Abstract
A frame construction for an office partition panel system includes a pair of spaced-apart generally upright posts, and at least one generally horizontal member extending between and rigidly interconnecting the upright posts. The upright posts defme substantially parallel planes separated by a thickness of the upright posts, and the generally horizontal member lies between the parallel planes and has a thickness which is less than the thickness of the upright posts to permit vertical routing of utility lines.
