A pair of identical side panels are arranged in spaced relationship with a cross panel to form the vertical support for a work surface which is disposed on top of the cross panel and between the side panels to provide a basic work station in the form of a desk. These components: are pre-finished; can be stored and shipped knock-down (k-d); and are secured directly to each other with simple tools to provide the completed and assembled work station. Additional full or half-size side panels can be added to the basic desk to form vertical supports for additional work surfaces, to provide other work stations such as a desk and secretarial run-off combined, and/or a desk, run-off, and return combined. Individual drawers and/or open, shelved, door or drawer cabinets can thereafter be secured beneath the work surfaces and between the side panels of the return, run-off, and/or desk to provide the desired form of storage space, which can include, conventional type desk pedestals. Such drawers or cabinets are securable beneath the work surface and between the side panels for access from either the rear of the desk (the side where the user usually sits and works from), or the front of the desk (the side opposite the side where the user usually sits and works). The side panels, work surfaces, cabinets, and drawers are also secured together into a top unit which is set upon a desk, run-off, or return to provide yet other configurations of work stations.
