TRACE Freestanding Desk

The Trace™ Freestanding Desk is a modular system of desk shells, returns, bridges, corner units, hutches, tables, and individual components that can be mixed and matched with a comprehensive selection of Great Openings storage. All components are shipped KD, with the exception of our full hutches and corner hutches, which are assembled prior to shipment.
• Ease of specification. All work surfaces rest primarily on panel and corner legs, rather than pedestals. Storage options are innumerable, and
simply slide beneath the desk shells, return shells, and corner desks for quick installation
• Ease of assembly. All metal attachment points are pre-drilled, so that no “drill point” screws are required during installation. All modesty panels
attach to panel legs and corner legs, rather than to pedestals
• Ease of work surface installation. Pre-drilled work surfaces make it easy to position legs, pedestals, and center drawers
• Wire management. Covered metal channels, work surface and panel leg grommets, and “place it yourself” plastic wire management channels
provide a complete wire management solution
• Clean lines. All modesty panels are single piece, to minimize vertical lines. Desk legs, pedestals, and full height modesty panels are identical in
height so that horizontal lines are consistent
• Horizontal lines consistent with other products. The Trace™ desk hutch matches the height of our 65 7/8” Trace™ lateral files, towers,
and bookcases for consistent horizontal alignment throughout

Detailed Desk Component Specifications
23” and 29” Panel Leg Specifications:
• Panel legs are non handed, and 27 3/4” high when leveling glides are fully recessed. Leveling glides provide 7/8” adjustment
• 23” and 29” panel legs correspond with 24” and 30” deep work surfaces, and are placed at the end of work surface runs
• All panel legs are 1 1/2” wide so that work surface fasteners are positioned within the leg itself, allowing for storage to set snug against the leg
• 23” and 29” panel legs each require one gusset when no modesty panel is present
• Each leg is pre-drilled for both partial and full height modesty panel attachment
• All panel legs include (1) 18” plastic wire management channel that is equipped with adhesive strips and may be attached to a modesty panel, work surface, or storage cabinet
• 23” and 29” panel legs are available with or without two rectangular 3 1/2” x 2” plastic grommets (inside clear dimensions: 2 3/4” x 1 1/2”), positioned at the top of the leg
• Full height metal panel leg covers close-out vertical channels integrated into the panel legs (two per leg), and are sold separately. Each cover includes two grommets, located at top and bottom
• Panel legs and metal wire management covers consist of 20 gauge steel
12” Panel Leg Specifications:
• 12” panel legs are designed to sit perpendicular to the edge of the work surface, providing additional support and knee space. 12” panel legs may not be used at the end of work surface runs
• Unlike 23” and 29” panel legs, 12” panel legs do not require gussets when there is no modesty panel because they may not be used at the end of a work surface run
• 12” panel legs may also be used in mid-run to support two work surfaces simultaneously
• Each leg is pre-drilled on both sides for both partial and full height modesty panel attachment, and are unhanded
• All panel legs include (1) 18” plastic wire management channel that is equipped with adhesive strips and may be attached to a modesty panel, work surface, or storage cabinet
• A single grommet is included at the top of each 12” panel leg. Grommets are black plastic, 3 1/2” x 2” (inside clear dimensions: 2 3/4” x1 1/2”)
• A metal wire management cover is included with each 12” panel leg
• Panel legs and covers consist of 20 gauge steel
Corner Leg Specifications:
• “L” shaped corner leg is 7 1/2” x 7 1/2”, and 1 1/2” wide so that work surface fasteners are positioned within the leg itself
• Corner legs are 27 3/4” high when leveling glides are fully recessed. Leveling glides provide 7/8” adjustment
• Each leg is pre-drilled for both partial and full height modesty attachment
• All corner legs include (1) 18” plastic wire management channel that is equipped with adhesive strips and may be attached to a modesty panel, work surface, or storage cabinet
• Metal wire management cover attaches and removes easily, closing out the triangular leg to capture wires within, and are sold separately
• Corner legs and covers consist of 20 gauge steel.
Post Leg:
• Post leg 27 3/4” high and 3” in diameter, with adjustable leveling glide
• Each leg is pre-drilled for both partial and full height modesty panel attachment.
Gussets:
• One gusset is required to support 23” and 29” panel legs when no modesty panel or pedestal positioned adjacent to the panel leg is present
• Unlike 23” and 29” panel legs, 12” panel legs do not require gussets when there is no modesty panel, because they may not be used at the end of a work surface run
• Gussets consist of 18 gauge steel
Panel Leg/Pedestal Bracket: For use when a pedestal is positioned adjacent to a panel leg so that no gusset is required, but the user wants to be certain the panel leg can withstand heavy use including pushing the desk across carpeted floor or transporting desk while tipped on end. Bracket simply fastens the pedestal and panel leg together at the bottom
