Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a modular desk includes a frame defining a periphery of a worksurface area and at least one opening formed within the worksurface area. A storage accessory is removeably received in the opening and releaseably engages the frame. In one embodiment, the frame further comprises a plurality of sockets formed therein. An accessory includes a stanchion having an insert portion received in at least one of the plurality of sockets. In one embodiment, an accessory includes a flexible membrane, which forms at least a portion of a worksurface. A method of reconfiguring a worksurface with various accessories is also provided, as is a method for storing an article on a worksurface.

Abstract: A tilt assembly comprising a tilt housing, a body support member pivotally attached to said tilt housing about a first horizontal axis and a spring mounted to said tilt housing at a second horizontal axis. The body support member is moveable between a first and second position. The second horizontal axis is adjustably moveable relative to the first horizontal axis. The spring biases said body support member at a first location when the body support member is in the first position and at a second location when the body support member is in the second position, with the second location being a greater distance from the first horizontal axis than the first location. A method for supporting a chair body support member is also provided.

Abstract: A height adjustable table that has a base and a table top. A support is attached to the tabletop where the support selectively engages the base solely via friction so that the tabletop is prevented from moving relative to the base.
