Customer SPOTLIGHT Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Medical School I was out at the assembly site to see the assembled version of the desk we put together.

I’m assured that assembling the desk in a mirror-image configuration will work very smoothly where needed. I’m very pleased with the design we’ve come up with, and I again offer my special compliments to the engineer who conceived...
