10. The workstation system of claim 1 , wherein the vertical panel includes a front side and an opposing rear side, wherein at least a portion of the counterbalance mechanism is affixed to the front side of the vertical panel.
11. The workstation system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of height adjustable devices are spaced apart along a length of the vertical panel.
12. A workstation system including a first free-standing workstation assembly configured to electrically couple to a second free-standing workstation assembly, the workstation system comprising:
the first free-standing workstation assembly including:
a vertical panel; and
at least one height adjustable device secured to the vertical panel, the at least one height adjustable device including:
a worksurface configured to be affixed adjacent to the vertical panel;
a mounting member configured to be coupled to the worksurface; and
a counterbalance mechanism configured to be coupled to the vertical panel and to the mounting member, the counterbalance mechanism configured to support the worksurface through a range of travel; and
a mounting member configured to couple the worksurface to the counterbalance mechanism; and
a power connector configured to supply power to at least one power outlet of the first free-standing workstation assembly, the power connector configured to couple the first free-standing workstation assembly to the second free-standing workstation assembly and supply power to at least one power outlet of the second free-standing workstation assembly.
13. The workstation system of claim 12 , wherein the power connector has a latched position in which the power connector couples the first free-standing workstation assembly to the second free-standing workstation assembly and an unlatched position in which the power connector decouples the first free-standing workstation assembly from the second free-standing workstation assembly.
14. The workstation system of claim 13 , wherein the unlatched position includes a vertical orientation of the power connector.
15. The workstation system of claim 13 , wherein the latched position includes a horizontal orientation of the power connector.
16. A workstation system including a first free-standing workstation assembly configured to electrically couple to a second free-standing workstation assembly, the workstation system comprising:
the first free-standing workstation assembly including:
a vertical panel; and
at least one height adjustable device secured to the vertical panel, the at least one height adjustable device including:
