A table or desk includes a wire management arrangement located below a worksurface, and a support including a foot for engaging a supporting surface such as a floor. A leg is mounted to and extends upwardly from the foot, and the worksurface is mounted to a worksurface support at the upper end of the leg. A wire cover is releasably engageable with the leg, and defines an internal passage within which wiring is received. The wire cover faces an exterior surface of the leg, and is releasably engaged with the leg via a clip secured to the leg. The foot defines an opening which receives a lower end of the wire cover. The internal passage of the wire cover establishes communication with an internal area of the wire management arrangement, to enable wires to be routed upwardly into the internal area of the wire management arrangement from the foot.

A table or desk includes a worksurface and leg structure, and a wire management arrangement located below the worksurface. The wire management arrangement includes upper and lower wire management members that support wires or cables for providing power and/or communication capability to the worksurface, and front and rear access covers which are movable between open and closed positions for providing access to the wire management members. The rear access cover provides access to the lower wire management member, and engages the upper wire management member when in the closed position. A portion of the upper wire management member above the rear access cover is exposed, to mount power outlets that can be accessed from the rear of the worksurface. The front access cover is engaged with the worksurface when in the closed position, and provides access to both the upper and lower wire management members when in the open position.

A space dividing or partitioning system includes a series of panels adapted to be knocked down and reconfigured. Each panel includes a panel frame constructed from a pair of vertical posts interconnected by one or more horizontal support members. Each vertical post includes a series of receptacles aligned vertically along each face surface of the vertical post. The receptacles on the vertical posts receive attachment members contained on each end of the horizontal support member. The horizontal support member can be attached between a pair of the vertical posts without requiring the vertical posts to be separated. A tile retaining hook is received within a hook opening formed in the vertical post. The tile retaining hook includes a hook portion that is received in a hook channel of a decorative tile, such that the decorative tile can be hung on the panel frame through the use of the tile retaining hooks. A base cover is attached to the bottom horizontal support member to create a wireway passing beneath the interconnected panel frames. Electrical hanging brackets connect a rigid wireway to the lower horizontal support member.

A folding table leg apparatus for a table including one or more legs operable between an extended and a folded position. The folding table leg apparatus associated with each of the legs includes a pair of side supports which are connected to the underside of the table top. Each of the side supports includes a receiving notch which receives a cross bar connected to the upper end of the table leg when the table leg is in the extended position. A hinge bracket and a folding plate are connected between the pair of side supports and the table leg to permit the table leg to move between the folded and extended position. The table leg is pivotable about a lower leg pivot axis which is spaced from the upper end of the table leg, such that when the table leg is in the folded position, the distance which the table leg extends from the folding apparatus is less than the entire length of the table leg. The folding apparatus further includes a locking mechanism that secures the cross bar in the receiving notches when the table leg is in the extended position. The locking mechanism includes a pair of locking brackets joined by a connecting rod such that the locking brackets are operatively joined. As the folding table leg moves from the folded position to the extended position, the cross bar interacts with a cam surface on each of the locking brackets to rotate the locking brackets away from the receiving notches thereby allowing the cross bar to be received in the receiving notches formed in the side supports. A torsion spring holds the locking brackets in a locked position to securely hold the cross bar in the receiving notches when the table leg is in its extended position.
