Abstract
An improved joint is provided for modular furniture. The joint includes a dovetail shaped tab and a corresponding slot. The tab is held in the slot such that the tab is maintained in an elastically bent position while the item of modular furniture is in an assembled configuration. The tab and slot provides increased stiffness and rigidity to the piece of furniture while allowing the piece of furniture to be assembled without fasteners such as screws or nails.
