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.

A seating apparatus assembled from Furniture components readily shippable by common carrier comprising a base frame, a pair of side arm assemblies that align with opposing distal ends of the base frame, and a back assembly to assemble as a seating apparatus, with legs having threaded fasteners that extend through the base frame for engaging the side arm assemblies and supporting the seating apparatus on a floor. Connector members on the back assembly engage respective connector brackets on the side arm assemblies to secure the back to the seating apparatus. The base frame includes a stretcher with a support leg, which stretcher rotates to move the support leg from a shipping position to a supporting position in contact with the floor for use of the seating apparatus.

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.

An electronic furniture assembly of the present invention comprises: (i) a furniture assembly comprising: (A) a base (e.g., a seat portion), (B) at least one transverse member (e.g., a side, armrest or backrest), and (C) a coupler for selectively coupling the base to the transverse member; (ii) an electrical hub for providing electrical power to the speakers, the hub configured to selectively reside within the furniture assembly; and (iii) a speaker system mounted within one or more portions of the furniture assembly. The speaker system comprises one or more speakers mounted within the base and transverse member, hiding the speakers therein, and saving space within a home or office, using the same footprint for both furniture and speakers, providing a high fidelity surround sound system.

A seat includes a seat surface and a central leg with feet close to an end remote from the seat surface. The feet are movable between a transport position substantially parallel to the leg and an operative position extending substantially radially from the leg. Several feet are connected to each other by at least one connecting element extending from the leg. A method includes supplying a central leg with feet in a transport position directed substantially parallel to the leg, supplying at least one connecting element, moving the feet from the transport position to an operative position extending substantially in radial direction from the leg, and connecting at least several feet to each other using the connecting element, wherein the connecting element extends at a distance from the central leg.

A chair suitable for disassembly and a shipping method for the disassembled chair, which arranges chair parts of multiple chairs in one container and saves shipping cost. The disassembled chair has at least a backrest porting and a seat portion with extending legs, each of which has multiple connecting holes allowing them to be connected by mechanical fastener, such as rivets or screws. The seat portions of multiple chairs can be inverted and stacked within each other and multiple backrests can be located above the stacked seats between their legs, all within a single container so that the shipping and storing costs are lower.

A metal seat stretcher that is configured for easy mounting to the seat box, and furniture items including the same. The disclosed stretcher may be mounted in such a way so as not be directly mounted to the forward or rearward rails, thus preserving the strength and integrity of the rails by not subjecting them to perforation from a multitude of staples. Instead, the front end of the metal seat stretcher mounts to a clip rail that is secured to the inside of the front rail, and back end of the stretcher is secured to a seat back upright. In some embodiments, securing of the disclosed seat stretcher is done with a single screw at the front end and a single self-tapping bolt at the back end (though more fasteners may also be utilized). This provides for rapid and easy assembly of the furniture item.

An article of furniture including a base, a plurality of panels forming an outer surface of the article of furniture, and a plurality of struts for securing the panels in place. The base has an outer periphery which is securable to at least some of the panels. The base is configured for placement on a floor surface. Further, each strut has an elongated member configured for securement to at least two adjacent panels which are oriented in different planes from one another. The adjacent panels are secured to the respective struts with removable fasteners.

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.
