a back cover;
a power bar having at least one electrical outlet;
a cord system electrically connected between the power bar and an electrical power supply, the cord system including at least one cable; and
a cable management track positioned adjacent the back cover and in a fixed positional relationship with respect to the power bar, the track having at least a track sidewall that defines a cable entrance portion including a cable entrance opening, a cable storage portion extending from the cable entrance portion and including a cable exit opening, and a cable guide;
wherein the cord system extends into the track through the entrance opening and exits the track through the exit opening in the track, such that a length of the cord system is positioned within the cable management track, and wherein as the height adjustable table is moved to a lower position, the length of cord system within the track increases, with a portion of the cord system engaging the cable guide to route the cord system into the cable storage portion of the cable management track.

10. A modesty panel for a height adjustable table capable of being raised and lowered, the modesty panel comprising:
a back cover connected to the height adjustable table;
a front cover coupled to and spaced from the back cover;
a mounting bracket configured to removably couple at least one of the back cover and front cover to the height adjustable table;
a power bar between the back cover and the front cover;
a cord system electrically connected to the power bar and a power supply, the cord system including at least one cable and a sheath surrounding the at least one cable, the sheath providing rigidity to the cord system; and
a cable track housing connected to the mounting bracket between the back cover and the front cover, the cable track housing including a front face, a back face, and a track sidewall extending between the front face and the back face, wherein the front face, back face and track sidewall combine to form a cable storage compartment, the track sidewall defining an entrance opening for the cord system, an exit opening for the cord system, and at least one cable guide surface;
wherein the cord system extends through the entrance opening and the exit opening in the track housing, and wherein the amount of the cord system within the cable storage compartment increases as the height adjustable table is moved to a lowered position, wherein the cord system abuts the cable guide and is directed into the cable storage compartment and to take the approximate shape of the cable storage compartment.

14. A cable management system for a height adjustable table, the height adjustable table having a worksurface capable of being raised and lowered, the worksurface having an underside, and the cable management system comprising:
a back cover;
a power bar having at least one electrical outlet;
a cord system electrically connected to the power bar and an electrical power supply, the cord system including at least one cable; and
a cable management track positioned adjacent the back cover and in a fixed positional relationship with respect to the power bar, the track having at least a track sidewall that defines a cable entrance portion including a cable entrance opening, a cable storage portion extending from the cable entrance portion and including a cable exit opening, and a cable guide;
wherein the cord system extends through the entrance opening and the exit opening in the track, such that a length of the cord system is positioned within the cable management track, and wherein as the height adjustable table is moved to a lower position, the length of cord system within the track increases, with a portion of the cord system engaging the cable guide to route the cord system into the cable storage portion of the cable management track, wherein the cable guide is a portion of the track sidewall positioned opposite the entrance opening and is set at an angle with respect to the entrance opening to direct the cord system into the cable storage portion of the track.
