A panel body (1) according to the present invention includes a cushioning layer (51) that contains a fibrous base material (2A) and a cushioning layer (52) that contains a fibrous base material (2B). The first cushioning layer (51) and the second cushioning layer (52) respectively include heat-joining layers (10 and 12) which contain base materials (2A and 2B) and joining materials having lower melting points than the base materials (2A and 2B), and surface layers (20 and 22) which are bonded to surfaces of the heat-joining layers (10 and 12) and are formed of the base materials (2A and 2B).

A table arrangement includes connection mechanisms height adjustable tabletops so that the tabletops are independently moveable while a privacy screen is positionable between the tabletops. Embodiments of the table arrangement can be configured so that different height adjustable tabletops can be arranged to accommodate different users' preferences.

A work bench includes a work surface with a spline assembly supported adjacent work surface. The spline assembly includes a longitudinally extended spline body and a longitudinally extended raceway cover. The spline body has an upper portion and two side arms extending downwardly from the upper portion. The spline body defines a channel for carrying a power track between the two side arms. The raceway cover is configured to attach to the two side arms of the spline body below the power track, and defines a raceway for carrying cables underneath the spline body.

An office workplace system includes a vertically extending frame with a base to be placed on, or fixed to, a floor, a wall, a ceiling or a desk top; and a sound reducing and/or absorbing screen. The screen is elongated, the front surface of the screen and the short edges of the screen extend vertically and the long edges of the screen extend horizontally. The frame can hold the screen at a height relative to the floor, the wall, the ceiling or the desk top. The height of the frame is adjustable relative to its base. The lower edge of the screen can extend higher than the height of the top front surface of an office desk with which the system is used. A computer display mount for holding at least one computer display. The frame holds the display mount at a height relative to the floor, the wall, the ceiling or the desk top. The frame can hold the display mount at a height relative to the base of the frame. The system can fix the relative height between the screen and the display mount while the height of the screen and the display is being adjusted.

A work bench includes a work surface with a spline assembly supported adjacent work surface. The spline assembly includes a longitudinally extended spline body and a longitudinally extended raceway cover. The spline body has an upper portion and two side arms extending downwardly from the upper portion. The spline body defines a channel for carrying a power track between the two side arms. The raceway cover is configured to attach to the two side arms of the spline body below the power track, and defines a raceway for carrying cables underneath the spline body.

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.

The invention is directed to an intensive use furniture component having a sealing connection on a mounting surface for sealingly attaching to a floor or wall to prevent liquid from seeping under or behind the furniture component. The furniture component is formed by an outer shell having a side wall extending generally perpendicular to the mounting surface. A mounting flange is disposed adjacent the sidewall. A bolt hole is formed in the mounting flange. The sealing connection comprises a caulk channel formed as a channel in the mounting surface for receiving a bead of caulk to fill the seam between the mounting surface and the wall or floor to prevent fluid from seeping past the caulk channel to a space adjacent the interior mounting surface.

A furniture item (1) includes a supporting plane (2) defining a top supporting plane surface (3). A wiring assembly (10) is associated with the supporting plane (2), arranged outside the supporting plane (2) and above the top supporting plane surface (3), extending with respect to the top surface (3) moving away to create a barrier of discontinuity of the top supporting plane surface (3). The wiring assembly (10) includes a body (20, 21) having a shoulder wall (22) extending outside the supporting plane surface (3). The body (20, 21) defines an inner channel (24, 25) within the assembly (10) and adapted to receive power supply and/or service devices (91, 92, 93) therein. The inner channel (20, 21) extends in a direction substantially parallel to the top supporting plane surface (3). A fastening device (40) fastens the wiring assembly (10) to the supporting plane (2).

A bathroom vanity with a retractable step is disclosed herein. The bathroom vanity includes a cabinet body portion including a top wall and a plurality of sidewalls, and defining a bottom recess with an open bottom; and a retractable step slidingly coupled to the cabinet body portion and being displaceable between a stowed position where the retractable step is disposed within the bottom recess of the cabinet body portion and an extended position where the retractable step extends outwardly from a front of the cabinet body portion so as to provide a step for a user of the bathroom vanity, the retractable step being configured to slide along a floor on which the bathroom vanity is disposed when the retractable step is displaced, and at least a portion of the retractable step being configured to contact the floor when the retractable step is displaced.
