A support member for use with an article of furniture has cable management capabilities. The support member comprises an elongate leg member defined by a wall to form an elongate inner cavity therein. Preferably, the leg member has a substantially circular lateral cross-section. The wall has a slot therethrough providing access to the inner cavity. The slot has first and second ends where each end of the slot is spaced from its respective end of the elongate leg member. An access panel is hingedly attached to the support member to cover only an intermediate portion of the slot. The access panel is moveable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the access panel limits access to the inner cavity through the intermediate portion of the slot. In the open position the access panel allows access to the inner cavity along the entire length of the slot.
