Abstract:
1. A desk, comprising: a frame assembly including a plurality of leg assemblies interconnected with a first platform support rail, each leg assembly comprising a telescoping upright member and a second platform support rail, wherein the second platform support rail includes a threaded aperture; a reversible work platform having oppositely disposed first and second work surfaces, and a plurality of attachment apertures extending therethrough; a plurality of bushings having a flange portion and a tubular portion sized to slidably engage one of the plurality of attachment apertures wherein the bushings are sized and configured to be removably inserted into the attachment aperture of the reversible work platform from either the first or the second work surface; and a plurality of bolts sized to extend through the plurality of bushings and threadably engage the second platform support rail threaded apertures to attach the reversible work platform to the frame assembly; wherein the plurality of attachment apertures are positioned to be alignable with the second platform support rail threaded apertures when the work platform is oriented with the first work surffice adjacent to the second platform support rails, and to also be alignable with the second platform support rail threaded apertures when the work platform is oriented with the second work surface adjacent the second platform support rails; whereby the reversible work platform is attachable to the frame assembly with the plurality of bolts that are accessible from above the frame assembly, and wherein the reversible work platform is asymmetric such that the desk has a left-handed orientation when the first work surface is oriented adjacent to the second platform support rails, and the desk has a reversed right-handed orientation when the second work surface is oriented adjacent to the second platform support rails.
