Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a mobile privacy screen includes a support frame defining an opening, a screen member made of a flexible material, wherein the screen member is disposed across the opening and is attached the support frame at a periphery of the screen, and an outrigger extending from the support frame and having an end adapted to engage a support surface. In other embodiments, the privacy screen further comprises a wheel attached to the end of the outrigger, and the support frame further comprises a handle. A method of reconfiguring a workspace is also provided detailing the moving of the mobile privacy screen from one location to a second location.

Abstract: A wall panel including a rectangular frame, a pair of wall members and a thin decorative sheet covering the wall members. The frame includes two spaced apart, generally parallel vertical frame members and spaced apart, generally parallel horizontal lower and upper frame members. The horizontal frame members are connected to the vertical frame members at opposite ends thereof to form the rectangular frame. Each of the frame members includes a core member and a pair of sidewall members attached to opposite sides of the core member. The wall members are attached to the sidewalls on opposing sides of the frame members. A decorative sheet covers the outer surface of each wall member. A method for manufacturing the frame members includes providing a fixture with spaced apart first, second and third surfaces. A hanger bracket is mounted to the vertical frame core member and is positioned in the fixture such that the hanger bracket engages the first surface.
