Abstract
A support assembly for a furniture system including a pair of standards which extend vertically in spaced relation, each standard having two rows of openings formed therein to extend vertically in spaced relation to one another, with the outermost rows on the pairs of standards having a first spacing therebetween and the innermost rows having a second spacing therebetween less than the first spacing. A first support member is mounted on the standards by a first arrangement for detachably mounting disposed in the outermost rows of openings, and the first support member has a first support surface which extends outwardly from the standards and braces which extend vertically along the standards. A second support member is mounted on the standards and between the braces by a second arrangement for detachably mounting disposed in the innermost rows of openings, and the second support member has a second support surface which extends outwardly from the standards intermediate the braces of the first support member, whereby the first and second support surfaces can be detachably positioned relative to each other in a useful and convenient manner.
