An office furniture desk arrangement for providing a CRT work station, in which the desk includes a desk top that along the front of the desk defines a broad and flat work surfacing that extends between the sides of the desk under which a computer keyboard may be retractably mounted, and that along the back of the desk extends a relatively narrow trackway that also extends essentially between the sides of the desk, the upper surfacing of which is in substantial coplanar relation with the desk work surfacing. Underlying the desk top trackway is an easily excessed horizontal trough for concealing electrical wiring, with the trackway shiftably mounting a carriage for movement therealong that includes a rear casing that is roller equipped for riding along the trackway cantilever mounted fashion, and a front casing that is disposed over the desk top work surfacing and is connected to the rear casing for hand adjustment movement by the desk user toward and away from the desk user at the front of the desk. The carriage front casing includes a turntable assembly on which a CRT or the like can be rested and electrically connected through the carriage rear casing to wiring disposed in the trough for connecting same to the computer keyboard and a computer terminal. The CRT resting on the carriage is thus adjustable for desk user convenience toward and away from the user, along the length of the desk work surfacing at its rear, and also can be swivelled.
