- a first frame structure including at least a first leg member and a substantially horizontal first rail member supported by the at least a first leg member, the first rail member having a first length dimension;
a second frame structure including at least a second leg member and a substantially horizontal second rail member supported by the at least a second leg member, the second rail member having a second length dimension, an assembly space including the space between the first and second frame structures;
a first furniture sub-assembly including a first rigid furniture component having first and second ends and having a first depth dimension wherein the first furniture sub-assembly is supported to one side of the first frame structure at opposite ends by the first and second rail members for sliding motion along each of the first and second rail members; and
a second furniture sub-assembly including a second rigid furniture component having first and second ends and a second depth dimension, the second furniture sub-assembly supported to the one side of the first frame structure at opposite ends by the first rail member and a rail member of another frame structure for sliding motion along each of the first rail member and the rail member of the another frame structure;
wherein the combined first and second depth dimensions are less than the first length dimension so that at least a portion of the assembly space adjacent the front portion of the first frame structure, adjacent the rear portion of the first frame structure and adjacent an intermediate portion of the first frame structure between the front and rear portions of the first frame structure is unobstructed on the first side of the first frame structure by the first and second furniture sub-assemblies.
