A kit is provided that, when assembled, forms a unit of furniture. The kit includes side panels that can rotate about the z axis along the hinge and which have one or more support surfaces to support a base panel. A top panel is connected to the side panels and back panel by a plurality of position members. The kit comprises a plurality of flexible fasteners to reverse-ably lock the side panels to the base panel and to lock the side panels to the top panel and restrict the side panels from z-axis rotation and restrict the base panel and top panel from y-axis rotation. Also provided are methods of assembling and manufacturing the unit of furniture.

A rotatable galley includes a frame laterally rotatable between a first position and a second position, a pivot coupled to the frame such that the frame is rotatable with respect to the pivot, and a first linear actuator coupled between the frame and the pivot. The first linear actuator can be configured to extend to rotate the frame to the first position and retract to rotate the frame to the second position.

The invention relates to a knock down table suitable for food preparation that includes extension legs and terminal legs that are interconnected with a threaded connector and threaded receiving plugs in the connecting ends of the extension and terminal legs. One of the receiving plugs in each connection protrudes from the end of its legs and is configured to extend into the connecting leg and abut with the receiving plug in the other leg.

A refrigerated food preparation table that includes a food item storage pan with a lid that is allowed to fully close and is held in a partially open position and in a fully open position and hinge brackets or apparatuses for holding a lid in a partially opened position and a fully opened position that include a slot, a surface, and an indentation that each engage pins on the lid. In various embodiments, the slot receives one such pin, the surface guides another pin on the lid as the lid is opened from a fully closed position to the partially opened position, the indentation receives the second pin when the lid is in the partially opened position, and the slot contains the first pin and the second pin when the lid is fully open. The food preparation table can be used to prepare pizza, for example.

Furniture with an extensible counter-top is described. The extensible counter-top has a primary surface and a pair of leaves hingeably attached to the cabinet housing for pivoting relative to the primary surface. In a folded position, the pair of leaves rest upon the primary surface. In an unfolded position, the pair of leaves pivot in opposite directions to expand a width of the counter-top. When in the unfolded position, a first leaf of the pair of leaves forms a first support surface substantially coplanar with the primary surface, and a second leaf of the pair of leaves forms a second support surface offset below the primary surface.

A multi-user station (1) is described for the preparation of foods adapted and configured to be used simultaneously by two users (U1,U2), comprising an island counter having a work surface (2) and a support structure (3) of the work surface (2), wherein the work surface, in plan view, has a first side (LI) that is convex and intended in use to be facing the two users (U1,U2), wherein the multi-user station (1) includes two taps (6), two sinks (7) built-in to the work surface (2) and at least two heating units (8).

An expandable kitchen includes an expandable kitchen cabinet and a movable kitchen table. In the compacted state, an outer kitchen cabinet may be disposed adjacent other cabinets, while the kitchen table may be disposed over other cabinets and/or the kitchen sink. In the expanded state, the outer kitchen cabinet may be moved away from the other kitchen cabinets and the table may be expanded both radially and longitudinally to provide a table surface. A shelving unit may be movable to provide an extension to the table top. During movement of the shelving unit, the shelves May remain horizontal so that the shelf can be easily converted into a table top without the need for moving items on the shelves.
