A low cost cabinet pedestal wherein at least the top and side walls are formed from a single piece of material without the need for any additional stiffening members such as vertical rails for drawer slides, or any other internal strengthening members. The bottom of the low cost pedestal can also be formed from the same single sheet of material and a base panel can be added for rigidity. The top, bottom, and side walls can have flanged members at the edges thereof, and overlapping portions of the flanged members at corners of the pedestal can be rigidly joined together to provide increased stiffness to the pedestal. The side walls of the pedestal can be provided with integrally formed connection portions for the direct attachment of horizontal drawer slides.

An open office system partition panel assembly including a panel having an outwardly opening wire raceway channel on top with a removable cap to permit wires to be laid in the top raceway channel. End wire raceway channels open away from the core of the panel and each has a panel connector support rail closing its opening. The wire raceway channels form a steel frame of box section strength for the panel and all metal-enclosed, non-snagging wire raceways from the top to the base of the panel. Legs formed as part of the panel base support the panel connector support rails. Wire passageways extend from the panel base to the end wire raceway channels. The panel base has an end section fastened to and supported on each leg. Upper panel connectors facilitate the connection of panels, improve the rigidity of the connection between panels and provide positive locking for the panel connection, both vertically and horizontally. The middle section, which fastens to and is supported on the end sections, may be omitted when electrical wiring is not installed in the panel base.

A base assembly for an open office partition panel. The base assembly is formed in sections, namely, end sections and a center section. An end section is fastened to and supported on each leg. The center section, which fastens to and is supported on the end sections, may be omitted when electrical wiring is not installed in the panel base. Each section is formed of a pair of elongated, channel-shaped housings which are fastened to each other back to back to form a housing section having a center dividing wall and open sides. A snap-in divider separates each channel-shaped housing of the panel base section into upper and lower wire conduits.
