- a first work surface mounted atop said first beam;
- a second table leg assembly;
- a second beam mounted to said second table leg assembly, said second beam defining a second longitudinal beam extent oriented substantially perpendicular to said first longitudinal beam extent;
- a second work surface mounted atop said second beam;
- and
- a bracket connecting said first beam and said second beam, said bracket including at least one downwardly depending slot in which said locking lip of said first rail is received, said second beam adjustably connected to said bracket between a first position and a second position, such that when said second beam is connected to said bracket in said first position, said second beam is located a first distance from said first beam, and when said second beam is connected to said bracket in said second position, said second beam is located a second distance from said first beam, said first distance different than said second distance.
