Abstract: An article of furniture is formed by a plurality of interlocking elements. Horizontally-arranged shelves include mortises formed between notches in adjacent slats. The slats are separated by longitudinal spacings within the shelves. Vertical supports which terminate in mating tenons are arranged perpendicular to the shelves. Units for housing drawers are provided that include top and bottom sets of rails for slidable mounting between pairs of shelves. Bookend arrangements that include protruding dowels and stops are slidably secured within the spacings between the slats of the shelves. The furniture requires no external fasteners and is totally compatible with knockdown assembly and disassembly.
