A height adjustable desk or table is disclosed wherein a specially configured base includes a middle cabinet having an interior and side cabinets that protrude forwardly from the middle cabinet. An elevating desk top or panel is movable between elevated and lowered positions. A specially configured cable group or assembly or sleeve containing cables extends out from the middle cabinet interior and through a laterally extending slot (e.g., oval) or opening as the desk top or panel elevates. The cables can include power cables and data cables. In one embodiment, the specially configured sleeve is of flexible or fabric or woven material. In one embodiment, the sleeve has two bores that separate one type of cable from another type of cable.
