1. A cable management system comprising:
a mounting bracket configured to be coupled to a wall support surface so that a rear wall of the mounting bracket is adjacent to the wall support surface, the rear wall including a bottom end configured to engage a floor surface and a top end;
the mounting bracket comprising a plurality of ledges extending forwardly from the rear wall in a direction away from the wall support surface, each of the plurality of ledges configured to support one or more cables;
the plurality of ledges comprising an uppermost ledge extending from the top end of the rear wall, the uppermost ledge comprising a top surface that forms an uppermost surface of the mounting bracket;
a cover member detachably coupled to the mounting bracket so that the one or more cables supported by the plurality of ledges are hidden from view by the cover member, wherein the cover member comprises a front wall that is vertically oriented and a molding portion extending obliquely rearward from a top end of the front wall, wherein when the cover member is coupled to the mounting bracket an upper portion of the front wall of the cover member protrudes beyond the top surface of the uppermost ledge so that a first cable routing region is formed between the top surface of the uppermost ledge, an inner surface of the upper portion of the front wall of the cover member, an inner surface of the molding portion of the cover member, and the wall support surface;
the mounting bracket comprising a first connection feature and a second connection feature, the first connection feature comprising a first arm protruding upwardly from the bottom end of the rear wall at an oblique angle and the second connection feature comprising a second arm protruding downwardly from a bottom surface of the uppermost ledge;
the cover member comprising a third connection feature and a fourth connection feature, the third connection feature comprising a third arm extending downwardly from the inner surface of the front wall at an oblique angle and the fourth connection feature comprising a fourth arm extending upwardly from the inner surface of the front wall at an oblique angle; and
wherein when the cover member is coupled to the mounting bracket the third connection feature of the cover member engages the first connection feature of the mounting bracket and the fourth connection feature of the cover member engages the second connection feature of the mounting bracket.
