A desk includes a tabletop and at least one base member supporting the tabletop. A footrest is disposed on the at least one base member beneath the tabletop. The footrest is movable between a stowed position toward a back of the desk and a deployed position toward a front of the desk. At least one mechanism is disposed on the at least one base member and operatively coupled to the footrest. The at least one mechanism moving the footrest between the stowed and deployed positions. A floor mat is disposed with the footrest. The floor mat is movable with the footrest between a stowed mat position and a deployed mat position.

A folding support structure includes a top support and a leg assembly. The top support has a pivot connector and an assembler, wherein the assembler has an assembling surface. The leg assembly includes a column, which includes a pivotally connected end, a free end, and a wing. The column is pivotally connected to the pivot connector of the top support with the pivotally connected end thereof, whereby the column is pivotable relative to the top support. The wing of the column has an abutting surface. When the column pivots to an unfolded position, the abutting surface of the wing contacts the assembling surface of the assembler, and is secured thereto through a fixing connection approach. By folding a top and legs of a desk, the total volume could be reduced, benefiting the cargo capacity utilization, which therefore increases the shipping efficiency. Furthermore, such a desk can be easily assembled.

A modular linear actuator and a height adjustable desk. The modular linear actuator comprises an actuator body module and a motor box module, the motor box module is detachably mounted at an end portion of the actuator body module, and the motor box module outputs the power of a motor to the actuator body module by means of a transmission device. The height adjustable desk comprises a desk plate, a desk frame, and the modular linear actuator. The desk frame is mounted on the actuator body module of the modular linear actuator. The modular linear actuator can be detached and recycled when being scrapped, which reduces the recycling cost and prolong the service life of a product. The motor box modules having different motor models are matched and combined with a plurality of actuator body modules. It enables the use of fewer product types to satisfy more performance requirements.

A telescopic lifting column (1) preferably for furniture, such as height adjustable tables and beds, and comprising at least two mutually telescopic members (2,3,4) and an electric drive unit (5, 10;41,42) for adjusting the telescopic members. The lifting column comprises a telescopic cable guiding device (22;45, 58, 80, 103) for guiding at least one electric cable (29), where the telescopic cable guiding device extends between or in all essentials between the lower and upper end of the lifting column and is connected thereto so that the telescopic cable guiding device collaborates in the telescopic adjustment of the lifting column. Thus the cables may be guided in a protected manner.

A device that prevents the self-adjustment of a leveling glide for the tubular legs of various types of furniture, including tables and chairs, is disclosed. The device comprises a threaded insert for a furniture leveling assembly that includes a polymeric washer secured to the bottom of the threaded insert. The polymeric washer is aligned with the axis of the internally threaded of the threaded insert and has a hole diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the externally threaded stem of the leveling glide.

An automatic height adjustment system includes an adjustable desk frame, a first drive assembly operable to control a height of the adjustable desk frame, an adjustable monitor mount, a second drive assembly operable to control a viewing height of the adjustable monitor mount, a transceiver, and a first controller communicatively coupled to the first drive assembly and to the transceiver. The first controller is configured to receive, via the transceiver, a first communication based on the detection of a position of a user from a computing device and to transmit, via the transceiver, a second communication to the first drive assembly to control the height of the adjustable desk frame and movement of the adjustable desk frame and the adjustable monitor mount are synchronized such that an adjustment of the height of the adjustable desk frame causes a corresponding adjustment of the viewing height of the adjustable monitor mount.

A variable height platform system comprises a tabletop, a frame assembly for supporting the tabletop, a drive mechanism, a sensor, and a controller. The drive mechanism is configured to set a height of the frame assembly and the tabletop in an elevated position for use. The sensor is configured to sense position and movement of a user in a predetermined area including an area of the variable height platform system and an area proximate the variable height platform system. The controller is operatively connected to the sensor and drive mechanism. The controller is configured to operate the drive mechanism in response to the sensor sensing the position and movement of the user in the predetermined area.
