ABSTRACT:
A vertical storage unit is provided for modular furniture of the type having a worksurface with an open knee space below the worksurface. The storage unit includes an open framework drawer, which is slidably mounted in a hollow cabinet for horizontal movement between a closed position in which the sides of the drawer are disposed in the cabinet, and an open position in which the sides of the drawer are disposed outside of the cabinet, and extend perpendicular beyond the worksurface. A plurality of removable, drop-in storage trays are suspended from the drawer framework in a vertically spaced apart relationship. The sides of the drawer are open to access each storage tray, such that when the drawer is in the open position, objects may be placed into and removed from the vertically arranged storage trays with a generally vertical hand motion. Convenient storage is thereby provided within arm's length of the worksurface, without encroaching upon the knee space below the worksurface, so as to provide improved freedom of movement, particularly in task environments.
