A multi-piece chair comprising side rails each having an opposed inner surface, transverse slats providing load bearing surfaces, the ends of said stats and said side rails being detachably interconnected to form interlocked joints at the ends of said stats with their respective inner surface of the side rail, each of said joints including a plug formed integrally with said side rail and having a front face spaced from said inner surface to form a socket in the spaced defined between said inner surface and said front face, said slats including an interfitting socket formed integrally at each end thereof, said socket having a back wall at each end being bounded by an outwardly extending top wall and two opposing side walls each having ribs, thereby defining an open end and a slot between said back wall and said ribs, said slot being sized to receive said plug, a cam rib extending outwardly from said back wall at a point opposite but distant from said top wall, whereby said slats may be attached to said rails by sliding said plug into the slot over the resistance of the cam rib and whereby said slats may be removed by like reverse action, and wherein said back wall is constructed from a material having greater resilience than said front face on said plug.
