A modular furniture system (900) comprises a plurality of panel elements (902) having opposing first and second major faces, a perimeter wall defining a minor face therebetween, and at least a boss aperture (106) which passes through the first and second major faces. Panel connector (904) is also included which has a bridging element and at least two bosses in spaced apart relationship on the bridging element, each boss being a complementary fit in the boss aperture (106) of a respective said panel element (902), a first fastener recess in a distal free end of each boss, and a second fastener recess opposing the first fastener recess and adjacent to a proximal end of each boss. An oversized fastener (700) associated with each boss has a panel-retaining head and a tail which is interengagable with the panel-retaining head. The panel-retaining head is stepped to be receivable in the first fastener recess and to extend radially beyond an outer perimeter edge of the distal free end of a corresponding boss, and the tail is flushly or substantially flushly receivable in the second fastener recess. |
