Abstract
A furniture unit includes a worksurface, a supporting base formed by a supporting pedestal and/or a supporting end panel, and a pair of rails connected to the underside of the worksurface reinforcing the worksurface and acting as a standoff between the worksurface and the supporting base, the rails including apertures spaced longitudinally along their length. A bracket is provided including an elongate bayonet-like leg for releasably engaging the apertures in the rail and further includes an accessory supporting end that extends laterally of a worksurface edge. A plurality of accessory units are selectively mounted to the bracket in a position spaced above the worksurface, thus allowing a user to select and position one or more of the accessory units along the edge of the worksurface for optimal use and efficiency of the furniture unit.
