Abstract: The invention relates to a computer table element (1), comprising a body (2), a sliding keyboard panel (3) having an extended working position and a retracted storage position, a bearer (9, 10) mounted pivotably on the body (2) for supporting a flat-panel display (11) in various positions, and a front wall (6) beneath the keyboard panel (3). The keyboard panel (3) has its movement transmitted by a pivot joint (4) to the front wall (6) and by swing arms (5a, 5b) to the display bearer (9, 10), such that the front wall (6) and the bearer (9, 10) swivel towards a vertical plane as the keyboard panel (3) travels from the working position to the storage position. This results in more leg room under the table.
