Abstract
Easily assembled structures formed by light weight members that are readily and securely joined using a compressible clip. The clip is attached to partially embrace one member and project from it for axial insertion into another member. The inner walls of the latter compress the clip and form the desired junction between the two members. The assemblage can be mounted vertically using elongated hooks.
