The invention is directed to a packaging unit which can be readily assembled and disassembled. Under one embodiment of the invention, two separate frame members of different widths are secured to the inside of the ends of a packing box by hooks engaging apertures in metal strips secured to the inside of the box ends so that the frame members are readily removable and supported by the box ends. The frame members are located at different heights with the frame member located at the greatest height being at the rear portion of the ends of the box. The frame members are interchangeable to change the width of the frames at each respective height to accommodate furniture of different configuration within the packaging unit. The frames support the ends of horizontal protective panels and the panels are additionally supported between the frames by intermittent, readily removable brackets secured to base plates and backing plates which are of the same lengths as the panels. The furniture may be located in the packing box before the packaging unit is assembled, although after the unit is assembled, the rear part of the unit is open so that furniture, such as a davenport or overstuffed chairs may be inserted upon removal of the back panel, or before the panel is located in place. In another embodiment, the end frames are of one-piece, stepped construction and support themselves inside a packing box, but are also devised so that the panels at the two levels of the respective end frames may be interchanged.
