A balance and stability system for use by an individual who is required to maintain a standing position for a prolonged period includes a balance reference and support pad positioned to contact the individual at their shins while standing at a work station, which balance and support pad is mounted on a support structure including an elongate support arm such that the pad is at the proper vertical and horizontal location to provide a balance point of contact with the individual's shins and, yet, a completely open space is provided between the pad and the floor to thereby allow for free movement of the individual's feet forward, backward, and side-to-side.

A desk includes a top defining a working surface, at least one pair of opposed supporting legs supporting the top above a floor, and a swinging footrest assembly pivotally connected to at least one of the supporting legs. The swinging footrest assembly is selectively removable from the desk and can be selectively positioned at a plurality of vertical positions with respect to the floor.

A table apparatus includes first, second, and third work surfaces. The second work surface is pivotable with respect to the first work surface at a first pivot axis, and the third work surface is pivotable with respect to the first work surface at a second pivot axis that is parallel to and spaced apart from the first pivot axis. The table apparatus can include a controller configured to control a lighting device positioned between the first work surface and the second work surface and/or third work surface.

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 table assembly can include a table top, a post assembly coupled at one end to an underside of the table top, and a base assembly operatively coupled to an opposite end of the post assembly and configured to support the table top on a floor surface. The table assembly can include one or more racks disposed above the base assembly and arranged about the post assembly. Each of the one or more racks defines an opening between the post assembly and a cross-bar of the rack configured to receive an elongate platform therethrough for storage. Optionally, the table assembly can have a height adjustment mechanism actuatable to adjust the height of the table top above the floor space.

An adjustable desk has base members or sidewalls supporting the desk on a surface. Each sidewall has at least one support movably vertically relative to the sidewall. A tabletop is disposed above the base member and is supported on the supports. A footrest is disposed between the base members beneath the tabletop and can move between a back position toward a back of the desk and a front position toward a front of the desk. One or more mechanisms operatively couple to at least one of the supports and to the footrest. The one or more mechanisms move the at least one support vertically relative to the base member to raise and lower the tabletop relative to the sidewall. Likewise, the one or more mechanisms move the footrest between the back and front positions. Preferably, movement of the footrest is coordinated with the movement of the tabletop so that the footrest moves to the front position when the tabletop is raised for standing and moves to the back position when the tabletop is lowered for sitting.

A foot support platform has a foot rest plate mounted pivotably on a housing of the foot platform. The lower face of the foot rest plate is supported by a spring. A mechanical detent device locks the foot rest plate in a pivot position. The foot platform is further provided with a remote-controlled mechanical locking device for engagement with the mechanical detent device. There is also described a desk having a foot platform.

A smart office desk interactive with the user, defined on the basis of an individual work desk (M) and various hardware and software elements applied to it and whose main hardware components comprise a working desktop divided into two zones, one which can be raised at an angle, motor-driven legs which raise and lower the desktop, a footrest tray and a series of sensors integrated into the desktop structure and in the legs. The smart office desk learns from the user by machine learning algorithms, and proposes physical actions in accordance with what has been learned. The table collects information from the user concerning their postures and working habits, using various physical sensors, and by their interactions with the software application displayed onscreen. It is thus a table controlled by a computer system which receives data on the user and the working environment as inputs. The system's outputs take the form of recommendations made to the user, automatic implementation of actions on them, and statistics the user can consult about their daily work.

An improved computer stand is an elevated computer support surface that allows users to comfortably stand, if desired, while taking up much less space than conventional computer desks. Fabricated of a durable wood material with a strong, metal-based support stem, this product would be adjustable to heights ranging from forty-two to sixty-two inches (35-62), and would feature a large surface width of thirty inches (30). The improved computer stand would have two (2) tiers. The top section would be a flat rectangular piece that could easily support a laptop or computer monitor. The second tier, which would be tucked underneath the top space, would be hinge connected and adjustable in height. A footrest, attached at the base of the support stem, would offer a height adjustable place to relax the feet should one choose to sit on a tall stool or chair while working.

An electric height adjustable desk with synchronous moving footrest, method of use, and a rotatable footrest assembly. The desk comprises: a desktop; two electric height adjustable desk leg members; two horizontal base members; and a rotatable footrest assembly. The rotatable footrest assembly comprises: two footrest frame members; two pivot spring connection units; and a rotatable footrest unit comprising a U-shaped foot bar member connected on each end to a pivot spring connection unit. Each spring connection unit comprises: a gas spring; a tension member; and both are connected to a pivot plate member. The tension member and the gas spring work together to rotate the footrest unit to a horizontal position while the desktop rises, and to a vertical position while the desktop is lowered. The tension member may further comprise an extension member to delay rotating the footrest unit until the desktop has reached a selected height.
