Mounting platform for modular furniture assembly

A reconfigurable foot system for use with a modular furniture assembly, the modular furniture assembly comprising at least one a base member coupled to at least one transverse member having a height that is greater than a height of the base member, the at least one base member and at least one transverse member each having a frame assembly configured to have at least one foot removably coupled thereto, the reconfigurable foot system comprising:

• a plurality of platform assemblies each comprising:
• a platform configured to be selectively mounted on both the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly to thereby couple the base member frame assembly to the transverse member frame assembly, the platform comprising at least one coupling aperture and at least one mounting aperture;
• at least one mounting foot configured to be selectively mounted on the platform via the at least one mounting aperture and configured to contact a support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration with the platform assembly coupled thereto;
• and
• at least one fastener configured to couple the platform to at least one of:
• (i) the base member frame assembly;
• and (ii) the transverse member frame assembly, the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly each having an aperture therein for receiving the at least one fastener, the at least one fastener being configured to extend through the at least one coupling aperture of the platform and into at least one of:
• (i) the aperture of the base member frame assembly;
• and (ii) the aperture of the transverse member frame assembly.

A method for coupling two modules of a modular furniture assembly, the modular furniture assembly comprising:

• (i) a base member;
• and (ii) a transverse member having a height that is greater than a height of the base member, the base member having a base member frame assembly and at least one foot removably coupled to the base member frame assembly, and the transverse member having a transverse member frame assembly and at least one foot removably coupled to the transverse member frame assembly, the method comprising:
• coupling the base member frame assembly to the transverse member frame assembly by mounting a platform on both the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, the platform having a plurality of coupling apertures and at least one mounting aperture, wherein mounting a platform on both the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly comprises extending a fastener through each of the plurality of coupling apertures and into corresponding apertures of the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly;
• and
• selectively mounting at least one mounting foot on the mounting platform via the at least one mounting aperture.
