A molded part includes a plurality of surfaces and an embossment extending from one of the plurality of surfaces. The embossment includes a body and a bore extending through a central portion of the body. The embossment further includes a first pocket extending through a sidewall of the body and into the bore and a second pocket extending through an opposite sidewall of the body and into the bore. The first pocket and the second pocket each define inwardly tapered walls. The first pocket and the second pocket are spaced axially along the body and are diametrically opposed.

A furniture frame structural system with interlocking members includes a first face frame, a second face frame, and a plurality of frame members. At least one joining feature for each frame member allows the frame members to arrange into a skeletal configuration as the joining feature includes a male interlocking portion and a female interlocking portion. More specifically, the male interlocking portion for each frame member is engaged with the female interlocking portion of an adjacent member from the frame members. Resultantly, the frame members complete the skeletal configuration. The first face frame and the second face frame are then oppositely mounted to the skeletal configuration completing the basic frame structure. Additional components such as post-tensioned fasteners, inner liners, outer panels held in side rails, a top, legs, and baseboard can be optionally integrated with the basic frame structure to improve the functionality and appearance of the resulting furniture.

A two-way fastener includes a first member threaded for being screwed into a first workpiece; a polygonal wall for receiving a tool to screw the first member into the first workpiece, the polygonal wall located at a base end of the first member; and a second member extending in an opposite fastening direction from the first member, the second member configured to be fastened to a second workpiece. A fastening method includes enabling the threading of a first member of a fastener into a first workpiece; and enabling the threading of a second workpiece to a second member extending outwardly from the first member and the first workpiece.

Panels are shown which are provided with a mechanical locking system allowing perpendicular connection with a snap action. A set of panels including a first and a second panel, an edge of the second panel is insertable into a groove of the first panel, when the panels are arranged essential perpendicular to each other, to obtain a mechanical connection between the first and the second panel, when the second panel is displaced essentially perpendicularly to the first panel.

A composed element, such as a piece of furniture, wherein the composed element comprises at least a rear wall, as well as a number of constructional parts forming a whole in which the rear wall has to be provided. The rear wall forms the rear side of the composed element and includes one or more rear wall parts. The composed element comprises seats for installing at least one of the rear wall parts, which are configured such that the rear wall part can be slid into the seats starting from the rear side of the composed element from a position differing from the final plane in which the rear wall part will be situated in the final condition.
