Desk Back

OpenDeskLab can be configured with either a tall back or a short one. The tall back provides support for embedded lighting and connection to the room ventilation system, while the short back only goes up to the Cable Routing height, allowing the user (and the superviser) to have visual contact with the installed facilities.

Warning

In some countries it may be against the regulations to install a short back for safety reasons. It is up to the builder to choose the correct version if safety rules must apply.

The width of the back depends on the number of modules that the desk will be comprised. The assembly procedure however remains the same, although more bolts, locks and dowel pins are needed in the bigger desks.

Important

Tools Needed:
  • Pozidriv Screwdriver
