• first and second back insert sections each having a side surface, an upper portion and a lower portion, each of said lower portions having substantially horizontal and vertical parts;
• a back horizontal bottom rail interposed between the vertical parts of the lower portions of said back insert sections;
• a back horizontal top rail interposed between the upper portions of said back insert sections;
• and
• a back horizontal intermediate rail interposed between said back insert sections intermediate said bottom and top rails, the side surfaces of said first and second back insert sections slidably fitting between said first and second arm members, the substantially horizontal parts of the lower portions of said insert sections being positioned on the shelf portions of said side base plates and the vertical parts of the lower portions of said insert sections abutting against the back ends of said side base plates;
• means for removably attaching the first and second back insert sections to said first and second arm members respectively;
• and
• a front member interposed between said first and second spaced apart arm members, said front member being attached to the inner surface of said first and second arm members.

• front and back members interposed between the front and back portions respectively of the inner surfaces of said first and second arm members;
• first and second side support members affixed to the inner surfaces of said first and second arm members respectively;
• a seat member resting on said side support members without means attaching said seat member thereto;
• first fastening means for removably connecting said first and second arm members to said back member, said first fastening means serving solely for securing said first and second arm members to said back member without supporting said seat member;
• and
• second fastening means for removably connecting said first and second arm members to said front member, said second fastening means serving solely for securing said first and second arm members to said front member without supporting said seat member.
