Abstract: The system of computer furniture includes a plurality of conference units which have a work surface with a straight portion and a 90.degree. curved portion at one end of the straight portion, a plurality of units having a straight work surface, a plurality of units having a quarter-round (90.degree.) work surface, a plurality of units having a half-round (180.degree.) work surface, and a plurality of units having one inside corner configuration. The units each include a first latch member on one end thereof and a second latch member on the other end thereof so that the units can be conveniently mated with and released from each other to provide flexibility in making various system arrangements. The latch member itself comprises two mating portions, one portion having a body and two truncated triangular elements extending from a surface of the body, with a space therebetween, the other portion having a body with two triangular slots therein to receive the triangular elements of one portion.
