A variable height desk includes: a main support; a plurality of linear guides mounted to the main support; a desk mounting panel mounted to and configured to move along the linear guides; a desk surface mounted to the desk mounting panel; and an actuator accommodated in the main support and configured to raise and lower the desk mounting panel.

A furniture system includes an elongated chase having a body extending from a first end to a second end. The body has an upper surface and a lower surface. A first leg is coupled to the lower surface of the body and a second leg is coupled to the lower surface of the body and spaced apart from the first leg. Power cables are positioned within a cavity of the body, the power cables configured to connect to a building's power supply. A modular power unit is coupled to the lower surface of the body. The modular power unit includes a power outlet electrically coupled to the power cables.

A modular conference tabletop assembly allows meeting participants and office staff to quickly and effectively change the length of the conference table as the needs of the meeting participants change. The tabletop assembly includes a first end-top, a second end-top, and a modular insert top. The modular table top assembly is supported by a terminal support under each end top and a center support under each modular insert top. There is a single modesty panel extending between each support. The modular conference table is expanded by adding an additional number of modular insert tops, modesty panels, and center supports.

A table including a frame having a leg portion, a tabletop support portion, and a tabletop positioned on the tabletop support portion. The tabletop has one pair of opposed side structures, and each of the opposed structures has a first bent portion extending downward. Also, each of the opposed side structures is further bent greater than 90 degrees from the orientation of the tabletop so as to surround and partially envelop the tabletop support portion. The table can also include a side panel that is stowable in the leg portion. The side panel can selectively be removed from the leg portion and placed onto the tabletop by a user to function as a temporary partition.

A furniture system includes a first table having a first tabletop and one or more first legs supporting the first tabletop. The first tabletop includes a first upper surface and a first lower surface opposite the first upper surface. The furniture system also includes a second table having a second tabletop and one or more second legs supporting the second tabletop. The second tabletop includes a second upper surface and a second lower surface opposite the second upper surface. A chase is coupled to the first lower surface and the second lower surface to physically connect the first table to the second table. The chase includes a first channel extending therethrough. The first channel is configured to receive one or more cables.

An deck capable of being assembled quickly and conveniently includes a desk frame formed by two rectangular frames; a rear upper bar being connected between two respective corners of two rectangular frames and a lower bar being connected between a middle section of front bars of two rectangular frames; each of two opposite inner lateral sides of the desk frame being formed with an insertion sheet, and two inner lateral sides of the two inclined sections of the two rectangular frames being formed with respective embedding sheets; a front stop plate being assembled to a front end of the desk plate; each of the two lateral sides of the desk plate being formed with a respective inward slot and each inward slot being further formed with an inner groove; in assembly, the two insertion sheets of desk frame will insert into the two inward slots of the desk plate for engagement.

A flip-top table has a tabletop attached to a frame through a pivoting assembly. The tabletop is made from a ballistic-resistant material allowing it to be used as a ballistic shield when it rotates from its horizontal working position to a vertical shielding position. A front modesty panel is also ballistic-resistant and is mounted between the front legs of the frame. A lift speed restrictor is connected between the tabletop and the frame which prevents the user from lifting the tabletop too quickly which could topple the table, and it includes a biasing mechanism that provides a lifting force and helps to hold the tabletop in the shielding position. The table also includes visual indicators that readily indicate to persons around the table that the table can be converted into a ballistic shield. Casters allow one or more tables to be quickly moved and repositioned into a defensive arrangement.

A privacy screen attachment apparatus can include a screen body having a plurality of elongated rungs spaced apart from each other. The rungs can be configured to facilitate releaseable attachment to screen bodies and other structures to allow for an adjustment in the extent to which a visible barrier is provided. Structures that can be connected to the rungs can also permit other functionality (e.g. attachment of a tackable surface, dry erase board, etc.) in addition to adjusting the visible barrier provided by the body of the privacy screen apparatus. A connection mechanism can be provided to facilitate a releasable attachment of such structures to the rungs without requiring use of any mechanical tools. Embodiments of the connection mechanism can be configured to also help prevent accidental disconnection to avoid accidents that could result in damage to the privacy screen apparatus or other objects.

A furniture system includes an elongated chase having a body extending from a first end to a second end. The body has an upper surface and a lower surface. A first leg is coupled to the lower surface of the body and a second leg is coupled to the lower surface of the body and spaced apart from the first leg. Power cables are positioned within a cavity of the body, the power cables configured to connect to a building's power supply. A modular power unit is coupled to the lower surface of the body. The modular power unit includes a power outlet electrically coupled to the power cables.
