CE B102 FFE – Furniture Package Q&A

1. For desk 1 and 2, I can see that its 2 separate furniture when we can provide you a whole panel system. Where the hutch can be an overhead storage attached to the panel to complete the whole panel around and instead of a credenza, a worksurface that is supported by a pedestal and is integrated to the panel.

A: The Base requires freestanding furniture, when possible, to allow flexibility in re-location and re-configuration in the future. The challenge with desk one and two is the need for a “transaction” top on the guest side of the workstation with an adjustable-height desk on the user side. Hence, the use of panels to hang a shelf on the guest side that does not interfere with the function of the adjustable-height desk. Please price as specified without panel system.

2. Also, the shelf on top of the panel for the side of the height adjustable desk, Is that a storage or a paper tray?

A: The shelf is not to be located on the top of the panel, but at 36” above finish floor.
