Workstation with cable containment

Abstract

A work station includes a cable raceway. The cable raceway includes a basket in an interior of a base assembly, having an open upper end adjacent an access opening, and a bottom end defining openings, the basket configured to receive cables therein. A cover of the cable raceway is movable between a closed position, in which the cover is received in the access opening and covers the open upper end of the basket to inhibit access to the basket through the access opening, and an open position, in which the cover is at least partially outside the access opening to allow access to the basket through the access opening. The work station may have a work platform that is selectively adjustable in height. A portion of a footprint of the work platform may be commensurate with a corresponding portion of a footprint of the base assembly.
