If you are sitting at a
desk right now, you probably have a
modesty panel right in front of you, but you won't be
able to see it.
The
modesty panel is the
board running across the
back of your desk, between the back legs. It is there for several reasons.
They come in different sizes; usually described in
fractions, so a
full panel will usually appear on a
reception desk; but if the panel is only required for structural strength, a
three-quarter or smaller panel may be used.
