What is a modesty panel on an L-shaped desk?

Modesty panels serve both aesthetic and structural functions on commercial L-desks. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, all full-size commercial configurations include full-height modesty panels along the rear and side elevations — they provide rigidity to the desk frame and create a finished visual profile. For workstations in visitor-facing or reception configurations, modesty panels prevent guests from seeing under the desk, maintaining a professional appearance. Wire management channels are frequently integrated into the modesty panel structure. Call 1-800-460-0858.
