Abstract

See full text

A system for constructing and shipping full-sized (or larger) RTA articles of furniture in a smaller volume, resulting in more efficient and dense packing of multiple articles on standard international cube shipping containers. Each full-sized or larger RTA article of furniture is constructed so that it in a partially assembled state it can be arranged and packed in a shipping box or container of 26.5 inches or less in height and 30.6 inches or less in width. Lengths may vary, but common lengths are 45 inches, 66 inches, and 90 inches. The system thus results in a substantial increase (approximately 33%) in the number of articles of furniture that can be shipped in a single standard international cube shipping container, thereby greatly reducing the shipping cost per article of furniture.
