An article of furniture includes a seat frame, first and second spaced apart seat connectors, a plurality of elongated seat panels, first and second spaced apart back post connectors, and a plurality of elongated back panels. The seat connectors and the back connectors include an upper bulbous member and a body. The panels include first and second spaced apart channels therein with cutouts extending from the channels and opening onto a surface of the seat panels. The channels of the seat panels are receivable on the upper bulbous members of the spaced apart seat connectors to form a seat, and the channels of the back panels are receivable on the front bulbous members of the spaced apart back connectors to form a back.

Seats and methods to assemble a seat are disclosed. A method to assemble a seat includes positioning a left arm and a right arm over a seat frame, each of the left and right arms having fabric that covers a left side and a right side of the respective arm. The method also includes wrapping the fabric of the left arm around a left side of the seat frame to cover the left side of the seat frame, and wrapping the fabric of the right arm around a right side of the seat frame to cover the right side of the seat frame. The method further includes positioning a back frame over the seat frame, wrapping fabric of the back frame around a back side of the seat frame to cover the back side of the seat frame, and securing the left and right arms to the seat frame.

An article of furniture includes a seat frame, first and second spaced apart seat connectors, a plurality of elongated seat panels, first and second spaced apart back post connectors, and a plurality of elongated back panels. The seat connectors and the back connectors include an upper bulbous member, a lower bulbous member, and a web disposed therebetween. The panels include first and second spaced apart channels therein with cutouts extending from the channels and opening onto a surface of the seat panels. The channels of the seat panels are receivable on the upper bulbous members of the spaced apart seat connectors to form a seat, and the channels of the back panels are receivable on the front bulbous members of the spaced apart back connectors to form a back.

A furniture item comprises a first modular component, a second modular component, and third modular component. A first connector assembly is provided for connecting the first modular component with the second modular component. A second connector assembly is provided for connecting the first modular component or the second modular component with the third modular component, the first and second connector assemblies being different.

Furniture systems, furniture system components, methods of assembling furniture systems, and methods of assembling furniture system components are described in the present disclosure. The furniture systems comprise a seat frame assembly connected to a first arm assembly and a second arm assembly and a back assembly, wherein the seat frame assembly is connected to the first and second arm assemblies by inserts and tabs formed thereon. Inner frame assemblies and deck sections for furniture pieces are also described and include deck webs that define deck gaps therein.

A toolless assembly method for assembling structures having multiple component pieces, including the step of providing a plurality of component pieces, the pieces having cooperating brackets and receivers for slidingly receiving the brackets and rotating latches. In another step, the component pieces are assembled by orienting the components into a desired configuration corresponding to the assembled structure, with adjacent brackets installed into adjacent receivers. In a further step, the component pieces are locked together by rotating the latches so that the latches bear against adjoining component pieces to lock the adjacent component pieces together.

The combination of: an electronic device having a monitor; and a support assembly made up of a collection of components. A first plurality of the components can be selectively changed between: a) a first state wherein at least two of the components in the first plurality of components are separated from each other and a third component; and b) a second state wherein the first plurality of components cooperatively define a first support assembly configuration with a device support surface to elevate the supported device. The first plurality of components is changeable between the first and second states without requiring use of any fasteners.

Fastenerless and adhesiveless furniture pieces, which in various embodiments may include chairs, steps, adirondack chairs, footrests, and other furniture pieces, may each include a first panel, a second panel, and a plurality of support panels. The first and second panels may each one or more outwardly extending engagement members. The engagement members may each include a tapered void that mates with one of the support panels. The first and second panels may include curved edges that complement one another. The first panel, the second panel, and the plurality of support panels may be securely coupled to form the furniture piece, without relying on any fasteners or adhesives, when the complementary curved edges of the first and second panels are forced into abutting engagement with one another.

Disclosed herein are assembled and unassembled items of furniture and methods of fabricating the components of items of furniture, methods of packaging the components of items of furniture, and methods of assembling items of furniture. The disclosed items of furniture have at least two legs and a working portion comprising two overhangs and a top with an upper surface and a lower surface. Some embodiments also include a back portion. Each leg has a lower portion and an upper portion that meet at an interface. The lower portion resides below the lower surface, and the upper portion resides above the lower surface. Each leg extends through the top through a hole that has a perimeter that is smaller than the perimeter of the lower portion at the interface and larger than the perimeter of the upper portion at the interface.

A support for a piece of modular furniture, and a piece of modular furniture which includes the support. The support includes first and second legs connected by a longitudinal member and a support member. The support member extends generally transversely to the longitudinal member in a direction allowing it to extend under a seat and support the seat. The piece of furniture preferably includes two or more such supports, each having a support member which extends towards the other support, so that they together may support the seat. The supports are generally universal in design, in that a single type of support may be used to make many different types of furniture, such as a chair, a sofa, an end table and a full table. Chairs and sofas may include backs, and therefore the supports used with such types of furniture include extensions which support the back.
