A painter wants to paint parts separately, but STL-027 arrives already assembled: how to buy a carved wooden underframe and coordinate finishing before ordering

In a custom furniture project, contractors are often separated. STAVROS supplies the carved frame, a separate workshop makes the tabletop, a painter handles the finish, and a furniture maker handles the final assembly. The estimate includes the usual technological chain:

receive parts → prime → paint each separately → assemble the base → install the tabletop.

For STL-027, this sequence may turn out to be incorrect already at the first step.

The product card directly indicates that STL-027 is delivered assembled: its elements are joined with a tongue-and-groove connection and additionally glued. That is, the buyer receives not four separate legs, side rails, and decorative ties, but a ready-made carved wooden frame. Planning a standard disassembly after delivery is not possible.

As of September 9, 2026, for STL-027 the dimensions 690 × 720 × 620 mm are confirmed, with beech and oak, "Prestige" sanding, "Under enamel" gluing quality, production to order in 5–10 days. Beech costs 215,460 ₽, oak — 245,330 ₽. Delivery is in a rigid box.

Therefore, the main question before payment is not "which color to choose," but whether the finisher is technologically willing to work with an already assembled carved structure. If their process requires painting each part separately, this contradiction must be resolved before ordering: change the finishing technology, agree on another option with the manufacturer, or choose a different base.

Carved wooden table base STL-027: what actually arrives to the customer

STL-027 is a ready-made carved frame in the Louis XV style with four S-shaped cabriole legs, shaped aprons, and decorative ties.

Parameter	STL-027
Size A × B × D	690 × 720 × 620 mm
Material	Beech / Oak
Sanding	Prestige
Regluing quality	For enamel
Beech	215 460 ₽
Oak	245 330 ₽
Production	5–10 days
Supply	Assembled
Joints	tongue-and-groove plus additional gluing
Packaging	Rigid box

This is a key specification of the project.

If the model is already approved, carved wooden table base STL-027 it must be handed over to the painter and furniture maker as an assembled product, not as a set of parts for subsequent assembly.

"Assembled" is a full characteristic of STL-027, not a logistical detail

The delivery format changes several project stages at once.

With a disassembled structure, the finisher can rotate each leg separately, freely reach internal surfaces, paint the aprons on the table, and assemble everything after full drying.

For STL-027, this scenario cannot be considered basic.

An assembled frame means:

• internal zones between the legs are already enclosed;
• tenon joints are already formed;
• glue joints already function as part of the structure;
• individual decorative ties cannot simply be removed "for painting convenience";
• the entire frame must be moved and protected as a single piece.

These factors affect the finisher's estimate, the timeline, and the accessibility of individual relief areas.

Buying a wooden underframe for custom finishing: the first question for the painter

Before placing an order, send the finisher:

• photo STL-027;
• drawing;
• size 690×720×620 mm;
• the material;
• information about the “Prestige”;
• quality of re-gluing;
• direct indication: delivery assembled, tongue-and-groove and gluing;
• planned final finish.

And ask a simple question:

“Are you ready to perform the required finishing on the already assembled carved STL-027 without disassembling it?”

This question is best asked before the commercial invoice for painting work.

If the specialist answers: “We will still disassemble the base into parts,” — the project must be stopped and the technology clarified. The card does not describe STL-027 as a disassemblable system.

STL-027 underframe is already glued: why mandatory disassembly cannot be included

From the photo, individual structural parts are visible: four legs, side rails, lower decorative ties. Because of this, it is easy to mistake the base for a furniture kit.

But the visual separateness of the parts does not mean they are disassemblable.

The tongue-and-groove and glue joint create a finished joinery assembly. Therefore, the line in the technical specification:

disassemble STL-027 → paint the elements → reassemble

cannot be considered a standard operation.

If the project truly requires separate painting, the right approach is not to disassemble the finished expensive product after delivery, but to check with STAVROS before purchase whether an acceptable delivery option or production finishing exists for the specific order.

Why forced disassembly is a bad "optimization of painting work"

Attempting to interfere with an already glued joint may affect:

• mounting surfaces;
• tenons;
• edges;
• carved decor;
• frame geometry;
• quality of subsequent assembly.

The article does not prescribe a disassembly method and does not advise "heating the glue," knocking out joints, or filing down nodes.

The very fact of factory gluing means that disassembly should not be planned as a routine preparatory operation.

If the chosen finish is impossible without disassembly, this is a reason to change the project technology, not to forcibly rework the product.

Buy a wooden table base: the finisher must see internal areas before calculating the price

STL-027 is significantly more complex than four straight legs.

