Desk and proprioceptive foot stimulator assembly
A proprioceptive foot stimulator assembly having a cross bar that connects to the leg structure of a desk. The assembly includes a bottom channel that pivotably attaches to the cross bar, and a foot stimulating member that attaches to the bottom channel, so that it can pivot in relation to the crossbar. Mounting flanges are located at the longitudinal ends of the cross bar. A pivot assembly, generating the pivotable attachment between the bottom channel and the cross bar, includes two threaded fasteners and a bushing, secured by lock nuts; the bushing connecting the first threaded fastener to the second threaded fastener, such that the second threaded fastener can pivot in relation to the first threaded fastener. In another embodiment, the proprioceptive foot stimulator assembly has at least one slider track capable of being attached to a desk and a foot stimulating member that slidably connects to the slider track.
Vertically adjustable desk with stability feature
A desk includes a desktop at a top end; a leg including an attachment portion and a foot portion, the attachment portion of the leg secured to the desktop and extending away from the desktop, the foot portion of the leg defining a bottom end of the desk; and a gas spring connecting the leg to the desktop.

TOP PANEL HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE FURNITURE
Top panel height adjustable furniture (1) includes a top panel (2) that has an upper surface (3) and a lower surface (4); a support body (5) that is connected to the top panel (2) and is capable of extending or contracting in a panel thickness direction of the top panel (2); a sensor (11) that detects contact of a user on the upper surface (3) side of the top panel (2) and contact of the user on the lower surface (4) side of the top panel (2); and a control unit that controls, based on a detection result of the sensor (11), an extending/contracting operation of the support body (5) such that the support body (5) contracts when it is detected that the user has made contact with the top panel (2) on the upper surface (3) side of the top panel (2) and that the support body (5) extends when it is detected that the user has made contact with the top panel (2) on the lower surface (4) side of the top panel (2).

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
An embodiment includes a leg height adjustment mechanism that includes a first and second latch arms, a first and second retractors, and an activator. The latch arms each include an engagement structure. The retractors each include a sloped surface and a receiving structure. The receiving structure is engaged with one of the engagement structures of the first or the second latch arms. The first latch arm extends in a first lateral direction and the second latch arm extends a second lateral direction. The second retractor is separated from the first retractor in a second lateral direction that is opposite the first lateral direction. The activator includes angled lower surfaces that are positioned outwardly relative to the sloped surfaces.
