The present disclosure relates to modular furniture made from a number of substantially flat panels. The panels have bevelled edges and magnets are disposed in or on the bevelled edges. Multiple panels thus may be joined together magnetically to construct a piece of furniture. In some examples, the outward pointing poles of adjacent magnets alternate (North, South, North South, etc.) around the panel. In some examples, there are protrusions and depressions on some or all bevelled edges, such that a protrusion of one panel can mate with the depression of another panel so as to resist the bevelled edges sliding past each other.

A connector system for connecting components to a base member is disclosed. In some embodiments, the connector system is used for the installation of furniture components in an in-line arrangement. The connector system includes a base member and a component connector for mounting a component relative to the base member. The component connector is configured for engaging the base member in a connectable state and a connected state. While the component connector is disposed in the connectable state, the component connector is supported by the base member and displaceable relative to the base member. Once the component connector is positioned relative to the base member, the component connector is upwardly displaced relative to the base member, via a lifting mechanism, such that the component connector transitions to the connected state where it is disposed for coupling with the component such that the component is secured to the base member.

A multi-directionally engageable column combination structure comprising a column, a first hook body, and a second hook body. The column is in a straight cylindrical shape and has an outer circular surface and two end faces. A plurality of axial combination grooves are disposed at the outer circular surface, and the combination groove has an opening, a first catching groove and a second catching groove; a front end of the first hook body has a first hook portion, a rear end of the first hook portion has a first engaging portion, a front end of the first hook portion has a first hook pillar, a first hook edge is disposed at a front end of the first hook pillar, an abutting edge is disposed at a position that is on the first hook portion and corresponds to the outer circular surface of the column; a side of the first engaging portion has a first engaging surface, and a first combination hole is disposed on the first engaging surface; a front end of the second hook body has a second hook portion, a rear end of the second hook portion has a second engaging portion, a front end of the second hook portion has a second hook pillar, a second hook edge is disposed at a front end of the second hook pillar, a side of the second engaging portion has a second engaging surface attached against the first engaging surface, and a second combination hole is disposed, the first and second hook edges of the first and second hook bodies hook the first and second catching grooves respectively, and then engaging elements are inserted into the first and second combination holes for combination. Thus, better assembly convenience and stability are achieved in the present application.

A mounting device is configured to mount a panel to a wall of an object. The mounting device includes a mounting member and an auxiliary member. The mounting member is configured to be mounted to the panel, and the mounting member is arranged with at least one coupling device. The at least one coupling device is configured to connect the panel to the wall. The auxiliary member is configured to cover at least one predetermined portion of the mounting member.

A mounting tool includes a female member and a male member. The female member has first and second engagement grooves that arc inclined such that a distance therebetween increases toward one side, and a female-side locking projection disposed adjacent to the first engagement groove and protruding to a side of the second engagement groove. The male member has first and second rail portions that are simultaneously fittable into the first and second engagement grooves, and a male-side locking projection disposed adjacent to the first rail portion. The male-side locking projection is disposed so as to interfere with the female-side engagement protrusion while the first and second rail portions that are being fitted into the first and second engagement grooves move in an intermediate axis direction, and so as not to interfere with the female-side locking projection while the second rail portion is being slid along the second engagement groove.

A mattress foundation includes: a head end panel assembly; a foot end panel assembly; a left side panel assembly; and a right side panel assembly, all slidably attaching to each other using sliding mechanisms. At least one of the sliding mechanisms includes an elongated slot and an elongated protruding element that fits within the elongated slot. A horizontal cross-section of the elongated slot and/or the elongated protruding element includes thin elongated flexible arms, attached at their proximal ends to a common surface, but otherwise extending away from such common surface and separated from each other. When viewed from the horizontal cross-section, the average thickness of the thin elongated flexible arms is substantially less than the length of the thin elongated flexible arms.
