A couch comes unassembled. The couch's base has a cavity that holds the couch's cushions. A cover over the cavity is opened to allow access to the cavity. The couch's cushions are removed from the cavity, and a brace with a hump, which had been positioned to allow the cushions to fit in the cavity, is rotated to position the hump to reinforce the cavity walls. The base is turned over and a seatback is attached to the base. The couch's arms have fittings that mate with fittings on the seatback, and a flexible covering attached to the base and seatback urges the seatback against the base.

A shipping tray for a bench system and method of use are provided. The shipping tray may include a front support, rear support, first side support, and second side support. The shipping tray may further include a first front holder, a second front holder, a third front holder, a first rear holder, a second rear holder, and a third rear holder, all configured to receive one of a plurality of legs of a bench. The shipping tray may further include a central brace, a first X-brace, and a second X-brace. There may be a network of ribbing on the underside of the shipping tray. The shipping tray may be used for stacking a bench, or multiple benches, onto the shipping tray. The shipping tray may also be stacked on top of another shipping tray.

The present invention generally relates to a convertible, collapsible and reusable shipping crate. The crate is convertible in that the same base can used with extendable gates or fixed gates to ship equipment of differing heights, lengths, and wheel bases. At least one end of the crate may operate as a gate on a hinge for the loading and unloading of motorized vehicles. The hinge is comprised of a slotted plate on each side to lock the gates into place for loading and to raise the gates upright once loading is completed. The slotted plate positions the gates in an upright, locked position to carry all the weight on the upright beams of the gate, rather than the hinges, thereby allowing multiple crates to be stacked. The slotted plates also allow each of the two gates to collapse inward and flat on the base for stacking during return. The gates, optional cross braces, and slotted plates all contain removable pins as connectors so that no hand tools are required for setup, operation, and breakdown of the crate. The crate is reusable many times.
