A temporary office partition system is provided in which the partition is comprised of a plurality of partition panels, hinges, and bases. The panels are substantially flat, and have a bottom edge closely received in an associated partition base for support in a freestanding, substantially vertical, upright position. The base comprises at least two spaced-apart support portions disposed in a horizontally spaced relationship defining a panel receiving slot in which the panel is received. The base is supported on a floor surface in abutting fashion by laterally spaced-apart foot portions. Hinges comprising two oppositely outward facing U-shaped channels are shaped to closely receive the side edges of the panels and the U-shaped channels are interconnected by a flexible web to permit adjacent panels to be positioned in a mutually angular relationship.
