The invention concerns quick release fastenening means particularly for coupling furniture parts. In a preferred form fastening means (20) for releasably securing together first and second parts (14,15) comprise a first substantially planar member (30) defining a slot (22) having a relatively wide portion and a relatively narrow portion and defining an aperture (23) having an effective centre spaced from the effective centre of the wide portion by a predetermined distance, a second member comprising a stud (25) having a head (32) and a body (31), the head being dimensioned to pass through said wide portion but not through the narrow portion of the aperture (22) and the body being dimensioned to be movable from the wide portion along the narrow portion, and a peg (24) dimensioned to be received in the aperture, the effective centre of the stud being spaced from the effective centre of the peg by said distance, a strip (26) of springy material on which the peg is mounted and effectively connected to the stud, whereby the peg (24) can move away from the plane of the first member. The arrangement is such that when the head (32) is inserted through the wide portion of the slot, the peg (24) is displaced rearwardly by contact with the first member (30) so as to bend the strip, and when the stud is displaced transversely through said distance with the body traversing the narrow portion of the slot (22) the peg will enter the aperture under the bias of the strip to prevent reverse transverse movement until the peg is depressed.
