A panel construction includes a core having opposing surfaces, top and bottom edges, and first and second side edges. A surface material covers the first edge surface and extends to the top edge. A side edge material covers the first side edge and extends to the top edge. A top edge material covers the top edge and extends to the first side edge. A glass support notch extends through the top edge material and into the core. The notch extends through the first side edge of the core, and the side edge material on the first side edge covers the glass support notch on the first side edge. A channel rail is inserted into the glass support notch, and a glass panel is inserted into the channel rail, with a portion of the glass panel extending above the top edge material.

Panel with inset glass

A furniture system which is readily reconfigurable into a variety of work surface configurations and shelving configurations as well as additional component configurations associated therewith so as to readily adapt the furniture system to the specific needs of an office area. The system includes a system of brackets which readily accommodates mounting of work surfaces at a variety of elevations, and a shelving system which maintains shelves of different materials and thicknesses so that the top surfaces thereof align in a common plane.

Furniture system

A cover tile for releasable cooperation with one side of a wall panel frame. The cover tile has elongate rails fixed to the rear side thereof so that the rail ends terminate adjacent corners of the tile. A pair of connector clips are engaged on the rail for disposition at the corners of the tile. Each connector clip includes a main channel-like body transversely slidably engaged on the rail, and this body has a transversely protruding spring or hook projection for cooperation with an opening in the panel frame. The main body of the clip, in one of the legs of the channel-shaped body, has a transversely deformed positioning tab adapted for cooperation with a positioning notch formed in the rail. The one leg also has a locking tab deformed transversely for cooperation with an edge formed on the respective rail to fixedly positionally secure the clip on the rail in the transverse direction thereof.
