About this detail

This architectural detail shows the base assembly for a witness desk anchored to a raised platform and cast-in-place concrete slab. The superstructure consists of 2-inch by 2-inch steel tubes spaced at ends and 48 inches on center, secured to 5-and-a-half-inch by 5-and-a-half-inch by quarter-inch thick square steel post bases with self-tapping screws. The base plates weld to vertical tube spacers and are set flush with the top of the gypcrete topping over foam insulation. The desk cladding features three-quarter-inch wood veneer over medium-density fiberboard with concealed solid wood edge banding below the veneer, matching solid wood splines at joints, and required wood blocking. The base sits on a solid wood base with shims as required, adjacent to carpeting, with a typical one-eighth-inch reveal.
