Abstract: A frame assembly of the knock-down type in which the component parts can be shipped or transported in a knock-down condition and readily constructed with a minimum of tools or no tools, and disassembled when desired. The frame assembly includes at least one pair of spaced vertical stiles and at least one pair of horizontal rails substantially orthogonal thereto, and associated connecting elements for connecting the stiles and rails, one of the connecting elements being joined with a stile at a corner connection thereof and another of the connecting elements being joined with a rail at a corner connection thereof so that a pair of the associated connecting elements joins one of the stiles to one of the rails, and all of the stiles and rails as appropriate are joined to each other.
