Abstract

A quick-release fastener assembly detachably and adjustably couples a drawer front and a drawer body. The fastener assembly includes a tightening fastener rotatably positioned within the drawer body, a fastening rod extending between the drawer front and the drawer body, and a base housing mounted within the drawer body. The fastening rod includes a head portion at one end detachably connected to the tightening fastener and a substantially T-shaped tail portion at an opposite end for attaching the fastening rod to the base housing. The T-shaped tail portion is received within a slot of the base housing and the fastening rod is rotated relative to the base housing to a secured position to secure the fastening rod to the base housing.
