A table (10) includes a support structure (12) including a frame (14) displaceable between a first, retracted configuration and a second, extended configuration. A table top arrangement (16) is carried by the support structure (12). The table top arrangement (16) comprises at least two table tops (18, 20) stackable on each other when the frame (14) is in its first configuration and to be arranged side-by side on the frame (14) when the frame (14) is in its second, extended configuration. The table tops (18, 20) have complementary restraining formations to restrain relative movement between the table tops (18, 20) when stacked. A locating mechanism is carried by the support structure (12), the locating mechanism co-operating with a lowermost table top (18) when the frame (14) is in its retracted configuration and to co-operate with the at least two table tops (18, 20) when the frame (14) is in its extended configuration to inhibit lateral movement of the table tops (18, 20) relative to the support structure (12).
An article of furniture (10) comprises a flexible member (12) and a pair of substantially rigid supporting members (14, 16) carried by the flexible member (12). At least one substantially rigid bridging member (18, 20) releasably connects the pair of supporting members (14, 16) to extend between the pair of supporting members (14, 16) to retain the supporting members (14, 16) in spaced relationship relative to each other. The pair of substantially rigid supporting members (14, 16) and the at least one substantially rigid bridging member (18, 20), when connected to the supporting members (14, 16), imparting at least a seat portion (22) to the flexible member (12).
A system (10) for packaging at least one resiliently deformable article (14) includes a first portion (12) of a retainer (13) to partially cover the article (14). The first portion (12) of the retainer (13) carries a first part of a fastener arrangement. A second portion (22) of the retainer (13) is placed about an uncovered part of the article (14) to form a stack, the second portion of the retainer carrying a second part of the fastener arrangement, the first portion of the retainer initially being spaced from second portion of the retainer. The system (10) includes a press (11) to compress the stack to deform the article (14) resiliently and to bring the first and second parts of the fastener arrangement into juxtaposition with each other to be fastened together to retain the article (14) in a compressed state.

A support assembly (10) for an article of furniture includes a frame (14). The frame (14) is arranged in spaced relationship about a periphery (18) of a substantially planar member (16). A reinforcing arrangement is carried by the planar member (16) to reinforce at least the periphery (18) of the planar member (18), the reinforcing arrangement comprising a plurality of discrete reinforcing members (20), (22), each reinforcing member (20), (22) being of a substantially rigid material and extending about a part of the periphery (18) of the planar member (16). The assembly (10) includes a plurality of elastically deformable members (24), each elastically deformable member (24) being mounted to, and extending between, the frame (14) and one of the reinforcing members (20), (22). The elastically deformable members (24) are arranged at spaced intervals about the periphery (18) of the planar member (16).

A bed base (10) includes at least one pair of platforms (12), the platforms (12) being configured to be laid end to end, and the platforms (12) being mirror images of each other. Each platform (12) defines, proximate an end of the platform, a set of mounting formations (13) for mounting an end board (14) of a bed. A supporting arrangement (22) is configured to be removably mounted to an underside of the at least one pair of platforms (12). The supporting arrangement (22) is configured to arrange the at least one pair of platforms (12) in an elevated position relative to a surface, the supporting arrangement (22) including at least one connector connectable to two platforms (12) to interconnect the platforms (12).
A modular base assembly (10) for an article of furniture includes a plurality of base modules, each base module comprising a frame (12) carrying a planar panel and having a plurality of apertures (16) spaced inwardly of the frame (12). A plurality of leg modules (18) is provided, each leg module (18) having a plurality of locating pins (20). Each pin is configured to be inserted into one of the apertures (16) to allow the leg module (18) to be releasably secured to at least one of the base modules to support the at least one base module in an elevated position relative to a surface. The locating pins (20) are spaced apart at opposed ends of a bridging portion spanning adjacent peripheral regions of the frames (12) to allow insertion of the locating pins (20) in apertures (16) of each of a first and a second base module to secure the base modules together.
