Abstract
Furniture seats have forward, rearward and intermediate horizontal support conduits extending parallel with respect to one another in a lengthwise direction of the seat. The forward and rearward horizontal support conduits include a plurality of blind holes, while the intermediate horizontal support conduit includes plural pairs of through holes. A number of generally L-shaped one-piece decking support conduits have their forward and rearward ends inserted into respective ones of the blind holes of the forward and rearward horizontal support conduits. A region between such forward and rearward ends is inserted into a respective pair of through holes of the intermediate horizontal support conduit so that the horizontal support conduit is sleeved thereover. A plurality of parallel decking structures (preferably smaller-diameter conduits) are attached to said L-shaped decking support conduits so as to form a surface to support a person in a seated position.
