What is a modesty panel on an executive desk?

A modesty panel is a vertical panel on the front of an executive desk that covers the knee well from outside view — it prevents visitors seated across the desk from seeing under the desk where cables, personal items, and leg position might otherwise be visible. Most executive desks include a fixed modesty panel as a standard feature; some open-leg designs omit it for a more modern look. Modesty panels also reinforce the desk's structural rigidity and provide a surface for cable management attachment.
