A plurality of panel-like members are assembled with a plurality of post-like members, with slot and tab connectors provided at the bottom of the members, the slot and tab connectors requiring no tools for assembly. The top edge is readily assembled, using connector brackets covered by top caps, mounted on receiver pieces, having a plurality of elongated slots cooperating with a plurality of prongs depending from the top caps. The prongs and slots provide a tight interference fit to keep the parts in proper relation to each other.
