Embodiments include an apparatus for positioning items such as an electronic display, a keyboard, and/or a work surface. The apparatus can be attached proximate an edge of a generally planar support member to provide a multi-position workstation. In some cases the apparatus includes a display mount coupled to a support column and configured to support an electronic display and a keyboard. The support column may be movable with respect to support member between a sitting position and a standing position. Methods for positioning an electronic display and a keyboard are also included.

In a table having a height-adjustable table top and supporting structures, the table top is secured on the supporting structures so that the supporting structures support the table top. The supporting structures are placeable on a floor. The table includes at least one band which connects the supporting structures and the table top to each other, so that the table top is supported by the supporting structures in that it hangs at the supporting structures with the aid of the band. The table permits a simple, convenient, quick and precise adjustment of the height of the table top according to the needs of the respective user of the table.

A table with a height-adjustable table top, supporting structures and at least one strap that connects the supporting structures and the table top together, so that the table top is supported by being suspended by the strap on the supporting structures. The table includes a mechanism for manually adjusting the height of the table top that includes a winding disk rotatably mounted relative to the table top, and a spring element non-positively connected to the winding disk, wherein the strap is connected to the winding disk. The table top is adjustable between a lower height in which the strap is minimally wound onto the winding disk and an upper height in which the strap is maximally wound onto the winding disk. The spring element is maximally tensioned when the table top is at the lower height and is minimally tensioned when the table top is at the upper height.

A band brake suitable for use with height adjustable tables and configured to selectively grip and release a lift band utilized by the table's height adjusting mechanism to raise and lower the work surface. The band brake may include an eccentric roller configured to move between a band-engaged position and a band-disengaged position. A release lever is connected to the eccentric roller and configured to transition the eccentric roller between the band-engaged and the band-disengaged positions. A linkage system is connected between the brake housing and the release lever, whereby the linkage system counteracts torque created by a release spring operating on the release lever.
