Abstract
A composite leg assembly for an article of furniture, in particular a desk or other work table, consists of a plurality, typically three, elongate, laterally spaced, structural members, conveniently of run-of-the-mill metal tubing, interconnected at each of the upper and lower ends by a terminal member. At least one, and usually a plurality of non-structural extrusions are supported by the structural members to define a facade which substantially envelopes and obscures the structural members to form an apparently robust and substantial leg assembly. Various additional features and furniture applications are also described.
