Rigorous QC Inspection

A dedicated 15-person QC team inspects every pair before shipment. This meticulous process ensures consistent quality across every order, whether you're ordering 50 pieces or 50,000 units. Each frame undergoes stress testing, hinge durability checks, and cosmetic inspection.
