An in-fill panel arrangement is designed for post and beam furniture systems of the type having overhead beams supported on vertical posts. Each of the beams has a lowermost face with a horizontal slot extending therealong, and each of the posts includes outwardly extending flanges having an end face with a slot extending vertically therealong. Beam-to-post connectors are attached to the opposite ends of the beams, and are detachably retained in the slots in the posts to mount the beams on the posts. Rigid in-fill panels are shaped to be positioned directly below the beams and above the floor to partition the space into individual work areas. Panel mounting brackets are detachably retained in the slots in the posts and the beams, and are connected with the in-fill panels. The slots in the posts and the beams are substantially identical in size and shape to define an integrated universal mounting arrangement wherein the posts and the beams can be interconnected in alternative configurations, and the in-fill panels can be mounted at a variety of different locations. The in-fill panels may have an arcuate shape, and can be positioned in an alternating facing relationship to create a serpentine shape.