It has:

• S-shaped cabriole legs;
• shaped aprons;
• floral and rocaille decor;
• C-shaped decorative ties;
• internal intersections and shadow zones.

Therefore, the finishing estimate cannot be calculated only by the area of external surfaces.

The finisher needs to assess in advance:

• access to internal parts;
• priming of the relief;
• sanding between layers;
• painting of recesses;
• control of runs;
• protection of already treated zones when rotating the frame;
• final degree of gloss.

If the task is — Buy a wooden table base for an individual finish, the choice of a specific STL-027 should be immediately accompanied by an assessment of its actual carved geometry.

Why an assembled frame can increase the labor intensity of the finish

When painting a separate leg, the craftsman freely rotates it around its axis and works in a comfortable position.

In the assembled STL-027, part of the relief is located inside the structure.

This may require:

• a different application sequence;
• additional masking;
• several positions of the frame;
• more time for checking recesses;
• more careful interlayer processing.

This does not mean that the assembled STL-027 "paints poorly." It means that the cost and technology must be considered as for an assembled carved product, not as for a set of blanks.

Beech underframe STL-027: correct order line

For beech, the working specification may look like this:

STL-027 / 690×720×620 mm / beech / Prestige / Under enamel / 1 pc. / assembled delivery / finish per project ___

This is significantly more accurate than the phrase:

classic underframe, beech, white.

The price of the beech version at the time of checking is 215,460 ₽.

Before payment, it should be re-verified in the product card or invoice.

Oak underframe STL-027: we do not promise a final finish based on the wood species name alone

The oak version costs 245,330 ₽.

Difference relative to beech:

245 330 − 215 460 = 29 870 ₽.

But this difference should not be turned into a general argument that "oak is better than beech."

For the article, something else is more important: the final finish of the oak STL-027 must be agreed upon in advance with the project and the finisher.

If the designer wants to preserve the visible wood texture, the actual finishing technology must be confirmed. If a solid color is needed, this is also recorded in the request.

The "Under enamel" card field does not replace a separate technical specification for the actual final coating.

"Prestige" does not mean "ready for installation without finishing"

The "Prestige" sanding characterizes the surface preparation.

But the article should not create an expectation that STL-027 arrives already painted in the project's final color.

If enamel, tinting, varnish, patina, or another system is required, its composition and contractor are recorded separately.

Workflow:

STL-027 delivery → acceptance → agreed preparation → finishing → coating curing → countertop installation.

Not:

opened the crate → immediately placed into the interior, if additional finishing is provided for by the project.

Acceptance of assembled STL-027 before painting works

Before applying the coating, the frame itself needs to be accepted.

Check:

• article number;
• size 690×720×620 mm;
• the material;
• sanding;
• condition of the four legs;
• carved aprons;
• decorative ties;
• glue and tenon joints;
• absence of transport damage.

After that, it is useful to place the frame on a flat, protected surface and inspect it from all sides.

If there is a question about geometry or damage, it must be recorded before finishing. After primer and enamel, it is significantly more difficult to separate a transport defect from subsequent work.

The countertop will be made of stone: the two tasks must not be mixed.

Card STL-027 allows the use of heavy stone countertops and describes the frame as designed for high loads.

But this does not mean:

any stone slab of any size and mass can be placed on STL-027.

The specific top is checked separately by:

• shape;
• size;
• thickness;
• mass;
• center of gravity;
• support zone;
• to the fastening.

Therefore, choosing the finish for the underframe and checking the stone countertop are two different design tasks.

You can't say:

"the card mentions stone — so my marble fits automatically."

"Designed for high loads" — this is not a number in kilograms

The open description of STL-027 does not contain a universal load capacity figure.

Therefore, the article cannot state:

• "supports 150 kg";
• "holds 200 kg";
• "suitable for any marble slab."

If the weight of the countertop is critical for a specific project, provide the manufacturer with:

material / size / thickness / weight / intended installation method.

And you will receive confirmation specifically for this structure.

It is better to honestly close the absence of a published number through technical approval than to replace it with a random figure.

The base and tabletop need to be coordinated before the final color.

Suppose a stone tabletop has already been chosen.

It has:

• own tone;
• veins;
• gloss;
• thickness;
• visual mass.

Finish STL-027 should be viewed next to the actual top material or its sample.

A complex white, gray-beige, or wood-colored underframe can be perceived completely differently under cold marble and under warm stone.

Therefore, the logic:

first, we paint the under-table separately → then we choose the stone

is not always optimal.

It is better to coordinate both materials within a single palette before starting the finish.

Tabletop ST-027 660×660×30 mm: the same number does not mean 'automatically included'

In the STAVROS catalog, there is a separate countertop ST-027 with dimensions of 660 × 660 × 30 mm.

