Abstract
A multiple-piece corner post used for cushioning and supporting large appliances is provided. The corner post is made from two or more structural members joined together. The multiple structural members are shaped into the desired shapes and then joined together near the ends to form a generally “L” shaped corner post. Similarly shaped structural members may be nested to save space during shipping prior to assembly.
