The first attachment member is adapted to mate with the second attachment member with the protrusions positioned in the depressions. Engagement structure is provided for securing the first attachment member to the second attachment member. The first attachment member is provided on a first furniture piece and the second attachment member is provided on a second furniture piece. The first attachment member is mated with the second attachment member to properly position the first furniture piece relative to the second furniture piece. The engagement member engages the first attachment member to the second attachment member to secure the first furniture piece to the second furniture piece. A method for securing a first furniture piece to a second furniture piece is also disclosed.
