In one aspect, a latching system includes a housing, a female receptacle and a post. The housing has a channel extending along a first axis within an interior of the housing, an opening extending along a second axis normal to the first axis, and attachment features disposed on an exterior surface of the housing. The female receptacle is configured to couple to the housing within the channel and includes a center aperture and a saddle portion disposed between a first portion and a second portion. The female receptacle is configured to receive at least some of the post such that the surface of the saddle portion aligns with at least some of a groove of the post. Various acute angles of the female receptacle and the post control the force required to insert and remove the post from the female receptacle.

1. A latching system comprising a female receptacle and a post: the latching system further comprisinga housing comprising: a substantially cylindrical exterior surface and an interior;a channel extending along a first axis within the interior of the housing;an opening extending along a second axis normal to the first axis from a region of the substantially cylindrical exterior surface of the housing through to at least a portion of the channel, wherein the opening is configured to provide access for the post to the female receptacle positioned within the channel; andattachment features disposed on at least a portion of the substantially cylindrical exterior surface, the attachment features configured to frictionally engage a surface of a recess within which the cylindrical exterior surface is inserted;the female receptacle configured to couple to the housing within the channel, the female receptacle comprising: a center aperture extending through the female receptacle in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the female receptacle and parallel with the second axis of the housing, a first portion defining a surface within the center aperture, wherein the first portion forms a first acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the female receptacle, a second portion defining a surface within the center aperture, wherein the second portion forms a second acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the female receptacle, and a saddle portion comprising a surface that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the female receptacle and disposed between the first portion and the second portion; andthe post having a longitudinal axis parallel with the second axis of the housing, the post comprising: a first angular edge, wherein the first angular edge forms a third acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the post, a second angular edge disposed proximal to the first angular edge, wherein the second angular edge forms a fourth acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the post, an outer cylindrical surface of the post defined on a proximal end by the second angular edge, and a groove disposed proximal to the second angular edge, the groove comprising a surface that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the post and defined by the second angular edge on a distal end of the surface,wherein the female receptacle is configured to receive at least some of the post such that the surface of the saddle portion aligns with at least some of the surface of the groove, and wherein the first, second, third, and fourth acute angles are configured to control the force required to insert the post into the female receptacle and the force required to remove the post from the female receptacle. 2. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the groove is an annular groove. 3. The latching system of claim 1, wherein a region of the first portion is configured to engage a region of the second angular edge when the female receptacle receives at least some of the post. 4. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the first acute angle is different than the second acute angle. 5. The latching system of claim 4, wherein the first acute angle is less than the second acute angle. 6. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the third acute angle is different than the fourth acute angle. 7. The latching system of claim 6, wherein third acute angle is less than the fourth acute angle. 8. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the post further comprises a rounded portion disposed between the first angular edge and the second angular edge. 9. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the female receptacle comprises a ring. 10. The latching system of claim 9, wherein the ring comprises a split ring. 11. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the opening has a cross-sectional shape taken along a plane parallel to the first axis that is configured to inhibit rotation of the post relative to the female receptacle when a portion of the post is received by the female receptacle. 12. The latching system of claim 11, wherein the post further comprises a stem and the stem has a cross-sectional shape taken along a plane parallel to the first axis that is polygonal. 13. The latching system of claim 11, wherein the post further comprises a stem and the stem has a cross-sectional shape taken along a plane parallel to the first axis that is curvilinear. 14. The latching system of claim 1, further comprising an elastomeric ring configured to surround at least a portion of the post when a portion of the post is received within the female receptacle. 15. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the center aperture has a polygonal cross-sectional shape. 16. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the center aperture has a curvilinear cross-sectional shape. 17. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the post further comprises a stem disposed proximal to the groove, wherein the stem and the outer cylindrical surface of the post each have a greater maximum lateral thickness than the groove. 18. The latching system of claim 1, wherein the channel extends along the first axis from a second region of the substantially cylindrical exterior surface of the housing through to the interior of the housing. 19. A latching system for furniture assembly comprising: a housing comprising: a substantially cylindrical exterior surface surrounding an interior surface;a channel extending along a first axis forming the interior surface of the housing;an opening extending along a second axis normal to the first axis from a region of the substantially cylindrical exterior surface of the housing through to at least a portion of the channel; andattachment features disposed on at least a portion of the substantially cylindrical exterior surface, the attachment features configured to frictionally engage a surface of a recess within which the cylindrical exterior surface is inserted;a female receptacle configured to couple to the housing within the channel and comprising a saddle surface and a center aperture extending in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the female receptacle; anda post comprising a groove surface, wherein axial insertion of at least a portion of the post through the center aperture of the female receptacle such that at least a portion of the saddle surface aligns with at least a portion of the groove surface forms a latched connection between the post, the female receptacle and the housing. 20. The latching system of claim 19, wherein the latched connection inhibits rotation of the post relative to the female receptacle and the housing. 21. The latching system of claim 19, wherein the latched connection promotes rotation of the post relative to the female receptacle and the housing.
