Flat Pack Furniture

It ought to be a 'modesty panel' really, not vanity. Vain people might want to show off!

Particularly if they have got panel pins.

To deepen your new-found interest in furniture, the panel is known as a 'vanity panel'.

If the desk is placed in an open-plan or reception environment, the panel stops someone approaching the desk from looking between the legs of the person sitting behind it.

Particularly relevant, of course, if that person is a lady in a skirt.

I'd not heard of this before, I originally thought it was there to make the unit a bit more rigid, my old trolley did not have this type of panel and was prone to rocking a bit.
