A height-adjustable stand unit including a main surface assembly configured to support computing equipment. The stand unit includes an upper frame coupled to the main surface assembly, a lower frame adapted to rest on a work surface, and a scissor-lift elevation mechanism disposed between the frames. The scissor-lift assembly comprises two pairs of elongate arms in crisscross configuration with pivotal connections at central pivot points, enabling stable vertical adjustment of the main surface assembly for ergonomic positioning.

A stand for supporting a computing device is provided. The stand may support the computing device at a height such that a screen of the computing device is capable of being at or near eye-level of a user. The stand may include a frame member and a gripping mechanism attached to an end of the frame member. The gripping mechanism may secure the computing device to the stand.
