Abstract
A furniture assembly including a support member and a table. The support member includes a frame, a first plurality of leg members, a first support flange, and a second support flange. The first support flange is arranged opposite the second support flange. The table includes an upper panel, a second plurality of leg members, a first flange-engaging member, and a second flange-engaging member. The first flange-engaging member is arranged opposite the second flange-engaging member. The first flange-engaging member and the second flange-engaging member are arranged relative the support member in a nested configuration below the first support flange and the second support flange; or a stacked configuration above the first support flange and the second support flange.

A furniture assembly comprising:
- a support member including:
- a frame;
- a first plurality of leg members extending from the frame, wherein the frame and the first plurality of leg members define a volumetric cavity;
- a first support flange extending from the frame;
- and
- a second support flange extending from the frame and arranged opposite the first support flange;
- and
- a table including:
- an upper panel;
- a second plurality of leg members extending from the upper panel;
- a first flange-engaging member supported by at least one first leg of the second plurality of leg members;
- and
- a second flange-engaging member supported by at least one second leg of the second plurality of leg members, wherein the first flange-engaging member is arranged opposite the second flange-engaging member, wherein the first flange-engaging member and the second flange-engaging member are arranged relative the support member in:
- a nested configuration within the volumetric cavity below the first support flange and the second support flange;
- or
- a stacked configuration not within the volumetric cavity above the first support flange and the second support flange.
A furniture assembly comprising:
- a support member including:
- a square frame;
- a first plurality of leg members extending from the square frame, wherein the square frame and the first plurality of leg members define a volumetric cavity;
- a first support flange extending from the square frame;
- and
- a second support flange extending from the square frame is arranged opposite the first support flange;
- and
- a table including:
- an upper panel;
- a second plurality of leg members extending from the upper panel;
- a first flange-engaging member supported by at least one first leg of the second plurality of leg members;
- and
- a second flange-engaging member supported by at least one second leg of the second plurality of leg members, wherein the first flange-engaging member is arranged opposite the second flange-engaging member, wherein the first flange-engaging member and the second flange-engaging member are arranged relative the support member:
- in a nested configuration within the volumetric cavity below the first support flange and the second support flange;
- or
- in a stacked configuration not within the volumetric cavity above the first support flange and the second support flange.
A furniture assembly comprising:
- a support member including:
- a circular frame;
- a first plurality of leg members extending from the circular frame, wherein the circular frame and the first plurality of leg members define a volumetric cavity;
- a first support flange extending from the circular frame;
- and
- a second support flange extending from the circular frame is arranged opposite the first support flange;
- and
- a table including:
- an upper panel;
- a second plurality of leg members extending from the upper panel;
- a first flange-engaging member supported by at least one first leg of the second plurality of leg members;
- and
- a second flange-engaging member supported by at least one second leg of the second plurality of leg members, wherein the first flange-engaging member is arranged opposite the second flange-engaging member, wherein the first flange-engaging member and the second flange-engaging member are arranged relative the support member in one of, wherein:
- a nested configuration within the volumetric cavity below the first support flange and the second support flange;
- and
- a stacked configuration not within the volumetric cavity above the first support flange and the second support flange.
