What is claimed is: 1. An electrical distribution harness assembly of a modular power assembly for providing power to an office furniture assembly including an article of office furniture including an exterior surface, said electrical distribution harness assembly comprising: at least one electrical connector including a plurality of projections and an end configured for connecting to a plurality of electrical conductors; a channel including a wireway and at least one slideway integral with said wireway, said channel coupled with said at least one electrical connector and configured for carrying said plurality of electrical conductors; and a cover slidably received within said at least one slideway, said cover at least partly overlapping said end of said at least one electrical connector and thereby in part coupling said at least one electrical connector with said channel and preventing said at least one electrical conductor from disconnecting from said channel, said cover including a flat expanse, said channel including at least one end defining a first plurality of holes each of which is open toward said flat expanse of said cover, each of said plurality of projections positioned in a corresponding one of said first plurality of holes. 2. The electrical distribution harness assembly of claim 1, wherein said cover, together with said plurality of projections, couples said at least one electrical connector with said channel. 3. The electrical distribution harness assembly of claim 1, wherein said at least one slideway includes an inwardly curled flange. 4. The electrical distribution harness assembly of claim 3, wherein said inwardly curled flange defines at least one second hole and at least one third hole and said cover includes a first longitudinal side defining at least one fourth hole, said at least one second, third, and fourth holes being respectively aligned. 5. The electrical distribution harness assembly of claim 1, wherein said channel has a low profile and is configured for being mounted to an underside of one of a table and a desk. 6. An office furniture assembly comprising: an article of office furniture including an exterior surface; and an electrical distribution harness assembly coupled with said exterior surface, said electrical distribution harness assembly including: at least one electrical connector including a plurality of projections and an end configured for connecting to a plurality of electrical conductors; a channel including a wireway and at least one slideway integral with said wireway, said channel coupled with said at least one electrical connector and configured for carrying said plurality of electrical conductors; and a cover slidably received within said at least one slideway, said cover at least partly overlapping said end of said at least one electrical connector and thereby in part coupling said at least one electrical connector with said channel and preventing said at least one electrical conductor from disconnecting from said channel, said cover including a flat expanse, said channel including at least one end defining a first plurality of holes each of which is open toward said flat expanse of said cover, each of said plurality of projections positioned in a corresponding one of said first plurality of holes. 7. The office furniture assembly claim 6, wherein said cover, together with said plurality of projections, couples said at least one electrical connector with said channel. 8. The office furniture assembly of claim 6, wherein said at least one slideway includes an inwardly curled flange. 9. The office furniture assembly of claim 8, wherein said inwardly curled flange defines at least one second hole and at least one third hole and said cover includes a first longitudinal side defining at least one fourth hole, said at least one second, third, and fourth holes being respectively aligned. 10. The office furniture assembly of claim 6, wherein said channel has a low profile, said article of office furniture being one of a table and a desk, said exterior surface being an underside of said article of office furniture, said electrical distribution harness assembly configured for being mounted to said underside. 11. A method of assembling an electrical distribution harness assembly of a modular power assembly for providing power to an office furniture assembly including an exterior surface, said method comprising the steps of: providing a cover and a channel including a wireway and at least one slideway integral with said wireway; placing a plurality of electrical conductors and a portion of at least one electrical connector within said wireway; connecting an end of said at least one electrical connector to said plurality of electrical conductors; slidably receiving said cover within said at least one slideway, said cover at least partly overlapping said end of said at least one electrical connector and thereby in part coupling said at least one electrical connector with said channel and preventing said at least one electrical conductor from disconnecting from said channel; and inserting a plurality of projections of said at least one electrical connector in a corresponding first plurality of holes defined by an end of said channel, said cover including a flat expanse, each of said first plurality of holes being open toward said flat expanse of said cover. 12. The method of assembling of claim 11, wherein said at least one slideway includes an inwardly curled flange. 13. The method of assembling of claim 11, wherein said cover, together with said plurality of projections, couples said at least one electrical connector with said channel. 14. The method of assembling of claim 11, further comprising the step of aligning at least one second hole, at least one third hole, and at least one fourth hole, said at least one second and third holes defined by said at least one slideway, said at least one fourth hole defined by a longitudinal side of said cover. 15. The method of assembling of claim 14, further comprising the step of securing said cover to said at least one slideway using said second, third, and fourth plurality of holes. 16. The method of assembling of claim 11, wherein said channel has a low profile, the office furniture assembly including an article of office furniture which is one of a table and a desk, the exterior surface being an underside of said article of office furniture, the electrical distribution harness assembly being mounted to said underside.
