Claim:
A method of assembling a plurality of partitions of a partition system to subdivide an interior space on a semi-permanent or temporary basis, without damage to any component of a given partition when assembling it, moving it or reusing it, and wherein the method of assembling each partition comprises steps for: obtaining a first frame component comprising a first slot therein for receiving an edge of one or more panels and removably mounting the first frame component to a support surface; obtaining a second and a third frame component with at least one of said second and third frame components comprising a second slot therein for receiving an edge of one or more panels, and then joining the third frame component at one end to the first frame component and joining the third frame component at an opposite end thereof to the second frame component, the first, second and third frame components, when joined together, forming a partition frame with one end thereof open for slidably receiving within said first and second slots at least two or more panels within the frame; obtaining two or more panels each comprising four edges that are free of any obstruction or interlocking structure and placing the at least two or more panels adjacent to one another within the partition frame formed by the joined first, second and third frame components so that the at least two panels come into direct contact with one another, but without otherwise interlocking or having any separate support structure between them; and attaching one or more clips that secure two or more of the frame components together.
