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 self-locking parcel delivery apparatus and method includes a tamper-resistant compartment beneath a lid of a porch bench seat and insulated for protecting delivered parcels. The apparatus includes a lid that is held open magnetically until proactively released to close and lock (such as by a delivery person) or by a remote user via a primary software application running on a mobile communications device. The apparatus may be operated in conjunction or cooperation with a supplemental software application associated with a video motion detection system so that a remote user can authenticate a supposed delivery person and then, using another software app, activate a remote delivery container to be made ready to receive a delivered parcel.

A quick-fitting stool includes a main plate, side plates, and corner protectors having same number as number of the side plates. Each of the side plates and the corner protectors are alternately arranged to form a circumferentially closed side wall. The corner protectors extend in a height direction, and the corner protectors includes first mounting surfaces and second mounting surfaces spliced to two adjacent side plates respectively. The first mounting surfaces and the second mounting surfaces are detachably connected to the two adjacent side plates. An outer side surface of the corner protectors is flush with an outer side surface of the side plates. The main plate is horizontally placed on upper side surfaces of the side plates. The side plates support the main plate, and is connected with an upper side edge of at least one of the side plates.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for furniture with integrated internal storage chambers that are sealable and operable to contain items.

A furniture spring system, configured to provide a seating surface. The furniture spring system comprising a lid comprising a frame. The frame comprising two opposing frame members and a retention member associated with at least one of the two opposing frame members, a slat extending between the two opposing frame members, the slat comprising an elongate body having a first end and a second end and a catch disposed at the first end or second end, wherein the catch engages the retention member to retain the slat to the frame and the catch is configured to slide back-and-forth relative to the retention member as a portion of the elongate body between the first end and the second end elastically flexes downward and upward in response to forces intermittently pushing downward on the slat during use.

A modular furniture assembly includes a transverse member and a base member. The base member includes a base frame having a bottom panel and side panels, each of the side panels having an upper chamfered edge. The base member also includes a storage cavity at least partially defined by the bottom panel and the side panels and a lid configured to be selectively mounted on the base frame such that the lid covers the storage cavity.

A method for manufacturing a furniture frame using molding techniques. A structural base is molded to create the base structure for modular furniture. Cushioning material is secured on the base structure of the modular furniture and layer(s) of upholstery material are applied over the cushioning material secured on the base structure.

A removable backrest is attached to a cooler in such a manner that does not interfere with the opening or closing of the lid nor does it interfere with the sealing mechanism of the cooler. The removable backrest inserts into existing slots positioned in the walls of certain commercially available coolers. The angle of the frame permits a user to sit on the complete lid of the cooler and lean against the backrest. While the backrest is in position, the lid may be opened or closed at the user's convenience.
