Claim:
A method of refurbishing a work station of the type having a vertical wall segment with a frame having a top, a bottom, side margins, and an exterior surface that is secured to the frame, the exterior surface extending from the top to the bottom and between the side margins of the frame, and a horizontal load support with an inner edge, with the horizontal load support connected to the side margins of the frame so that the inner edge of the horizontal load support faces the exterior surface of the vertical wall segment and defines a space therebetween, the method comprising the steps of: a. providing a sheet of material having a first surface, a second surface, side edges, a top edge, a bottom edge, a thickness defined by the first and second surfaces, and a width defined by the side edges, with the thickness of the first sheet less than the distance defined by the edge of the horizontal work surface and the exterior surface of the work station, and with the width of the first sheet less than a distance defined by the side margins of the frame; b. positioning the sheet so that it overlays the exterior surface and at least partially extend into the space defined by the inner edge of the horizontal load support and the vertical wall segment; c. affixing the sheet to the wall segment.
