Adjustablecolumn or legs should beused to support front edge ofworksurface.In P-edge profile worksurfaceapplications,side support bracket,cantilever, and two post orcabby legs must be used forsupport. A center supportpanel should not be installedalong the user’s edgebecause the unfinished topedge of the support panelwould be exposed.For freestanding installationsyou can use:• Single post leg• Single post leg with caster• Nesting post leg• Nesting post leg withcaster• Double post C-legcSee page 138 for Legsand Supports for SystemsWorksurfaces..Wiring & Cabling1 /2"Worksurface depth is1 ⁄2" less than nominal andallows cords and cables topass over at any point.
