Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming a metal frame for an article of furniture which includes a base portion made up of four peripheral edge members disposed in a rectangular arrangement. The frame also includes a back frame portion and two arm frame portions each having at least three peripheral edge members which are interconnected to each other at right angles. Each of the base frame portion, the back frame portion and the two arm frame portions includes at least one strip of longitudinally corrugated metallic sheet material which has at least one generally U-shaped longitudinally extending rib therein. Bend locations are provided for bending the strip of longitudinally corrugated metallic sheet material at right angles. A combination of corresponding strips of velcro, hooks and loops are used in conjunction with J-strips to removably attach upholstery to the frame.
