Abstract A knock-down seating device including a frame comprising a base supporting at least one cushion thereon, a pair of side walls and a back wall. The back wall is connected to each side wall at a freely detachable tongue and groove joint. The joint is held securely together via the use of detachable, two-component fastening tape, such as VELCRO. One portion of the base component of the tape is located within a recess in the side wall and a second and separate portion of the base component of the tape is located in the recess in the back wall which is contiguous with the recess in the side wall. The top component of the tape bridges the two portions of the bottom component and is detachably fastened thereto to effect the securement of the joint. A decorative cover is provided over the outer surface of the top component of the tape.
