% and are environmentally friendly.

The K-PRO series, with its TOOLLESS installation technology, perfectly balances modern style and functional practicality, can withstand up to 50 installation and disassembly, and is suitable for a variety of home spaces such as living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and study rooms.

10 Minute Furniture Assembly Challenge: 2 The installation can be completed in half minutes

In order to demonstrate the efficient experience and user-friendliness of TOOLLESS's toolless installation technology, Zhiou Home Furnishing carefully planned and held a 5-day "10-minute furniture assembly challenge" during the exhibition. Contestants who registered on the spot were challenged to independently assemble a TV cabinet within 10 minutes. The same task with traditional installation methods usually takes about 40 minutes. This very interesting challenge attracted more than 60 enthusiastic visitors to the exhibition. By the end of the event, all participants had achieved the goal of completing the assembly within 10 minutes, and the fastest user took less than 2 and a half minutes. The winners of each day's TV Cabinet Installation Contest received a new K-PRO Series TV Bench as a prize, and as the first users to experience this innovative technology first-hand, they did not hesitate to express their admiration and appreciation for the entire installation experience and product quality.
