Seat assembly

A method, comprising:

• providing a seat member comprising having a first seat surface, a second seat surface, and a third seat surface opposite the second seat surface, wherein the third seat surface is essentially parallel to the second seat surface, and wherein the first seat surface is substantially perpendicular to the second seat surface and the third seat surface;
• affixing a first side panel to the second seat surface, wherein the first side panel is affixed substantially perpendicular to the first seat surface;
• affixing a second side panel to the third seat surface, wherein the second side panel is affixed substantially perpendicular to the first seat surface;
• and
• movably affixing a bin to the first side panel and the second side panel, the bin comprising an open compartment and being movable between a first position that obstructs the compartment and a second position that permits access to the compartment,
• wherein each one of the first side panel and the second side panelcomprises a perimeter surface comprising,
• a first area substantially parallel to the first seat surface;
• and
• a second area oblique to the first seat surface, the second portion being adjacent the first portion,
• wherein a plane substantially perpendicular to the first seat surface contains a first vector normal to the first area and a second vector normal to the second area.

A seat assembly, comprising:

• a seat member having a first seat surface, a second seat surface, and a third seat surface opposite the second seat surface, wherein the third seat surface is essentially parallel to the second seat surface, and wherein the first seat surface is substantially perpendicular to the second seat surface and the third seat surface;
• a first side panel affixed to the second seat surface, wherein the first side panel Is substantially perpendicular to the first seat surface;
• a second side panel affixed to the third seat surface, wherein the second side panel is substantially perpendicular to the first seat surface;
• and
• a bin movably affixed to the first side panel and the second side panel, the bin comprising an open compartment and being movable between a first position that obstructs the compartment and a second position that permits access to the compartment;
• wherein the bin comprises a first bin sidewall and a second bin sidewall opposite the first bin sidewall, wherein the first bin sidewall defines first openings through the first bin sidewall, the first openings aligned along a direction substantially perpendicular to the first seat surface, and wherein the second bin sidewall defines second openings through the first bin sidewall, the second openings aligned along the direction substantially perpendicular to the first seat surface.
