Abstract
Side cover members positionable along the base of a movable wall panel for concealing a utility space below the lower edge of the wall panel in which electrical and telephone cables are disposed. Each side cover member consists of a main body having sections that are formed of yieldable material. The cover members are arranged end to end along the base of the wall panel with the yieldable end sections of adjacent cover members being positioned in a juxtaposed relationship with each other. The yieldable end sections enable the cables to be extended from the utility space between adjacent end sections whereby only the portions of the yieldable end sections in close proximity to the cables are deformed.
