French term or phrase: Les détails d'arrêtes sont émoussés ou pour le moins non agressifs.
It's about tables again. I need help with the whole sentence.
I am trying to choose from these possibilities, among others:
"The fixing details/ridges are blunted, or, at the least, not sharp/non-corrosive."
Do you have any suggestions?

The edges are rounded or flattened to some degree.


Explanation:
I think they're trying to say that the edges are rounded or flattened in some way to prevent injury.
