ABSTRACT:
A volume-adjustable unit including a first layer, a second layer, and multiple inner paper layers disposed between the first and second layers. Each inner paper layer has two opposing sides, and each of the two opposing sides is adhered to an adjacent layer of the each inner paper layer through an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer includes multiple adhesive strips which are substantially in parallel, are spaced apart from each other and are arranged in such a way that each section of the each inner paper layer adheres to at most one adjacent layer on one of the two opposing sides through an adhesive strip, whereby multiple hexagonal columns are formed by the inner paper layers as the unit is stretched-out. The unit can be used to prepare a volume-adjustable frame of a piece of light furniture and transported from one place to another in smaller volume.
