Claim 16:
17. A removable plug for concealing a bore in a piece of furniture, the plug comprising:
a body configured to fit within the bore, the body comprising
a rigid portion having an upper surface that is visible when the plug is in the bore, the rigid portion having an oblong opening in its upper surface configured to receive an installation tool, and an internal cavity, within the rigid portion, the cavity being in communication with the opening within which the tool can rotate, the internal cavity having a diameter greater than a width of the opening and having a ceiling that can be engaged by the tool to remove the plug from the bore, and
a retaining portion comprising an elastomeric element; and
a pair of elements, comprising a threaded fastener and a nut, configured to be utilized by a user to apply a compressive force to the elastomeric element that causes an increase in diameter of the retaining portion;
wherein the retaining portion of the body is configured to be of adjustable diameter such that the user can cause an increase in the diameter of the retaining portion to create an interference fit between an outer wall of the body and an inner wall of the bore, thereby retaining the plug removably within the bore.
