The work focuses on the methods of testing the adhesive bonded joint, where the furniture in logistics operations stressed by the extreme temperatures in both the positive and negative direction. This factor has a major influence on the choice of appropriate adhesives that their resistance will correspond to the required properties. Research is extended to new methods of stress glued joints in conditions simulating stress in everyday practice transport logistics. Research is the starting point of the test materials, adhesives and furniture coverings which current manufacturing processes used. The methods are evaluated and designed mainly of mechanical properties and practical utility in the manufacture of furniture. At the same verification testing methodology is the basis for the implementation of these methods in the field of material testing in sections furniture testing and testing of adhesives and plastics. Their initial and explanatory description of the experimental part of the work.
