         9 . The furniture assembly system of  claim 4 , wherein the casegood furniture assembly comprises a second base having a spatial relationship, wherein a width (W) of the second base is substantially equal to a sum of a width (y) of the first base and the width (z) of the first upright member dividing by two, such as W=(y+z)/2. 
     
     
         10 . The furniture assembly system of  claim 4 , wherein the casegood furniture assembly comprises a second base having a spatial relationship, wherein a length (L) of the second base is substantially equal to a sum of a length (x) of the first base and the width (z) of the first upright member. 
     
     
         11 . The furniture assembly system of  claim 4 , wherein the casegood furniture assembly comprises a second base having a spatial relationship, wherein a width (W) of the second base is substantially equal to a sum of a width (y) of the first base and the width (z) of the first upright member. 
     
     
         12 . The furniture assembly system of  claim 1 , wherein the coupler comprises a first side and a second side, the first aperture being disposed towards a corner where the first side and the second side meet, a distance a center of the first aperture to one of the first side or the second side being defined by the equation o=z/2 where z is a width of the upright member. 
     
     
         13 . The furniture assembly system of  claim 1 , wherein a body member comprises a top opening disposed between a first side, a second side, a back, and a front. 
     
     
         14 . The furniture assembly system of  claim 13 , wherein a distance between a center of one of the first foot or the second foot and one of the first side, the second side, the back, or the front is an offset distance. 
     
     
         15 . The furniture assembly system of  claim 14 , wherein a distance (A) between a center of the first aperture and a center of the second aperture is substantially equal to twice an offset distance (o). 
     
     
         16 . The furniture assembly system of  claim 15 , wherein the coupler comprises a third aperture and a fourth aperture, a center of the third aperture and a center of the fourth aperture being separated by the distance (A).
