    Abstract: Methods for constructing and apparatus for furniture. In some embodiments, the furniture includes a plurality of subassemblies, with each component within the subassembly being interlocked with adjacent components. Preferably, there is additional interlocking between adjacent subassemblies. Preferably, the furniture is easily and simply constructed without the use of fasteners or tools. Prior to assembly, the components are generally planar, which facilitates storage of the disassembled furniture. In some embodiments, each of the components within a subassembly are substantially identical to the other components, thus minimizing fabrication costs.
