Modular furniture attachment strap

A furniture member strap connection system, comprising:

• a first strap having a plurality of loop members at a first end and a plurality of hook members at a second end and a first sewn area positioned between the loop members and the hook members;
• a second strap having opposed ends overlapping each other and defining a looped end;
• a buckle member having an elongated aperture receiving the looped end of the second strap;
• a first furniture member having the first strap sewn to the first furniture member at the first sewn area;
• a second furniture member having the second strap sewn to the second furniture member so that the buckle member is freely extending;
• a first material patch having the first strap connected to the first material patch, and a second material patch having the second strap connected to the second material patch, each of the first and second material patches individually connected to a side frame of one of the first and second furniture members and each positioned proximate to a junction between the side frame and a deck covering of the furniture member;
• first and second apertures pre-located in the first and second material patches operable to visually line up individual ones of the first and second straps for attachment to the individual ones of the first and second furniture members;
• a first strap assembly having the second end of the first strap slidably disposed through the elongated aperture of the buckle member and the plurality of hook members releasably engaged with the plurality of loop members, the first strap assembly operable to releasably join the first and second furniture members.

A method for connecting furniture members using a strap assembly, the strap assembly including a first strap having a plurality of loop members at a first end and a plurality of hook members at a second end, and a first sewn area positioned between the loop members and the hook members;

• a second strap having opposed ends overlapping each other and defining a looped end;
• and a buckle member having an elongated aperture operable to receive the looped end, the method comprising:
• creating opposed notches in both the first strap operable for aligning the plurality of hook members and the plurality of loop members;
• attaching the first strap to a first furniture member at the first sewn area;
• connecting the second strap to a second furniture member;
• slidably disposing the second end of the first strap through the elongated aperture of the buckle member;
• releasably engaging the plurality of hook members with the plurality of loop members to releasably join the first and second furniture members;
• and
• pre-sewing the first strap to a first material patch after aligning the first strap with a first pair of apertures created on the first material patch;
• pre-sewing the second strap to a second material patch after aligning the second strap with a second pair of apertures created on the second material patch;
• and
• fixedly joining opposing ones of the first and second material patches to individual ones of the first and second furniture members.
