The top surface has several depressions. Each depression is adapted to receive a respective desk implement and is of a size and shape to laterally confine the respective implement against substantial horizontal movement. Several elongated sockets open through the front wall and extend rearwardly therefrom at positions laterally spaced from the depressions. The top surface may also be provided with an upright wall structure shaped to conform to another respective one of the desk implements for receiving the same. One of the sockets may be positioned below and laterally between the upright wall structure.
