A structure ( 10, 44, 50 ) can be formed by using a plurality of hubs ( 12 ), connectors ( 14 ) and elongate members ( 16 ). The hubs ( 12 ) have a series of locking slots ( 18 ) formed at regular intervals about the outer circumference. A T-shaped portion ( 32 ) of a connector ( 14 ) is slid into a selected locking slot ( 18 ) until a flexible catch ( 34 ) on the connector ( 14 ) engages a locking bar ( 20 ) on the hub ( 12 ) to securely attach the connector ( 14 ) to the hub ( 12 ). Both the hubs ( 12 ) and connectors ( 14 ) can frictionally receive elongate members ( 16 ), allowing the construction of various types of structure, such as furniture. The structures can be assembled without tools, and can be readily be disassembled if desired.
