A system for adjusting the height of a workstation for use by a user, the system comprising a frame, a worktop having an upper work surface, the worktop being vertically slidably attached to said frame and selectably adjustable in elevation to different positions including at least a first standing position and at least a first sitting position and a processor tracking a first duration of time that the worktop is in at least one of a standing position or a sitting position and generating ongoing statistical data associated with the first duration on an ongoing basis by comparing the first duration to a time period as the user is using the workstation during an ongoing prolonged period of time.

Disclosed is a workstation intended in particular for use in an office environment, including a work surface supported by at least one support with a set of feet, the workstation being intended to be placed directly on the ground, the work surface having an angle to the horizontal plane, wherein the angle is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 4.

A lifting mechanism for desk including a first bracket, a second bracket, and at least one lever assembly is provided. The first bracket includes a first plane. The second bracket includes a second plane. The lever assembly is connected between the first bracket and the second bracket so that the first bracket moves close to or moves away from the second bracket through the lever assembly, and the first plane is tilted relative to the second plane when the first bracket is away from the second bracket. The lever assembly includes at least two levers, and lengths of the at least two levers are different.

The invention relates to an electrically adjustable piece of furniture comprising an electric drive motor for adjusting as least one furniture adjusting section with respect to a furniture support section, wherein the piece of furniture comprises sensor devices for detecting the inclination or the change of inclination of the furniture adjusting section.
