Abstract:

A desk or other piece of furniture having a horizontal work surface and at least one retractable storage compartment. The storage compartment is movable between a retracted or closed position and an extended or opened position. When in the retracted position the horizontal top of the storage compartment is substantially planar with the horizontal work surface. When in the extended position and when moving between the retracted position and the extended position the horizontal top of the storage compartment is substantially parallel to the horizontal work surface. Optionally a wire management system is used to extend one or more electrical cables between the storage compartment and the area below the work surface.
