ABSTRACT:
A modular assembly for use in forming an article of furniture or the like including a connector member for joining together three elongated members on mutually perpendicular axes. The connector member includes three pairs of flanges which are received respectively in U-shaped channels in the three elongated members with the members secured in each case to the connector member by a clamping member which clamps the flanges of the elongated member between the flanges on the connector member and flange portions on the clamping member. The portions of the connector member receiving the horizontal elongated members are recessed inwardly or rearwardly from the connector member portion receiving the vertical member so that the ends of the horizontal elongated members may pass behind the vertical member to hide the raw edges of the horizontal members. The connector member and the various fastening elements are essentially totally hidden from view in the final assembly.
