This invention relates generally to a modular countertop system. In one embodiment, a countertop system includes, but is not limited to, a first countertop section composed of a foam core at least partly covered by a laminate layer; a plurality of interconnection receptacles embedded within the foam core; and a plurality of cut-line indications on a bottom surface of the first countertop section at positions that correspond to the plurality of interconnection receptacles embedded within the foam core, wherein cutting of the first countertop section along any of the plurality of cut-line indications exposes at least one of the plurality of interconnection receptacles.

Calibrated layout tools with calibrated offset surfaces to provide for the collinear marking of a workpiece or multiple workpieces are disclosed. The calibrated layout tools allow for accurate marking of work pieces such as the precise layout and marking of dovetail joints for example. The calibrated layout tools provide a new and efficient approach to laying out and marking joinery without common and frequently occurring measurement errors. The calibrated layout tools accommodate various joint geometries, including size, spacing and angle for use in a variety of applications ranging from small decorative objects like jewel boxes to large-scale traditional construction methods like timber framing.

A cabinet assembly and cabinet assembly kit include two side panels and a rear panel coupled by hinge assemblies. Each hinge assembly includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and a linkage. The first and second brackets each include a key that alternate to create a key channel when the one of the side panels is positioned at a generally right angle relative to the rear panel. Each hinge assembly permits the cabinet assembly to be configured in a folded configuration in which the side panels are parallel with the rear panel. A locking bracket includes a locking member sized and shaped to be inserted into the key channel. The locking bracket locks the side panel into a substantially right angle relative to the rear panel when the locking member is inserted into the key channel.

A modular furniture assembly includes: a base member having a frame assembly, a transverse member having a frame assembly, a foot configured to contact a support surface, and a mounting platform having a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mounting platform is configured to be mounted on the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, thereby connecting the frame assemblies. The foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration. The mounting platform connects the base and transverse member frame assemblies together and also acts as a platform for receiving a variety of different types of feet.

A device for connecting two furniture parts, wherein the device comprises a housing arrangeable on a first furniture part and an eccentric element rotatably mounted in the housing. The housing is on one wall side flattened, and the flattened wall side of the housing has a continuous opening. The eccentric element is configured to cooperate with a connecting element, wherein the connecting element is arrangeable on a second furniture part, and wherein the connecting element can be coupled with the housing and the eccentric element such that the first and the second furniture part are fixedly connected to each other. The device is characterized in that the continuous opening in the housing on the flattened wall side is fully enclosed at the margin by wall portions.

A set of panels including a first panel with a first main plane and a second panel with a second main plane. The first and the second panel include a mechanical locking device which is configured for locking a first edge of the first panel to a second edge of the second panel at a junction plane. The first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane and the junction plane is extending between the first main plane and the second main plane. The mechanical locking device includes at the first edge an edge tongue which extends from the junction plane and at the second edge includes an edge groove at the junction plane. The mechanical locking device includes a dowel at the first edge and a dowel groove at the second edge. The dowel is configured to cooperate with the dowel groove.
