Depends on the style of furniture. Campaign furniture [0] has all sorts of brass handles, hinges, and corner brackets with exposed screw heads (or nail heads, brads, etc.) Little details on other furniture types still expose a screw head. Like the strike plate on the locking mechanism of a desk drawer. Or the brackets on a secretary desk. A piano hinge on a piano. Even high-quality pieces of other styles will still use screws. They're not visible from a normal perspective, but can be seen from under a table for example. (Attaching a solid wood tabletop to the frame is often done with screws and figure eights to allow wood movement.) To someone who's really fussy, seeing those screws clocked the same way might spark joy or something. I don't know, seems a bit much to me. Now, exposed cam locks? Yeah, always an indicator of low quality :) [0] https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c4/1a/d5/c41ad527ebf77a580e76e1e3aa209e6f.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c4/1a/d5/c41ad527ebf77a580e76...
