Adjustable Computer Desk
It is generally acknowledged that working on an adjustable
computer desk or ergonomic workstation with inclined work surfaces set at an
appropriate height is preferable to working on a flat surface with no height
adjustment. See our section on ergonomic for more
information.
Our adjustable computer desk features
multiple independently work and equipment surfaces designed to fit people of
any height. No matter what size you are, your keyboard, monitor and printer or
scanner will be at the ideal height distance and angle to you for
comfortable & productive computing.
The key work here is independent. While
many desks claim to be adjustable, these adjustments are seldom independent of
each other. And, many times only one or two surfaces have any adjustment at
all. Also consider the range of adjustment. Do the ideal
positions for you fall within this range?
But most people still work off flat, non adjustable
surfaces. Why?
Working ergonomically is easier said than done, and has
required development of technology to solve a number
of problems, which we discuss below.

Height Adjustment
The Pull Out Work Surfaces are inserted into the
Stationary Slides that are attached to the Legs with screws. Each of the 4
Legs of a have screw holes drilled from top to bottom at 1 1/4" intervals.
By removing 2 screws, each Stationary Slide can be repositioned at a
different height on the legs, thereby adjusting the height of the Work
Surface.
Holes in the Slides are offset. To adjust the height of the Work Surface
in 5/8" increments, the Slide is flipped over and reattached as in the
photos on the right.
Equipment surfaces (like Monitor Shelves, CPU Bars and Shelves, etc. are
attached to the Desk and adjust for height in a similar fashion.

Pull Out Worksurfaces
Both Worksurfaces pull in and out.
Either can be pulled completely out, and repositioned at a different work
position.
While in use, Worksurface can be
extended about 18". With this extention, and clearance under the Front
Rail, leg room is nearly unlimited.

|
Tilt Mechanism
Both Large and Small Worksurfaces can
be tilted about 50 degrees positive or negative.
Worksurfaces can also be used flat.
Changing angle takes about 10 seconds, and no tools are required.

Storage Tray
Most people use their desk tops for storage as well as work area. However,
if you are going to work on an inclined surface, some place for all the
items normally sitting on top of your desk, must be found.
Our solution is the Storage Tray, which is mounted just under the Monitor
Shelf. Items you ordinarily place on your desk top can be placed here, and
accessed immediately for use.

|
Stop Bars
But you can't place everything in the storage tray. Items like mice,
keyboards and the object you are working on may be located on a tilted
worksurface.
Our solution is the Stop Bar. 2 are supplied per desk, and are mounted to
the worksurface with Velcro for easy repositioning as your tasks change.
Newer desks may have adjustable "Stop Rods" instead of
these Stop Bars. They accomplish the same thing.

A
special note to tall people and short people
Almost all office furniture we've seen has been designed for
average sized people. In many cases, tall people or short people are just plain
out of luck. But there is no such thing as an "average" sized person. "Average"
is really nothing more than a mathematical abstraction. That is why we have
designed our computer desk / ergonomic workstation to fit real people, no matter
what size they are.
