fixed-height & height-adjustable gable guidelines

• Height-Adjustable Gables are offered for Height-Adjustable Desks only• Two half gables can sufficiently support two semi-supported desks butted up against one another . Flush plates are included

to maintain stability and level the surface• All desks with half gables cannot be used alone; they must be combined with one or more desks with half gable to form a

complete workstation

Desks are available with full or half gables. Half gables provide additional kneespace clearance at desk junction.

Metal C-Leg

Half Gable

Two Full Gables or Metal C-Legs• Single desks with two full

gables or Metal C-Legs are freestanding and can either be used alone or combined with other desks

• Any desk that does not have two full gables or Metal C-Legs is semi-supported and must be attached to other desks with full gable or Metal C-Leg, or similar support at both ends
