Desk and chair set

Abstract

A desk assembly and method of manufacturing the desk assembly. The desk assembly includes a frame supporting a top assembly. The frame includes two or more leg portions telescopically coupled to one another such that the top assembly is height adjustable. The top assembly is formed from a plastic molded base bonded to a high pressure laminate sheet to form a seamless panel. The seamless panel is straighted from a deformed state during the manufacturing process to a flat surface by adhering the panel to a substrate with adhesive and pressure. The top assembly may include an angled portion set off by a flowing arc to increase user comfort. The desk assembly may include a chair assembly integrally formed with the frame and one or more semi-transparent modesty panels.

1 . A desk assembly comprising:
 a desk frame including two or more leg portions; and   a top assembly supported by the desk frame, the top assembly formed of a plastic molded base bonded to a high pressure laminate sheet.   
   
   
       2 . The desk assembly of  claim 1  wherein the top assembly further includes a substrate adhered to the plastic molded base and high pressure laminate sheet. 
   
   
       3 . The desk assembly of  claim 2  wherein the substrate is one of molded wood, particle board or plywood. 
   
   
       4 . The desk assembly of  claim 1  wherein the top assembly is seamless. 
   
   
       5 . The desk assembly of  claim 1  wherein the top assembly is height adjustable. 
   
   
       6 . The desk assembly of  claim 5  wherein each leg portion includes an upper portion telescopically coupled to a lower portion. 
   
   
       7 . The desk assembly of  claim 1  wherein a forward edge of the top surface includes an angled portion set off by a flowing arc. 
   
   
       8 . The desk assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a chair assembly coupled to the desk frame. 
   
   
       9 . The desk assembly of  claim 8  wherein the chair assembly includes a chair frame integrally formed with the desk frame. 
   
   
       10 . The desk assembly of  claim 1  further comprising one or more semi-transparent panels covering the desk frame. 
   
   
       11 . A desk assembly comprising:
 a desk frame including two or more leg portions; and   a top assembly supported by the desk frame, the top assembly including a top surface formed with a forward edge and an angled portion set off from the forward edge by a flowing arc.   
   
   
       12 . The desk assembly of  claim 11  wherein the angled portion slopes at an angle of from about 16° to about 20°. 
   
   
       13 . The desk assembly of  claim 11  wherein at a center of the forward edge of the top surface, the angled portion extends for about two inches from the forward edge to the flowing arc. 
   
   
       14 . The desk assembly of  claim 11  wherein the top surface of the top assembly is seamless. 
   
   
       15 . The desk assembly of  claim 11  wherein the top assembly is formed of a plastic molded base bonded to a high pressure laminate sheet.
