The convertible hand truck and chair device may combine the advantages of a wheeled hand truck with the advantages of a folding chair. Such a design may allow a user to transport large or heavy items from one location to another using the hand truck, and to then utilize the hand truck as a chair device for sitting. By way of example, a user going to the beach or a camp site may carry most or all of their needed items, such as coolers, foodstuffs, and other goods, to the beach or camp site location, and then convert the hand truck to a seat where they may sit or rest without the need to bring an additional chair. The device may further collapse down into a compact form factor for ease of transportation.

A system, such as a camping or lounging system, includes a first spreader bar and a second spreader bar. The system also includes a hammock-tent defining a first end sleeve and a second end sleeve, wherein the first spreader bar is configured to be removably inserted into the first end sleeve and the second spreader bar is configured to be removably inserted into the second end sleeve. The system also includes at least one bracket, wherein at least one of the first spreader bar and the second spreader bar is configured to be detachably coupled with the at least one bracket to form a chair framework. The system may be deployable in a hammock-tent mode or a chair mode.

Here is described a piece of furniture, and particularly a sofa, that comprises a base and a seat cushion. The base comprises longitudinal structures; a pair of transversal structures mounted to the longitudinal structures; arms rotatively mounted to the transversal structures; and poles mounted to the arms. The seat cushion is adapted to be laid over the base. The poles are movable between positions providing therethrough one of: an adjustable support for the seat cushion; and an adjustable slope for the seat cushion. The sofa may further comprise mounting brackets mounted inwardly to the frame, each one comprising a mounting rod. Cushions of the sofa comprise a cushion body; and a pair of mounting braces extending from the cushion body and comprising a slit in which the rod is positioned as the cushion is rotated around the rod until the cushion stands in place.

An upholstered piece of furniture with a frame including a pair blow molded hollow arm rest forms, wherein spanning wood frame members extend between the forms. The wood frame members secured to the forms with interference fits, and minimal threaded fasteners. The arm rest forms have through slots which allow the seat deck and arm upholstery to be pulled through and anchored with staples providing a secure attachment. Threaded fasteners clamp onto the polymer wall of the forms for attachment of frame members. A blowmolded backrest has a metal reinforcing arms connecting to a seat platform. Holes in arm rest allow upholstery panel connections with Christmas tree connectors. The connections to the arm rest forms and providing a geometrically rigid and robust sofa frame that is weighs less, is quicker to assemble, and is more robust. The finishing of the sofa is also quicker and easier than conventional sofas.
