Modular desk systems and methods

Abstract

A modular desk system may include a plurality of configurable components including, for example, a top panel, an all-purpose hook, a cup hook, a storage shelf, a connecting shelf, a connecting planter box, a connecting divider, a connecting platform, a desktop organization member, a channel, a kickstand base, and/or a support frame. The components may be configured and/or reconfigured to create a desk. The configuration assemblies of the modular desk system may be paired with and coupled to other desk units and/or furniture.

 footcaps to engage the C-shaped spine members with a floor surface.   
     
     
         8 . The modular desk assembly of  claim 1 , the first linked desk system further comprising:
 at least one accessory hook selected from the group comprising:
 an all-purpose hook and a cup hook. 
   
     
     
         9 . The modular desk assembly of  claim 1 , the first linked desk system further comprising:
 a channel coupled to the support frame to store, route, secure and organize wires, cables, and other electronic devices.   
     
     
         10 . A modular desk assembly, said assembly comprising:

   a second linked desk system comprising:
 a second support frame comprising a pair of C-shaped spine members coupled through a kickstand base; 
 a second top panel having a lip sealed thereto; 
 a second storage shelf; and 
 a second desktop organization and display stand system; and 
   a connection device connecting the first linked desk system to the second linked desk system.
