What is the deflection spec for a commercial benching surface?

Commercial benching surfaces should meet ANSI/BIFMA X5.5 standards, which require less than 0.25 in. of surface deflection under a 250 lb. uniformly distributed load and less than 0.1 in. under a 75 lb. concentrated load. Low deflection ensures monitors stay level and keyboards track smoothly. OfficeFurniture2go.com only carries BIFMA-compliant systems — call 1-800-460-0858.
