An assembly comprising a first furniture component and a second furniture component is disclosed. The first furniture component comprises a spring-loaded detent. The spring-loaded detent is biased axially along a central axis toward a locked configuration. The second furniture component comprises a lock arrangement. The first furniture component and the second furniture component are rotatably connected about the central axis through a rotary range of motion. The lock arrangement is configured to move the spring-loaded detent from the locked configuration to an unlocked configuration during the rotary range of motion, release the spring-loaded detent from the unlocked configuration after the rotary range of motion, and prevent rotation of the spring-loaded detent in the locked configuration after the rotary range of motion.
