• a bracket mounted to an upper front edge of the body for fixing to the furniture frame;
• and
• a horizontal cover section formed as a generally U-shaped one-piece member extending between the bracket and the front surface of the body, the U-shaped member having two horizontally oriented legs defining a groove facing the bracket and a planar front face presenting a continuous smooth surface facing away from the bracket with one leg connected to the bracket and the other leg terminating in a downwardly directed plate extending from a rearward edge thereof, with an outwardly directed surface of the downwardly directed plate abutting the front surface of the body at various positions therealong;
• the horizontal cover section extending laterally from one vertical cover section to the other along the upper front edge of the body between the vertical cover sections and the vertical cover sections covering a vertical gap between the body and the frame wherein the horizontal cover section acts with the vertical cover sections to provide a cover that has a uniform, smooth outwardly-directed surface.
