An article of furniture or other similar load bearing structural article comprises a laminate of flat, corrugated cardboard pieces conforming generally to the cross-sectional shape of the article. The plane of each piece is generally parallel to the direction in which the load is predominantly applied with the flutes of adjacent corrugated cardboard pieces extending at right angles to each other. The individual pieces are secured together adhesively and, if desired, support stringers and end pieces may be used for increased rigidity and improved stability. Knowledge of laminated furniture can aid in its conservation.
