A method of making a furniture item comprising:

• providing first and second edge lateral modules, each edge module comprising a substantially horizontal component having a receiving section and a substantially vertical component having a receiving section, spacing the first and second lateral edge modules with respect to each other so that the respective receiving section of the horizontal components face each other;
• locating a top surface having first and second ends relative to the first and second lateral edge modules, the first end being supported by the receiving section of the horizontal component of one first lateral edge module and the second end being supported by the receiving section of the horizontal component of the second lateral edge module, the top surface comprising a connector between the first and second lateral edge modules;
• and
• inserting a first leg having an upper into the receiving section of the vertical component of the first lateral edge module and inserting a second leg having an upper section into the receiving section of the vertical component of the second lateral edge module to form a table.
