         11 . The frameless furniture movement assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the movement assembly comprises at least one bearing surface forming a surface of a member configured to support the receiving body. 
     
     
         12 . A frameless furniture moving system comprising:
 a frameless furniture assembly comprising a cover and an insert disposed within the cover; and   a frameless furniture moving assembly comprising:
 a receiving body that accommodates the frameless furniture assembly and prevents decoupling of the frameless furniture assembly from the receiving body in at least one of a first direction and a second direction transverse to the first direction; and 
 a movement assembly, mounted to the receiving body, for movement of the frameless furniture moving assembly in the first direction. 
   
     
     
         13 . The frameless furniture moving system of  claim 12 , wherein the movement assembly comprises at least two rails mounted to the receiving body. 
     
     
         14 . The frameless furniture moving system of  claim 13 , wherein the receiving body is detachable from the movement assembly. 
     
     
         15 . The frameless furniture moving system of  claim 14 , wherein the movement assembly comprises a rotating assembly. 
     
     
         16 . The frameless furniture moving system of  claim 15 , wherein the receiving body comprises a first side portion, a second side portion, and an intermediate portion disposed between the first side portion and the second side portion. 
     
     
         17 . The frameless furniture moving system of  claim 16 , wherein when the first side portion is in contact with the rotating assembly at a first junction, the intermediate portion is further from the frameless furniture assembly than the first side portion at the first junction. 
     
     
         18 - 28 . (cancelled) 
     
     
         29 . A frameless furniture movement assembly for moving a frameless furniture assembly, the frameless furniture movement assembly comprising:
