Abstract

A modular furniture system includes a first leg having an elongated top edge extending between an inside face and an opposing outside face. A first engagement channel is recessed along the top edge of first leg. A second leg is spaced apart from the first leg and has an elongated top edge extending between an inside face and an opposing outside face. A first engagement channel is also recessed along the top edge of the second leg. A seat frame includes a first side rail, a spaced apart second side rail, and at least one brace extending therebetween. The first side rail has a lower edge received within the first engagement channel of the first leg and the second side rail has a lower edge received within the first engagement channel of the second leg so as to removably secure the seat frame to the first and second leg.
