Abstract
A furniture component, made of plastic, which is molded in a generally flat form having a frame element and foldable frame members which can be displaced in relation to the frame element. A pair of receptors are formed in the frame element adjacent each displaceable frame member, and corresponding limbs are formed on each displaceable frame member for engagement in the receptors. Each of the receptors comprises a cavity and includes a pair of upstanding pegs to orient the frame members at a predetermined angular orientation in relation to the frame element.
