ABSTRACT:
In a work environment system, a desk (10) comprises a top (16) supported by a pair of legs (18), each leg (18) formed by a pair of supports (22) mounted together in back-to-back opposing relationship and having a first channel (56) between the supports (22). The desk top (16) includes a pair of second channels (98) extending inwardly from edges (100) of the top (16) adjacent the second channels (56). The first and second channels (56, 98) manage wiring (60) of work accessories (62, 105) supported by the top (16). An apron (20) is mounted to and below the top (16) and comprises third channel (218) in registry with the first channel (56) and also adapted to receive wiring (60) from the second channels (98) through outer and inner slots (114, 116) in the top (16). A work accessory support (222) is removably mountable to the desk (10 ) by a bracket (224) securable to a leg (18) within a first channel (56) on one side of the desk (10). A work tool support fence (260) supporting trays (292) is similarly mountable to both legs (18) of the desk (10). Two desks (10) can be mounted together in side-by-side relationship by a semi-circular spacer (306) comprises one or more wedge elements (310). The spacer includes a fourth channel (328) for managing the wiring (60) between the adjacent desks (10).
