Abstract: A grommet assembly for an article of furniture, such as a desk or credenza, which allows for an attachment to a hutch while also providing for the passage of wiring through the furniture surface on which the hutch is supported. The grommet assembly includes a grommet that line a hole formed in the edge of the furniture worktop. A lug projecting upwardly from the grommet above an upper surface of the worktop is adapted for attachment to a hutch supported on the worktop. The grommet defines wiring passageways within the hole, which accommodate wiring through the hole between spaces above, below, and outward, such as laterally, of the desktop. A removable top cover mountable to the grommet covers at least a portion of the hole at the upper surface of the worktop, and a removable side cover mountable to the grommet covers at least a portion of the hole at the edge surface of the worktop.
