Metal furniture is used at various places such as homes, café, restraints, and offices, and all these were completely shut due to the lockdown across the globe. Eventually, it resulted in restraining the demand for metal furniture as it is a luxury product and people were more focused on their health and completely ignored these luxuries during the pandemic.
