Abstract
A work station desk has a pair of opposing side panels that are generally vertically oriented elongated members. The side panels are generally parallel to and spaced laterally from one another. A work surface is supported above a floor, by the side panels. Further, a top is supported above the work surface, by the side panels. The top has a transparent or translucent panel that is adapted to transmit light through the panel to illuminate the work surface and the work station. A perimeter frame supports the panel in the top.
