Abstract

A nested table system which can be reconfigured as desired to accommodate work space requirements includes a stationary table and a movable table having legs supported on casters to facilitate repositioning thereof. The movable table has a worksurface which has dimensions, and which is supported at an elevation, which allows at least a portion of the worksurface of the movable table to be positioned underneath the worksurface of the stationary table. The nested table systems includes one or more features which helps prevent damage to the edges of the worksurface of the movable table when it is moved underneath or adjacent to the stationary table. Such features include a bumper molding which projects outwardly from the edges of the worksurface of the moveable table, arcuate side edges on the moveable table which in combination with a rearwall extending downwardly from a rear edge of the worksurface of the stationary table prevents the corners of the worksurface of the movable table from contacting rear legs of the stationary table, and a plurality of cable management channels which are preferably comprised of an energy absorbing, resiliently deformable polymeric material and which acts as bumpers.
