1. A furniture assembly reconfigurable between a first position and a second position comprising: a seat assembly comprising first and second seat portions, the seat assembly defining a seat surface and comprising a first plurality of legs extending from a first side of the seat assembly,a second plurality of legs extending from a second side of the seat assembly, andfirst and second connectors;a first back portion having a first support surface, a first back leg portion, and third, fourth, fifth, and sixth connectors; anda second back portion having a second support surface, a second back leg portion, and seventh, eighth, and ninth connectors; wherebythe first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth connectors may be disconnected to allow the seat assembly, the first back portion, and the second back portion to be detached from each other;in the first position, the first connector engages the fourth connector to detachably attach the first back portion to the seat assembly, andthe fifth connector engages the eighth connector and the sixth connector engages the ninth connector to detachably attach the second back portion to the first back portion such thatthe first and second support surfaces are not aligned with the seat surface,the first back leg portion is arranged under the seat surface of the seat assembly such that the first back leg portion does not support the furniture assembly,the second back leg portion is arranged under the seat surface of the seat assembly such that the second back leg portion does not support the furniture assembly, andthe furniture assembly is supported in the first position by the first and second pluralities of legs extending from the seat assembly; andin the second position, the first connector engages the third connector to detachably attach the first back portion to the seat assembly, andthe second connector engages the seventh connector to detachably attach the second back portion to the seat assembly such thatthe first and second support surfaces are substantially aligned with the seat surface, andthe furniture assembly is supported by the first and second pluralities of legs extending from the seat portion and the first and second back leg portions. 2. The furniture assembly of claim 1, further comprising: the fifth and sixth connectors are each formed by at least one keyhole formed in one of the first and second back portions; andthe eighth and ninth connectors are each formed by at least one mushroom projection formed in the other of the first and second back portions; whereinthe mushroom projections each engage at least one keyhole to secure the second back portion to the first back portion when the furniture assembly is in the first position. 3. The furniture assembly of claim 2, further comprising: at least one seat projection formed on the seat assembly; andat least one back stopper formed in the first back portion; whereinthe at least one seat projection engages the at least one back stopper to secure the first back portion to the seat assembly when the furniture assembly is in the first position. 4. The furniture assembly of claim 2, further comprising: at least one overhang formed on the first back portion; andat least one leg stopper extending from at least one of the legs of the seat assembly; whereinthe at least one leg stopper engages the at least one overhang to resist rotation of the first back portion relative to the seat assembly when the furniture assembly is in the first position. 5. The furniture assembly of claim 1, further comprising: at least one seat projection formed on the seat assembly; andat least one back stopper formed in the first back portion; whereinthe at least one seat projection engages the at least one back stopper to secure the first back portion to the seat assembly when the furniture assembly is in the first position. 6. The furniture assembly of claim 5, further comprising: at least one overhang formed on the first back portion; andat least one leg stopper extending from at least one of the legs of the seat assembly; whereinthe at least one leg stopper engages the at least one overhang to resist rotation of the first back portion relative to the seat assembly when the furniture assembly is in the first position. 7. The furniture assembly of claim 1, further comprising: at least one overhang formed on the first back portion; andat least one leg stopper extending from at least one of the legs of the seat assembly; whereinthe at least one leg stopper engages the at least one overhang to resist rotation of the first back portion relative to the seat assembly when the furniture assembly is in the first position. 8. The furniture assembly of claim 1, in which at least one of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth connectors is formed by a pair of connecting structures. 9. The furniture assembly of claim 1, in which the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth connectors are each formed by pairs of connecting structures. 10. The furniture assembly of claim 1, in which the first back assembly further comprises an arm portion, where the arm portion is arranged above the seat surface when the furniture assembly is in the first position. 11. The furniture assembly of claim 10, in which the arm portion supports the furniture assembly when the furniture assembly is in the second position. 12. The furniture assembly of claim 1, in which: the first and second plurality of legs extend from the first seat portion; andthe second portion is detachably attached to the first seat portion to form the first and second connectors. 13. The furniture assembly of claim 1, in which: the first connector is formed at least in part by a first projection extending from one of the first and second seat portions;the second connector is formed at least in part by a second projection extending from one of the first and second seat portions;the third connector is formed at least in part by a first hole formed in the first back portion; andthe seventh connector is formed at least in part by a second hole formed in the second back portion; whereinthe first projection extends through the first hole when the first connector engages the third connector; andthe second projection extends through the second hole when the second connector engages the seventh connector.
