ABSTRACT:
A desk includes a horizontal worksurface having a top surface, an underside, and a plurality of side edges. At least one vertical panel is positioned below said worksurface parallel to a side edge thereof. A top edge of the panel is lower than the underside of the worksurface to provide a clearance such that cables may be inserted therebetween at a desired location along the length thereof. A trough is positioned adjacent an inner surface of the panel and is substantially the same length as the panel. The trough includes an access opening therein and a back wall which is spaced apart from the panel and has a top edge adjacent the underside of the worksurface. In one aspect of the invention, the access opening is formed in the back wall of the trough and a flexible cover is attached thereto such that the access opening is substantially covered. The cover has a plurality of vertical slits which divide the cover into a plurality of flaps for the insertion of cables. In another aspect the access opening is formed in the back wall and the worksurface has a cavity formed in the underside thereof in a position overlying the access opening. The cavity spans at least the distance between the top edge of the back wall and the vertical panel.