As of September 9, 2026, it is presented as an independent product item in MDF and combined veneered finishes.

The matching of the numeric index is useful for system navigation, but it does not give the right to write:

ST-027 is included in STL-027

Or:

ST-027 is automatically compatible without node verification.

The underframe and tabletop are separate items.

Before assembly, the drawing, support area, fastening, finish, and the specific order are still checked.

Why the tabletop size cannot be derived from the 690×720×620 mm underframe

The size of STL-027 is a characteristic of the frame itself.

It is not a formula:

the tabletop should be 690×720 mm.

The separate ST-027 is 660×660×30 mm, but even this does not make it a universal answer for any third-party tabletop.

If the top is made by another workshop, first you need to obtain the design drawing of the base, and only then confirm:

• shape;
• overhang;
• the support contour;
• mounting points;
• thickness;
• the weight.

The article deliberately does not invent a "correct" size for the non-standard top.

STL-027 should not be confused with STL-027-1

STAVROS has a separate product STL-027-1.

Its size:

1175 × 875 × 420 mm.

This is an underframe for a coffee table with its own product card and its own price.

STL-027:

690 × 720 × 620 mm.

STL-027-1:

1175 × 875 × 420 mm.

This is not "one model in long and short versions" by default. These are two different SKUs.

In production documentation, the article number is recorded in full.

Assembled STL-027 and rigid box: logistics changes even before finishing

Since the frame is already assembled, it cannot be calculated as a set of compact parts for carrying in.

The card indicates a rigid box.

At the same time, 690×720×620 mm is the product size, not the confirmed external packaging size.

If an elevator, staircase, or door is critical, request from the seller:

• Length×Width×Height of the shipping unit;
• packaging weight;
• permissible carrying orientation;
• number of shipping units.

But logistics in this article remains secondary. The main mistake is not that the frame "won't fit," but that the production chain may be designed for a non-existent disassembled delivery.

What the manager should receive before processing STL-027

Before ordering, it is useful to compile a single passport.

Field	What to specify
Article number	STL-027
Size	690×720×620 mm
Material	Beech / Oak
Sanding	Prestige
Regluing quality	For enamel
Supply	assembled
Finish	___
Who finishes	___
The finisher confirmed work with the assembled frame	Yes / no
Tabletop	Material ___
Tabletop size	___
Thickness	___
Mass	___
Mounting diagram	confirmed / not
Packaging and delivery	checked / no
Quantity	1 / ___

So Buy wooden base not as a pretty picture, but as an already agreed-upon element of the project.

What to send to the finisher along with this table

Minimum set:

• a link to the STL-027 card;
• screenshot or statement of the collected delivery;
• photo;
• drawing;
• selected material;
• target color;
• gloss level;
• countertop sample;
• planned deadline.

A particularly useful phrase:

"Disassembly of the frame is not provided for in the project. Please confirm the finishing technology for the assembled product."

It removes the main risk even before work begins.

If the painter still insists on painting parts separately

This is not the moment for the compromise "well, then we'll carefully take it apart."

We need to stop the order and agree on one of the options:

1. can the painter change the technology;
2. can STAVROS perform the required finish;
3. is there an acceptable special delivery option for the project;
4. whether a different underframe needs to be chosen.

By default, the item is based only on the confirmed fact:

STL-027 is delivered assembled, with tongue-and-groove joints additionally glued.

No special disassembled delivery can be promised without separate confirmation from the manufacturer.

Assembled delivery changes the project schedule, not just the painter's work.

If the original plan had separate parts, the schedule is often built in parallel:

legs are painted → side rails are painted → tabletop is manufactured → then everything is assembled.

With STL-027, the logic is different.

The frame arrives as one ready-made structure, so the stages become more sequential:

receiving STL-027 → acceptance of the assembled frame → finishing of the entire base → coating curing → checking geometry and surface → tabletop installation.

This is important for a project with multiple contractors.

The painter cannot start with two legs while the other parts are still in transit.

The furniture maker should not schedule a final base assembly that will not actually happen.

The stone workshop should not come to install the tabletop before the frame finish is fully accepted.

Therefore, it is better to replace the "STL-027 assembly" line in the calendar with more precise operations:

• acceptance;
• finish;
• preparation for top installation;
• Countertop installation.

Thus, the project eliminates the fictitious stage and gets a more realistic timeline.

Who is responsible for each operation: a short matrix for the project

For an expensive custom table, it is useful to divide responsibility in advance.

