  • Patent number: 10492601
    Abstract: A work table for securely holding accessories that has a groove spanning a portion of the tabletop, wherein any number of tech products and other accessories can be supported. The groove runs between the side ends of the tabletop and provides a variation of mounting locations preferably on opposite sides of the lateral axis, thus having no presupposed configuration for where tech products or accessories should be supported within the groove. There is a series of apertures within the groove that allow for easy cable pass through at any point therein. Additionally, the table has a cable grid below the tabletop that allow a user to removably attach tech product chargers, power strips, or other accessories directly below the work top for easy accessibility through the series of apertures.
