Abstract

A free-standing, partition-type furniture system adapted to subdivide an open space of a room, comprising a plurality of first partition panels, each including a first body portion having a pair of side edges, and a first screen member operably coupled to the first partition panel and laterally shiftable with respect to the first partition panel such that the first screen member extends from one of the side edges of the first body portion. The furniture system also includes a plurality of second partition panels each including a second body portion having an upper edge, and a second screen member operably coupled to the second partition panel and vertically shiftable with respect to the second partition panel such that the second screen member extends from the upper edge of the second body portion. The plurality of first and second partition panels are operably coupleable and arrangeable so as to subdivide the open space of a room.

1 . A furniture system, comprising:
 a partition panel;   a worksurface supported from the partition panel;   a second worksurface at least partially underlying the first worksurface and laterally shiftable with respect to the first worksurface; and,   a support member extending between the first worksurface and the second worksurface, thereby supporting the first worksurface above the second worksurface.   
   
   
       2 . The furniture system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one support member is fixedly coupled to a bottom surface of the first worksurface and guides along a top surface of the second worksurface. 
   
   
       3 . The furniture system of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one support member includes a pad member located at a distal end thereof, thereby protecting the top surface of the second worksurface from damage. 
   
   
       4 . The furniture system of  claim 3 , wherein the pad member comprises felt.
