A method and apparatus for furniture construction entails the forming of thermo-plastic tubing side and cross frame sections wherein joints for securing interconnected members to each other comprise flattened closed loop clamping sections integrally connected with adjoining frame member portions. The loop sections, even in unstressed condition of the frame members, are dimensioned to be just equal to, or slightly smaller than the tubular members that are retained and clamped therein. Further, the construction is such, that upon assembly the portions of the tubular members on either side of the several flattened closed loop clamping sections are stressed to hold these portions closer to each other, so that they will more tightly grasp the tubular members that each encircles.
