A height adjustable table can include a plurality of legs, a lower portion, a worksurface, a height adjustable surface, and a linkage. The worksurface can be supported by the plurality of legs and can include a fixed surface and a height adjustable surface. The fixed surface can be secured to at least one of the lower portion and the plurality of legs, and the fixed surface can define a recessed portion. The height adjustable surface can be movable between a raised position and a lowered position so that the height-adjustable surface retracts into the recessed portion when in the lowered position so that the height adjustable surface is coplanar with the fixed surface. The linkage can be configured to move the height adjustable surface between the lowered position and the raised position so that the height adjustable surface remains parallel to the fixed surface.

Embodiments of a side deployable keyboard tray systems that may include a height adjustment system. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

A desk within a work surface or table such that the desk can be raised and lowered to any desired position in relation to the work surface using an actuator that controls the use of telescoping legs or rods. During the process of returning the desk back to its original flush, or in horizontal seamless alignment with, the rest of the work surface, a knee action safety device co-acts, or in combination, with a gas spring is used for controlling the lowering of the desk and creating a virtually weightless of desk during final descent; thus, eliminating the possibility of a person's limb or hand being crushed or severely injured, even if these are providing obstruction.

A desk includes a base and a work surface assembly mounted on the base. The work surface assembly has a board and a leg having opposite ends connected to the board and the base. The leg has an inclined section and a straight section, and the board has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. A distance between the first end of the board and the straight section of the leg is greater than that of between the second end of the board and the straight section of the leg. The boards of the work surface assemblies are arranged in a row or two rows of a matrix. Therefore, the work surface assemblies are combinative to be mounted on the base to have various layouts of the boards.

A multi-tiered work arrangement includes stacked horizontal planar surfaces that have footprints that enable stacking of the planar surfaces to provide work surfaces that are easily accessible to a user in both a sitting and a standing position. A first work surface can have a wide end and a narrow end, and a second work surface can have corresponding narrow and wide ends. The wide end of the first planar surface is substantially equivalent in length to the narrow end of the second planar surface such that the work surfaces can be stacked in use, providing two unobstructed work surfaces at different heights.

A height-adjustable work station includes (a) a partition wall having an internal wall frame and axially opposed first and second exterior wall surfaces mounted to the wall frame, the first and second exterior wall surfaces spaced axially apart by a wall thickness; (b) a carriage support located within the wall thickness and mounted to the wall frame, the carriage support including a vertical track; (c) a carriage mounted to the carriage support in sliding engagement with the track; (d) a work surface assembly movably supported by the carriage on a first side of the wall; and (e) a linear actuator mounted within the wall thickness and coupled to the carriage, the actuator configured to vertically translate the carriage along the track for facilitating height adjustment of the work surface assembly.

Described herein are apparatuses (such as desks) with adjustable top panels. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a frame, having a movable component that is configured to move upwards and downwards. The apparatus also includes: a first top panel attached to the movable component and configured to move upwards and downwards with the movable component, and a second top panel attached to the frame and aligned parallel to the first panel, so that the first panel is adjustable to be flush with the second panel or adjustable to a level above the second panel. The apparatus can also include a barrier panel attached to the frame or the first panel, arranged perpendicular to the first and second panels and oriented downward from the first panel at a side of the first panel closest to the second panel.

Apparatuses, tables, and method of making the apparatuses and tables are disclosed for stowing and expanding a desk device. An exemplary apparatus, in one embodiment, includes a frame, a first surface slidably received by the frame in a horizontal plane between and including a stowed position and an expanded position, and a second surface slidably received by the frame between and including a stowed position and an expanded position.

A collapsible standing desk, including a first platform to receive at least one first item thereon, the first platform including a first section, and a second section movably disposed on at least a portion of the first section to move toward the first section in a first rotational direction, and away from the first section in a second rotational direction opposite with respect to the first rotational direction, a second platform connected to the first platform to receive at least one second item thereon, the second platform including another first section, and another second section movably disposed on at least a portion of the another first section to move toward the another first section in the first rotational direction, and away from the another first section in the second rotational direction opposite with respect to the first rotational direction, and a base connected to the first platform and the second platform to support the first platform and the second platform thereon while disposed on an external surface.

A table arrangement includes connection mechanisms for inter-connection of height adjustable tabletops so that the tabletops are independently moveable in a stable way. Embodiments of the table arrangement can be configured so that different height adjustable tabletops can be arranged to accommodate different users' preferences. Some embodiments of the table arrangement can utilize at least one cross-member connection mechanism connected to at least one column connection mechanisms 20.
