A wiring duct structure 6 is arranged at the center of the desk 1 in the widthwise direction. A desk 1 is a large desk (large table) suitably used in an office or the like, and has a top plate 2 disposed at a higher position than a normal desk.

The top plate portion 2a includes two top plates 2 and an opening/closing lid 6a included in the wiring duct structure 6. The two top plates 2 are fixed on the support structure 3 in a state where they are aligned in the short dimension direction and spaced apart by a predetermined distance. Therefore, an opening 5 is formed between the two top plates 2 over the entire length thereof.

The wiring duct structure 6 is arranged over the entire length of the opening 5 formed between the two top plates 2, and is connected to a power supply etc. so that the user can suitably use the electronic equipment used on the top plate 2. This is for guiding various cables. That is, the wiring duct structure 6 is arranged at the unused edge of the top plate 2 (between the unused edges of the pair of top plates 2).

The wiring duct structure 6 is arranged along the longitudinal direction at the center of the desk 1 in the width direction. The wiring duct structure 6 has an opening/closing lid 6a for opening and closing the opening 5.

When the opening/closing lid 6a is in the closed state, the upper surface of the opening/closing lid 6a is substantially flush with the upper surfaces of the two top plates 2. Since the width of the opening/closing lid 6a is smaller than the width of the opening 5, a gap is formed between the end of the opening/closing lid 6a and the edge of the opening 5. The opening/closing lid 6a is rotatably supported with respect to the wiring duct 50 via a rotation device 6b, and is configured to be able to open and close the opening 5. Specifically, it has a double-opening structure so that when the user faces the longitudinal edge of the top plate 2, it can be opened and closed from either direction. Therefore, by opening the opening/closing lid 6a, the upper part of the wiring duct 50 can be opened and closed.

The support structure 3 has a substantially rectangular frame portion 30 and four leg supports 35 arranged near the corners of the frame portion 30.
