A lightweight knockdown table and cabinet structure adapted for ease of assembly and disassembly comprised of a plurality of hollow tubular frame members releasably interconnected by a plurality of fasteners and lock assemblies and having a multi-sectioned top which adds rigidity and support to the structure. The fastener and lock assemblies each include a fastening device with multiple end connectors. The fastening devices are slidably insertable into the frame members and have a guide slot bridging into a locking slot. The end connectors are also insertable into the frame members and have a projecting male connector end. The male connector end is insertable into the guide slot and movable into locking engagement within the locking slot to releasably interlock the frame members together at right angles. The multi-sectioned top includes adjacent middle and side sections with support flanges which rest upon opposing frame members. The side sections each have an outwardly extending re-enforcement lip which lies under the adjacent frame member to add rigidity and support to the structure.

A knockdown table and cabinet structure adapted for ease of assembly and disassembly, comprising: (a) a plurality of hollow tubular frame member of substantially square cross section, the frame members including first and second groups; (b) a plurality of fastening devices, each fastening device having a slidably insertable end adapted for slidable insertion into the end of a tubular frame member of the first group with a wide guide slot therein and an extending end with a narrow locking slot bridging into the guide slot; a shoulder at the junction of the slidably insertable end and the extending end, said shoulder sized to abut against the end of a tubular frame member and thereby to limit the extending end from ingress into said tubular frame member; (c) resilient fastening means for joining together a pair of said fastening devices at opposite ends of a tubular frame member, passing inside said tubular frame member, said resilient fastening means permitting partial egress of said slidably insertable ends from said tubular frame member and resiliently urging said pair of fastening devices inwardly toward abutment of said shoulders against respective ends of said tubular frame member; (d) a plurality of end connectors, each connector having a slidably insertable end adapted for insertion and affixing into the end of a tubular frame member AND second group and a projecting male connector end of a dimension sized to be readily insertable into the guide slot but not insertable into the locking slot but movable into the locking slot from the guide slot for rigid and secure locking engagement of the respective frame members together, said locking engagement being aided by the resilient fastening means holding respective pairs of said fastening devices inwardly in said tubular frame members to abut said shoulders against respective ends of said tubular frame members.
