A portion of a lock member (12, 56) is also received into each slot (4, 44) contiguous to a side rail (6, 50). One end of a rod (18, 58) engages member (12, 56). Rod (18, 58) extends through a horizontal portion of the structure, and its second end is engaged by an adjustable fastener to pull member (2, 42) and the horizontal portion together. In a first embodiment, two perpendicular side rails (6) are received into slots (4), and a diagonal corner brace (8) extends between rails (6). Lock member (12) extends around member (2) between slots (4). A bolt (18) engages a center portion of member (12), extends through member (12) and brace (8), and is fastened by a nut (22). In a second embodiment, one rail (50) is received into a T-shaped slot (44). The lock member is a plate (56) received into the head portion (46) of slot (44). Rod (58) is attached to plate (56), extends through a hole in rail (50), and is fastened by a nut (62). Preferably, the second end of rod (58) and nut (62) are positioned inside a cavity (54) in rail (50).
