Abstract
A furniture system comprising a plurality of vertical frame sub-assemblies and a support sub-assembly. The vertical frame sub-assembly includes an upper beam and a lower beam, coupled to each other by way of a plurality of attachment support beams. The support sub-assembly includes a plurality of horizontal support beams that extend between adjoining vertical frame sub-assemblies. Additionally, a plurality of cross bar support beams extend between the at least one of adjoining vertical frame sub-assemblies and horizontal support beams.

A furniture system comprising:
- a frame assembly having at least two vertical frame sub-assemblies and a support sub-assembly extending therebetween, each vertical frame sub-assembly comprising:
- an upper beam having a first end and a second end, the upper beam having a base wall and opposing extensions extending from the base wall, the opposing extensions having a plurality of openings extending therealong between the first end and the second end, with the opposing extensions defining a slot opposite the base wall, the upper beam defining an upper beam cross-sectional configuration;
- a lower beam having a first end and a second end, the lower beam having a base wall and opposing extensions extending from the base wall, the opposing extensions having a base wall and opposing extensions extending from the base wall, the opposing extensions having a plurality of openings extending therealong between the first end and the second end, with the opposing extension defining a slot opposite the base wall, the lower beam defining a lower beam cross-sectional configuration;
- the lower beam positioned relative to the upper beam so that the opposing slots face each other and are spaced apart a predetermined distance from each other, and substantially parallel to each other;
- and
- at least two attachment support beams, the attachment support beams each having a first end and a second end, the first end of each of the at least two attachment support beams extending into the slot of the upper beam and attached thereto, and, the second end of each of the at least two attachment support beams extending into the slot of the lower beam and attached thereto;
- and
- at least two support sub-assemblies coupling the vertical support assemblies to each other, the at least two support sub-assemblies positioned in a spaced apart orientation.