Operation	Who confirms
SKU STL-027	Customer / supplier
Material: beech or oak	Designer / customer
Assembled delivery	STAVROS / assembler
Frame finish	Painter / designer
Working with assembled threads	Painter
Countertop parameters	Countertop manufacturer
Weight of heavy top	Countertop manufacturer
Compatibility of top with STL-027	Coordinate before installation
Mounting diagram	Furniture maker / top manufacturer
Frame acceptance before finishing	Person responsible on site
Final table acceptance	Customer / contractor

Such a table is especially useful if one contractor says:

"I thought the base would arrive disassembled."

After role assignment, this assumption disappears even before ordering.

Test coating on assembled STL-027: where it is safer to do it

If the color is complex and a control coating is required, do not start with the most visible carved part.

First, the finisher should choose an inconspicuous test area or use a separate prepared sample of the same wood and primer system.

Purpose of the test:

• check the color;
• check the gloss;
• evaluate coverage;
• see how the coating applies to the relief;
• to understand whether fine carving is not lost under a too heavy layer.

If the test is performed directly on STL-027, the place and method of its subsequent integration into the overall finish must be agreed upon in advance.

The article does not prescribe a specific system of primers and enamels, because it depends on the chosen coating. But the principle of control is especially important precisely on the assembled carved structure: correcting an unsuccessful finish between the legs and decorative ties is more difficult than on a separate workpiece.

What to check after painting before installing the tabletop

Before the tabletop specialist arrives, it is useful to perform a separate acceptance of the finished finish.

Check:

• uniformity of color on external and internal areas;
• absence of unpainted spots in the depth of the relief;
• absence of runs;
• integrity of edges;
• absence of damage on the supporting upper zone;
• preservation of geometry;
• cleanliness of those areas that are involved in the installation of the countertop.

It is especially important not to cover the mounting zones with a thick decorative coating if this affects the fit or fastening of the top.

Only after this acceptance is it logical to invite the countertop contractor.

If the countertop is already ready before the underframe

In custom manufacturing, timelines sometimes do not follow the ideal order.

The stone workshop has already made the top, and STL-027 is only being ordered.

In this case, you cannot force the frame to "adapt" to the finished slab without verification.

Before paying for STL-027, you need to transfer to STAVROS and the furniture maker:

• exact dimensions of the finished countertop;
• thickness;
• weight;
• the material;
• position of the center of gravity, if the shape is complex;
• already made holes or embedded elements;
• the intended mounting scheme.

If the parameters are not confirmed for STL-027, the problem already exists now — and it needs to be solved before the frame is delivered.

Matching the ST-027 countertop by number does not help here at all, because the third-party top is an independent project.

Why the cost of an error here is higher than a regular repaint

The beech STL-027 costs 215,460 ₽, the oak one — 245,330 ₽.

The error "the painter expected parts, but a fully assembled frame arrived" may entail not only a change in his estimate.

It can shift:

• the finishing timeline;
• countertop delivery;
• installers' visit;
• room readiness;
• final furniture handover.

Therefore, the main economic point of the article is not about saving a few percent on material.

It is about not paying for a chain of work built on a wrong understanding of the product configuration.

One question to the finisher before ordering can completely eliminate this risk.

When STL-027 can already be ordered

The project is ready if:

• the model is chosen precisely;
• STL-027 is not confused with STL-027-1;
• material approved;
• the finisher knows about the assembled delivery;
• the selected finish technology suits the assembled relief frame;
• the tabletop has confirmed parameters;
• the mounting is agreed upon;
• for a heavy top, specific compatibility is confirmed;
• logistics is resolved.

Then you can buy STL-027 as a specific production component, not as "carved parts for future assembly."

When the wooden base STL-027 is not yet needed to be purchased

It is better to postpone the purchase if:

• the painter is sure that he will get separate legs;
• the estimate includes a mandatory disassembly operation;
• the final color is not approved;
• the countertop sample is still changing;
• a heavy slab has been selected, but its weight is unknown;
• the mounting has not been checked;
• the article number is confused with STL-027-1;
• ST-027 is considered to include the countertop automatically;
• the transport box is critical, but has not been measured.

For a product costing over 200 thousand rubles, such a pause is cheaper than reworking the technological chain after delivery.

Where to buy a wooden underframe and STL-027 separately

If the model is still being chosen, Buy wooden base You can find it in the general catalog of STAVROS underframes.

If your project specifically requires STL-027, go to the product page for that item.

Main conclusion:

STL-027 should be designed as an already assembled and glued carved underframe.

First, the finisher confirms the technology for working with the finished frame. Then the finish, tabletop, mounting, and logistics are agreed upon. Only after that is the order placed.

This exact sequence prevents a situation where an expensive base arrives in a rigid box, and the workshop learns for the first time that there are no separate legs for painting inside.
