In some embodiments, the glide may include a surface floor contact member and a dampener isolator made from materials with noise and vibration reduction characteristics. Each of the components may further include ribbed members to facilitate attachment to the furniture leg.

Abstract: Modular seating sections can be joined to form booth seating that can easily be reconfigured or reupholstered. The seat sections include a generally vertical back element having a lower edge that is connected to the inner edge of a generally horizontal seat section. A gusset extends diagonally between the back section and the seat section to add rigidity and strength.
