Abstract

A collapsible, configurable furniture piece including a transverse member supporting a first panel. The transverse member defines a first end portion and an opposing second end portion. A first support member is coupled to the first end portion of the transverse member. A first brace is pivotally coupled to the first support member. The first brace at least partially supports a second panel. The first support member is pivotally movable with respect to the first brace between a first configuration, wherein the first support member extends from the first brace such that the first panel is substantially parallel with the second panel, and a second configuration, wherein the first support member is substantially coplanar with the first brace such that the first panel extends at one of a right angle and an oblique angle with respect to the second panel.
