ABSTRACT:
A method of edging a piece of furniture, such as a desk, and assemblies utilizing such edging are provided. Normal impact forces are absorbed by surfaces which do not permanently dent or crack in normal usage, retaining the integrity of the furniture edges while providing desirable feel and cushioning. An elongated core of relatively hard material having an elongated cross-member and an elongated leg disposed in a plane perpendicular to the cross-member has a body of relatively soft, flexible material (such as polyurethane foam with a surface skin) molded around it. A portion of the core leg extends outwardly from the body and is disposed in a channel formed in an elongated narrow face of the piece of furniture. The surface skin of the body may be textured. When utilized with a desk, protection is further provided by forming the drawer fronts of sheet metal with thermoplastic foam molded around them, the molded drawer fronts matching the molded contour of bodies providing the desk front narrow faces.
