The first and most important point about a quality inlaid product is to pay attention to the shapes drawn on the inlay. The next important point that we must pay attention to when examining an inlaid product is the symmetry of the flowers drawn on the substructure, from the point of view of engineering and carpentry, because if the designs on the product are not of the same shape and similarity, in addition to Decreasing the beauty of the inlay product also reduces the quality of the product.
