Abstract
An axial and compressive load support assembly for supporting an axial load and longitudinal compression provides axial load and compressive support for a seat and a load. The assembly provides support through a vertical polyhedron member with radially extending L-shaped legs that from an obtuse angle. The polyhedron member bears an axial load, such as the seat and a load. A plurality of struts extend between the legs and the polyhedron member at an angle. The struts resist longitudinal compression by providing outwards-facing support in a lengthwise direction. A crossbar extends between the strut and the legs. The crossbar is defined by apertures configured to align with the fastening holes in the polyhedron member and enable passage of at least one fastener for detachably fastening the connected legs, struts, and crossbars to the polyhedron member. A wooden extension can be integrated into the second rod of the legs.
