A panel construction includes a core having opposing surfaces, top and bottom edges, and first and second side edges. A surface material covers the first edge surface and extends to the top edge. A side edge material covers the first side edge and extends to the top edge. A top edge material covers the top edge and extends to the first side edge. A glass support notch extends through the top edge material and into the core. The notch extends through the first side edge of the core, and the side edge material on the first side edge covers the glass support notch on the first side edge. A channel rail is inserted into the glass support notch, and a glass panel is inserted into the channel rail, with a portion of the glass panel extending above the top edge material.
