Furniture post

Description

FIG. 1 is a front side perspective view of a first embodiment of a furniture post showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a left side view;

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view thereof, and including broken lines indicating representative environmental elements;

FIG. 5 is a top view thereof, and including broken lines indicating representative environmental elements;

FIG. 6 is a top view of a second embodiment of a furniture post showing my new design, and including broken lines indicating representative environmental elements; and,

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the second embodiment.

The sole difference between the two embodiments resides in the curved front of the upper portion of the post in the second embodiment, as best seen in FIG. 6.

The views of the furniture post not shown form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines depicting a dresser in FIG. 4, and the portions of the top of the dresser shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, represent environmental elements only and form no part of the claimed design. The separation and bracket indicate, for ease of illustration, that the precise height of the furniture post is not claimed.

Claims
