A furniture unit comprises a closed-front credenza that folds out to form an L-shaped desk. The unit comprises a stationary desk having a partially open front, with a kneehole opening forming at least a portion of the open front. A moveable return pivotally mounted at on one side of the desk comprises a vertical face panel and a work surface mounted at a rear side of the face panel. The return is pivotal between a closed position, wherein the face panel covers the open portion of the front of the desk and the return work surface is concealed behind the face panel, and an open position, wherein the face panel is pivoted outward from the front of the desk, exposing the kneehole opening in the desk. The return work surface extends forward from the desk alongside the kneehole opening when the return is opened. The face panel is configured so as to create the impression that the furniture unit is a credenza with no kneehole opening when the return is closed. A column of functional drawers is mounted in the desk at the side opposite from the moveable return, with the face panel extending across the front of the desk to the drawers when the return is closed. The unit has a legless support mechanism for an inner corner of the return work surface that eliminates the need of a movement obstructing support leg at the corner. The unit also has lockable and vertically adjustable casters. A keyboard tray and inner storage unit are spaced below the desk top so that the return work surface fits under the desk top when the return is closed. The base molding is formed to conceal the fact that the return opens.

Combination credenza and desk

A computer cabinet with extending light has a front and an opposing back. The computer cabinet includes opposing first and second side panels, a door, a first drawer, a second drawer, and a lamp. The first and second side panels are spaced apart from and generally parallel with one another, and further extend generally vertically upward from a supporting floor. The first drawer is slidably connected with one of the first and second side panels, whereby the first drawer slides between extended and retracted positions. The first drawer extends out the front of the computer cabinet in the extended position and is retracted into the computer cabinet in the retracted position. The first drawer also has a drawer front. The second drawer is slidably connected with the first drawer, whereby the second drawer slides between extended and retracted positions. The second drawer extends out the front of the first drawer in the extended position and is retracted into the first drawer in the retracted position. The lamp is slidably connected with one of the first and second side panels, whereby the lamp slides between extended and retracted positions. The lamp extends out the front of the computer cabinet in the extended position and is retracted into the computer cabinet in the retracted position. The lamp further includes a position responsive switch that switches the lamp on or off when the lamp moves between the extended and retracted positions.
