ABSTRACT:
A furniture assembly includes: a first seating unit with a stationary support; a second seating unit with a stationary support; and a connector that is configured to interconnect the first and second seating units such that respective lateral portions thereof are adjacent. The connector includes: a first component attached to the stationary support of the first seating unit; a second component attached to the stationary support of the second seating unit; and interconnecting structure attached to the first and second components that (a) prevents relative horizontal movement of the first and second seating units when the first and second seating units are in an interconnected condition, and (b) permits relative vertical movement of the first and second seating units when in the interconnected condition to separate the first and second seating units. This configuration can enable the rapid interconnection and separation of adjacent seating units.
