ABSTRACT:
A new concept of assembly furniture comprises frame components and panels which fit in grooves in the frame components together with fixing members for fixing frame components to each other at their ends, for example, parallelepedic furniture units. The frame components furthermore have formations in them, for example, a set of holes of standardized pitch into which elongate members which have matching formations at their ends can fit when the frame components are assembled. These elongate members with formations at their ends allow for the mounting of hinges, drawer runners and shelf supports and the like without the necessity for drilling, screwing or any other fastening approach. The key feature of the assembly furniture is that it is capable of being disassembled and reassembled into different kinds of furniture by the owner thereof. For example, in a child's bedroom as the child grows up the style in aesthetic respects and functional aspects of the furniture can be changed using the original components purchased.
