a pivot panel coupled to the first side of the desk sleeve, wherein the pivot panel comprises a top surface and an opposing support surface, wherein the pivot panel is flippable between a closed position and an open position, and wherein the pivot panel allows an object to be braced by the support surface when the pivot panel is in an open position, and wherein the object comprises at least one of:

electronic display, flat panel monitor, television, book, magazine, electronic media device, electronic device, bulletin board, or blackboard;

a ledge coupled to the first side of the desk sleeve, wherein the ledge extends from the first side of the desk sleeve, and wherein the ledge is capable of supporting the object braced by the support surface, and wherein the ledge comprises:

a first end proximate a pivot point of the pivot panel; and

a second opposing end; and

an opening disposed between the second end of the ledge and the second side of the desk sleeve, wherein the opening is disposed proximate the second end of the ledge, wherein the opening allows access to an area disposed below the ledge to allow storage.

a pivot panel coupled to the first side of the desk sleeve, wherein the pivot panel is capable of being pivoted between a closed position and an open position, wherein the pivot panel pivots from the closed position to contact the desk sleeve in the open position; and wherein the pivot panel allows an object to be braced by the pivot panel in an open position, and wherein the object comprises at least one of:

electronic display, flat panel monitor, television, book, magazine, electronic media device, electronic device, bulletin board, or blackboard;

a ledge coupled to the first side of the desk sleeve, wherein the ledge extends from the first side of the desk sleeve, and wherein the ledge is capable of supporting the object braced by the support surface; and

an opening disposed between the ledge and the second opposing side of the desk sleeve, wherein the opening allows access to an area disposed below the ledge.
