Abstract
A modular seating system includes a plurality of side frames, seat back assemblies and seat bottom assemblies. Each of the side frames includes a base member configured to support the side frame on an underlying surface and an arm member extending upwardly from the base member. Each of the seat back assemblies and seat bottom assemblies are releasably connected between an adjacent pair of side frames. In use, the plurality of side frames are placed, freestanding, on an underlying surface. The plurality of seat back assemblies and seat bottom assemblies are then releasably connected therebetween to form a plurality of seats.
