A shelving system formed by a plurality of vertical posts and horizontal traverses held together through frictional engagement. Disposed between each lateral pair of posts is at least one traverse which includes a male frictional engagement member configured to engage with a removable female frictional engagement member disposed on each post. The post and traverse engage with each other so as to create a proportional or supportive reaction force in response to any shear force applied to the shelving system. Each of the female frictional engagement members has a tapered edge which forms a closely fitted coupling between the post and each traverse. Each of the female frictional engagement members may be selectively disposed in one of a plurality of positions along the height of each vertical post. The shelving system further includes top and bottom connectors, both of which also frictionally engage with the vertical posts.

A portable outdoor classroom system for teachers and students is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of workstations adapted to accommodate the students and teacher in a seating or standing position each workstation including a seating portion and a work desk portion. A blackboard may be included along with one or more shade sail mounted on posts or logs to protect the outdoor classroom system against sun and inclement weather. Also disclose are pre-school early learning pods designed to support early learners with a wider range of developmental needs and abilities. The early learning pods include vertical cluster logs arranged in clusters and combined with whacky support logs, horizontal border logs and other items such as carved log tunnels and carve chair logs to form enclosed or open learning areas.

Furniture carcass formed from panels assembled edge to edge by means of a groove (21) and loose tongue (11) assembly, a first (10) and a second panel (20) being joined by the edge of the first panel (10) hearing against the inner side (20a) of the second panel (20). The first panel (10) comprises a loose tongue (11), and the second panel (20) comprises, along the edge of its inner side (20a), a recess (21), complementary in shape to that of the edge with the bearing surface (15), a longitudinal assembly groove (21), complementary in shape to that of the tongue (11), and, beyond the groove (21), a bearing surface (25), recessed relative to the plane of its inner side (20a), for receiving the edge tearing surface (15). The assembly groove (21) has a bottom surface (22) and a small bearing surface (24) joined by a truncated concave ridge (27) and the loose tongue (11) has a complementary truncated ridge (17).

In an aspect there is provided a joint assembly 16 for panel board materials, comprising: a first member 14 comprising a tongue 22 extending from a surface 26 of the first member 14, the tongue 22 comprising a first groove 24 in a side 28 of the tongue 22; wherein at least a portion of the side 28 of the tongue 22 including the first groove 24 extends generally perpendicular to the surface 26 of the first member 14; and a second member 12 comprising: a second groove 32 in a surface 36 of the second member 12, the second groove 32 being arranged to receive the tongue 22; and a lip 34 extending into the second groove 32; wherein, in an assembled position, the tongue 22 is arranged to slot into the second groove 32 and the lip 34 is arranged to slot into the first groove 24 thereby to join the first and second members 14, 12.

A bottle rack includes a panel that has a front surface and an opposing back surface, and support bars cantilevered from the panel and extending from the front surface. Each of the support bars has a linear bottle supporting portion that is positioned, and that is at an acute angle, relative to the front surface such that at least two of the support bars can support a bottle while forcing the bottle against the front surface. The rack may be a “label forward” rack. Additionally, the various joints, grooves, and slots used to join the support bars to the panel may also be used to join any the support bars and panels of any suitable bottle rack.

A cabinets is provided. The cabinet includes a main panel defining a longitudinal axis and having a top edge. The cabinet also includes a plurality of vertical panels positioned in a laterally spaced relationship along the longitudinal axis of the main panel and in parallel planes each of the vertical panels being orthogonal to the main panel. The main panel and the vertical panels are coupled by hangers. The hangers each include an elongated body and a first end bracket at a first end of the elongated body. The first end bracket has a first hook that receives the top edge of the main panel. The vertical panels are also secured to either one of a top panel or a bottom panel so that either the top panel or the bottom panel holds the vertical panels against lateral movement relative to the main panel.

A cabinet comprised of side panel members, a top panel member and a bottom panel member wherein the cabinet is configured to be releasably secured so as to be shipped in a disassembled state. The cabinet further includes a back panel member that will operably couple with all other panel members of the cabinet. The back panel member includes a dadoed rabbet edge along both of the lateral edges and both of the longitudinal edges. The formation of the edges of the back panel member facilitate a securing to the two side panel members, the tope panel member and the bottom panel member so as to provide greater structural integrity of the cabinet and improved load bearing. The panel members of the cabinet include grooves formed on inner surfaces thereof and further have locking mechanisms and locking receptacles that are configured to provide assembly of the cabinet.

The table assembly comprises a first side wall, a second side wall, a first table top and a first support. The first side wall comprises a plurality of first side wall mortises. The second side wall comprises a plurality of second side wall mortises. The first table top comprises at least one first table top tenon. The first support comprises two first support tenons. The method comprises: coupling the first support to the first side wall by coupling one of the first support tenons to the first side wall mortise; coupling the first support to the second side wall by coupling another one of the first support tenons to the second side wall mortise; and coupling the first table top to the first side wall via coupling the first table top tenon to the first side wall mortise, wherein the first table top is supported by the first support.
