Abstract
Multiple assemblable components are engaged by connectors positioned across abutment edges on adjacent components and received within recesses in the base panels of adjacent components to form a planar upper surface. Selected ones of the components have vertical walls which can be connected in back-to-back relation to each other by clips. The connectors can include depending projections engaged within openings in the recess bottoms, with selected connectors having upwardly projecting elongate dividers mounted thereto.
