Abstract: Desk units that can be reconfigured to support, for example, collaboration between two or more individuals are provided. A first desk unit can include an operable modesty panel, which can be substantially perpendicular to the floor in one configuration, and can be relocated to be substantially parallel to the floor and in line with a table panel to provide an enlarged work area in a second configuration. The enlarged work area can be used by two or more individuals for collaboration. In addition, a second desk unit including an operable table panel, which can be substantially parallel to the floor in one configuration, and can be relocated to be substantially perpendicular to the floor in a second configuration can be located in front of the first desk unit. The operable table panel can be lowered to provide additional room for an individual to turn around and collaborate with another individual using the enlarged work area of the first desk unit.
