ABSTRACT:
A leg constuction (18) for supporting the weight of an upper member (12) in an article of furniture (10) comprises an elongated metal support member (20) adapted to be secured to the upper member and of sufficient length to support the upper member above the floor. The metal support member has at least one elongated retaining tongue (30, 32) extending along at least a portion of the length of the metal support member. An elongated wooden cover member (72) is mounted on the metal support member, the elongated cover member having a length substantially coextensive with the metal support member for covering the metal support member. In addition, the cover member has at least one elongated retaining groove (86, 88) for slidably receiving the elongated retaining tongue of the metal support member, thereby slidably retaining the cover member on the metal support member. The cover member substantially conceals the metal support member from view from at least one side of the furniture article.
