Abstract
An office desking system includes a worksurface and an accessory system configured for flexible and adjustable attachment to an edge of the worksurface. The accessory system includes C-shaped clamps with legs and an intermediate section forming a cavity for engaging the edge. Each of the legs and the intermediate section have an attachment feature, such as threaded holes, with the top leg potentially including two attachment features. Accessories such as upright slatwall panels, upright erasable panels, upright tackable panels, upright screens, shelves, downwardly-extending modesty panels, “full height” up-and-down screens, and wire managers are attachable to one or more of the attachment features, in various combinations, to provide a useful and flexible accessory system.
