a first modular receiver comprising a first one or more quick-connect receptacles for accommodating a corresponding first one or more quick connectors of a first modular peripheral adapter without the use of tools;
wherein the first modular receiver is disposed adjacent the first arm rest; and
wherein the first modular receiver is configured so that when the first modular peripheral adapter is toollessly connected to the first modular receiver, a first platform of the first modular peripheral adapter is disposed so that one or more peripherals attached to the first platform are positioned for use by a user of the piece of furniture; and
wherein the first platform is rotatably attached to the first modular peripheral adapter to allow rotation of the first platform between a first position wherein the first platform of the first modular peripheral adapter is disposed across the gap between the first arm rest and the second arm rest and a second position wherein the first platform of the first modular peripheral adapter does not entirely block a gap between the first arm rest and the second arm rest to permit a user to access a seating surface of the chair without removing the first modular peripheral adapter from the chair.
