Abstract
Abstract A furniture structure of the type having a horizontal planar surface supported by a plurality of legs which are bounded by skirt sections includes a mounting bracket at each corner defining a vertical channel below the planar surface adapted to mate with two sidewalls of a tubular leg. Mating fastener means carried by the bracket and interior of the leg provide means to removably attach each leg.
