Abstract: A storage and work system including at least three modules having a top and a removable panel sized to overlie at least three modules and connect two of the modules in a removable panel assembly. The removable panel includes a work surface on the top surface of the panel and a mating surface on the bottom surface of the panel. The mating surface can include a first portion arranged to cooperate with the top of a first module, a second portion arranged to cooperate with the top of a second module and a third portion arranged to allow docking a third module under the removable panel without engaging the removable panel. The removable panel assembly can be movable and can be used as a workbench storage and work system with a modular workbench arranged to dock the removable panel assembly underneath the workbench top.
