Abstract
A partition system includes a partition having a top frame member with opposing sides. The sides include a row of component-supporting apertures that extend from end-to-end of the partitions. A transaction top is attachable to a top of the partition through use of brackets that are selectively engageable with the apertures, thus positioning the transaction top anywhere along a top of the partition, even in positions where the transaction top spans between in-line or perpendicularly connected partitions. The brackets engage the underside of the transaction top, and support the top above the partition. Unused slots under the transaction top remain accessible for use. Also, removable cover panels on the partitions are removable without disassembling the transaction top.
