Abstract: A desk providing a work surface and having a top, a bottom, a perimeter edge, and a U-shaped channel disposed below the top of the work surface adjacent the perimeter edge. The U-shaped channel includes a vertical member extending downwardly from the work surface proximate the perimeter edge, a bridge member, and a back member extending upwardly from the bridge member and spaced from the vertical member. A plurality of legs are attached to the bottom of the work surface to support the work surface a predetermined distance above a floor. The desk may be fitted with a return rotatably attached to at least one of the plurality of legs such that the return can be rotated under the work surface when not in use.

Abstract: A utility desk for home or office use comprises a work surface supported by a plurality of legs. The back of the work surface is formed with a first vertical member depending therefrom. The first vertical member is joined to a back by a bridge member. The first vertical member, bridge member and back together form a cable channel dimensioned to receive electrical cables attached to electrical devices positioned on top of the desk. In a preferred embodiment, the back extends above the plane defined by the top of the work surface and includes a window formed therethrough. A shade is adjustably drawn over the window to provide additional privacy. A shelf extends horizontally from the top of the back to provide an additional worksurface. The desk may be fitted with a return rotatably attached to a front leg which can be rotated under the work surface when not in use.
