Abstract

A work station suitable for mounting office equipment, and particularly electrical equipment, including an elongate support beam and legs for mounting this beam in a horizontal position above a floor. Work surfaces are mounted on at least one side of this beam and a support wall is mounted on top of the beam. A support wall extension is mounted on top of this support wall so as to increase the overall height of the wall. A self-supporting equipment cabinet is connectible to one end of the support beam and has an access opening in at least one side located adjacent the end of the beam. This opening permits wiring and cable to extend from the cabinet into the beam. Support brackets with horizontal inner arm sections and steeply sloping intermediate arm sections are provided to connect work surface members to the beam.
