Abstract: An article of furniture includes frame members, a seat member supported on the frame member, a concealed joint for pivotally coupling two frame members to each other, and an attachment for coupling the seat to the frame members. The two frame members include truncated bores for concealing the joint. The pivotal joint includes a pair of connecting members which are received in the truncated bores in fixed relationship to the frame members. Each connecting member has an opening for receiving a bearing member. A retainer is inserted through the bearing member and engages both connecting members to prevent lateral separation of the frame members. Each connecting member is independently rotatable on the bearing member.
