Abstract
A chipcore furniture panel with rounded and bevelled edges overlaid with a sheet of plastic material. The edges of the panel are bevelled along the whole thickness of the panel with even width and inclination of the bevels on all perimetrical sides; and the edges are connected to the sides along the longer outside perimeter with a curve of determined radius. In addition, one overlay sheet is so applied as to eliminate the seam along the curved intersection of the bevelled sides and corresponding panel face.
