Abstract
Provided is a furniture part assembly that includes a sidewall, a covering member, and a fitting. The sidewall is provided with a mounting feature. The covering member is detachably mounted on the mounting feature. The fitting is configured to be mounted to the mounting feature of the sidewall, and thus stacked on the sidewall, after the covering member is detached from the mounting feature. A piece of furniture having the furniture part assembly is also provided.
Claims14
A furniture part assembly, comprising:
- a sidewall defining a height direction and being formed with a mounting feature, wherein the mounting feature is an aperture formed with a first inner wall and a second inner wall;
- a covering member detachably mountable to the mounting feature;
- and
- a fitting defining a height direction and being detachably mounted to the mounting feature, the fitting including a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion and being stacked on the sidewall in the height directions of the sidewall and the fitting for selectively increasing a height of the sidewall when the covering member is detached from the mounting feature, wherein a physical gap is formed between the first and second mounting portions;
- wherein the covering member is mounted on the mounting feature for covering the mounting feature of the sidewall when the fitting is detached from the mounting feature;
- wherein the first and second mounting portions of the fitting are, respectively, mounted on the first and second inner walls of the aperture when the covering member is detached from the mounting feature;
- and
- wherein with respect to the first and second mounting portions, only the first mounting portion includes an engaging hook for hooking onto the first inner wall of the aperture.

A furniture part assembly, comprising:
- a sidewall including a bottom portion and a top portion and defining a height direction therebetween, the top portion having a first predetermined height with respect to the bottom portion, and the top portion being provided with a mounting feature, wherein the mounting feature is an aperture being formed with a first inner wall and a second inner wall;
- a covering member detachably mountable to the mounting feature;
- and
- a fitting including a bottom portion and a top portion and defining a height direction therebetween, and the bottom portion of the fitting including a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion;
- wherein the bottom portion of the fitting is mounted to the mounting feature of the sidewall when the covering member is detached from the mounting feature, thereby the fitting being stacked on the sidewall in the height directions of the sidewall and the fitting for selectively increasing a height of the sidewall, wherein the first and second mounting portions are two separate mechanical components and wherein a physical gap is formed therebetween, and the fitting, further, including a front portion and a rear portion, and the top portion of the fitting having a second predetermined height with respect to the bottom portion of the sidewall, wherein the second predetermined height is greater than the first predetermined height;
- wherein the first and second mounting portions are, respectively, mounted on the first and second inner walls of the aperture when the covering member is detached from the mounting feature;
- wherein with respect to the first and second mounting portions, only the first mounting portion includes an engaging hook for hooking onto the first inner wall of the aperture;
- and
- wherein with respect to the front portion of the fitting, the first mounting portion is positioned closer thereto relative to the second mounting portion, and wherein with respect to the rear portion of the fitting, the second mounting portion is positioned closer thereto relative to the first mounting portion.

A piece of furniture, comprising:
- a bottom panel;
- a first sidewall and a second sidewall located, respectively, on a left side and a right side of the bottom panel, each of the first sidewall and the second sidewall defining a height direction;
- and
- a first panel and a second panel located, respectively, on a front side and a rear side of the bottom panel;
- wherein a mounting feature is formed on at least one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the mounting feature of a corresponding one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall being an aperture formed with a first inner wall and a second inner wall, and a covering member is detachably mountable to the mounting feature of a corresponding one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
- wherein at least one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall is detachably mountable with a fitting via the mounting feature of a corresponding one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall when the corresponding covering member is detached from the respective mounting feature, the fitting defining a height direction and including a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion and being stacked on a corresponding one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall in the height directions of the respective first sidewall and second sidewall and the fitting for selectively increasing a height of the respective first sidewall and second sidewall when the covering member is detached from the mounting feature of the respective first sidewall and second sidewall, wherein a physical gap is formed between the first and second mounting portions;
- wherein the first and second mounting portions of the fitting are, respectively, mounted on the first and second inner walls of the aperture of a corresponding one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall when the covering member is detached from the mounting feature of the respective first sidewall and second sidewall;
- and
- wherein with respect to the first and second mounting portions, only the first mounting portion includes an engaging hook for hooking onto the first inner wall of the aperture of a corresponding one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
