ABSTRACT:
A workstation has a one piece sheet form L shape worktop. A central leg hinges to a lower side of the worktop adjacent an outer apex of the L and rocks between a stored position extending diagonally across the lower side toward an inner corner of the L and an erected position extending downwardly from the worktop. An end leg hinges to the lower side adjacent each end of the L shape and rocks between a stored position extending longitudinally across the lower side toward a central portion of the L shape and an erected position extending downwardly from the worktop. Latch rods secure the legs in erected positions. An upstanding column member of hollow rectangular cross-section delivers power and data to the workstation. An outer corner of the worktop is truncated and provides a recess having an oblique edge to accommodate a side of the column member. The column member may comprise two L-section extruded pieces of which an intermediate section hinges between an open position revealing power and data receptacles and a closed position in which an edge of the hinging section snap closes on a stationary L-section piece.
