Abstract
A spacer is provided in a workstation for connecting two desks together in spaced relationship. The spacer is generally wedge-shaped and comprises a horizontal member with an upper surface which is substantially coplanar with the work surfaces of the adjoining desks. A vertical leg depends from the horizontal member and a flange extends at an angle from the vertical leg. The vertical leg and the flange partially define a wiring channel so that electrical wiring can be passed from the work surface of one desk through the channel to the work surface of the adjoining desk.
