The pair of segments are respectively affixed to the sides of the central member. The central member, the pair of segments and the first and second elements are formed of a wooden material. The central member has a generally square configuration. The central member is entirely surrounded by the pair of segments and the first and second elements. Each of the pair of segments in each of the first and second elements having a planar side affixed to the central member and a curved surface opposite to the planar surface. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A furniture component comprising: a central member having a top, a bottom, a first side and a second side extending between the top and the bottom; a pair of circular segments each defined by a chord of a circle, said pair of circular segments respectively affixed to said pair of sides, each of said pair of circular segments having a planar surface affixed respectively to the first and second sides of said central member, the planar surface having a length greater than a width of said central member such that said pair of circular segments has a first portion extending outwardly beyond said central member and such that said pair of circular segments has a second portion extending outwardly beyond said central member; a first element affixed to the top of the central member and between the first portions of said pair of circular segments; and a second element affixed to the bottom of the central member and between the second portions of said pair of circular segments, each of said pair of circular segments having a curved surface opposite said central member, each of the first and second elements having a curved surface opposite said central member, the curved surface and said pair of curved segments and the curved surface of said first and second elements being continuous. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The furniture component of claim 1, said central member, said pair of circular segments, and said first and second elements being formed of a wooden material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The furniture component of claim 1, said central member having a generally square cross-section. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The furniture component of claim 1, said central member being formed of a plurality of sheets that are laminated together. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The furniture component of claim 1, said central member being entirely surrounded by said pair of circular segments and said first and second elements. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The furniture component of claim 1, each of said pair of circular segments having a curved surface opposite to said planar surface, said curved surface forming an exterior of the furniture component. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The furniture component of claim 1, said first element having a planar surface affixed to the top of said central member, said second element having a planar surface affixed to the bottom of said central member, each of said first and second circular elements having a curved surface opposite to the planar surface thereof. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The furniture component of claim 1, the curved surfaces of said pair of circular segments and said first and second elements being arranged in a circular configuration. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The furniture component of claim 1, said pair of circular segments and said first and second elements being adhesively affixed to said central member.
