Modular building blocks may be used to provide furniture or other items. Each modular building block has a number of interleaved layers that provide first and second arms of the building block. Each modular building block comprises a first engageable finger section formed from one or more of the interleaved layers and a second engageable finger section formed from two or more interleaved layers. The second engageable finger section of one modular building block receives the first engageable finger section of another modular building block allowing various arrangements to be assembled.

A table or shelf apparatus comprises a stationary section defining a support surface in a surface plane and a roll-top section coupled to the stationary section and configured to extend the support surface within the surface plane in an extension direction. The roll-top section includes a sliding mechanism configured to linearly travel with respect to the stationary section in the extension direction and a top section supported above the sliding mechanism, the top section defining an extendable top surface of the roll top section. The apparatus can include one or more biasing element coupled between the stationary section and the roll-top section and a locking mechanism configured to secure the roll-top section in position relative to the stationary section.

The convertible furniture unit comprises a hinge member pivotally linking first and second furniture portions to allow the first and second furniture portions to relatively pivot relative to each other to adopt a number of different angular relative positions, and a locking mechanism to releasably lock the first and second furniture portion in a given angular relative position. The first and second furniture portions each comprise a number of slats that are intermeshed with and are slidable between the slats of the other one of the first and second furniture portions. Each slat comprises a hinge portion pivotally attached to the hinge member, an arm extending away from the hinge portion and a free extremity opposite the hinge portion. The first and second furniture portions are capable of adopting at least: a first position wherein the arms of the slats of the first furniture portion extend away from the hinge member and through the arms of the slats of the second furniture portion; and a second position in which the arms of the slats of the first furniture portion extend away from hinge and away from the arms of the slats of the second furniture portion without crossing or extending through the arms of the slats of the second furniture portion. The first and second positions of the first and second furniture portions are both operable for use of the furniture unit by a user.

The present disclosure provides a storage cabinet of which a cabinet body is enclosed by a rear back plate, a left plate, a right plate, a cabinet door and a door frame; and a top plate is located in a top opening of the cabinet body and closes the top opening, and a bottom plate is located in a bottom opening of the cabinet body and closes the bottom opening. The present disclosure can improve the mounting efficiency.

A fastener system for quick and easy assembly of an article of slatted furniture is used to join multiple slats and connects a support thereto. A flange inserted into one of the slats receives a stud connected to the support. A rod connects a plurality the slats, and mates with the flange. The flange and rod are rotatable within the slats to properly position and tighten the fastener system.
