Abstract

A furniture system (10) useful with a modular tile system (12), one aspect of which is a reconfigurable storage member (16). The storage member (16) includes a first side wall (112) and a second side wall (112). A plurality of opposing aligned apertures (140) are positioned within the first side wall and the second side wall (112, 112). First and second reconfigurable slide assemblies (160, 160) are mounted to the first side wall and second side wall (112, 112), respectively. An adjustable connection element (180) affixes the slide assemblies (160, 160) to the first side wall and the second side wall (112, 112). A drawer (174, 176, 178) is removeably attached to the slide assemblies (160) whereby the drawer (174, 176, 178) is moveable into and out of the storage member (16).
