Abstract
A novel furniture leg attachment system is provided for attaching legs to articles of furniture, for example chairs. In one embodiment, a furniture member, such as a seat, is provided which defines a slot and a fastener first bore intersecting the slot. The leg member has a tab received within the slot. The tab defines a fastener second bore which is aligned with the fastener first bore when the tab is correctly received within the slot. A fastener is inserted through the fastener first bore and the fastener second bore to retain the tab within the slot. In alternate embodiments, the leg member may have two, three or more tabs, sized and shaped to fit within corresponding slots in the furniture member. In one embodiment, a smooth fastener such as a peg is used to retain the tabs within the slots, allowing easy assembly. Locking means device may be included to retain the fastener in place and to make disassembly difficult.
