Abstract
A kit includes a furniture module bracket and a furniture leg. The furniture module bracket has a flange defining a furniture leg attachment opening. Protrusions are attached to the flange to define a keyway between adjoining protrusions. One of the protrusions defines a protrusion aperture. The furniture leg comprises a furniture leg bracket attached to a support member. The furniture leg bracket defines keys which can pass through the keyways. At least one of the keys defines a key aperture. The furniture leg can be attached to the furniture module by (i) inserting the furniture leg bracket into the furniture leg attachment opening, (ii) rotating the support member until the keys are no longer aligned with the keyways and (iii) securing the furniture module bracket to the furniture leg bracket with a fastener disposed within an aligned key aperture and a protrusion aperture.
