  • Patent number: 9125485
    Abstract: A lightweight portable and adjustable computer table that can be located on the top of an existing office desk or table for standing computer use and be adjustable in monitor and keyboard height. The lightweight portable and adjustable computer table is dual adjustable in that both the monitor shelf and the keyboard shelf adjust in height independently to achieve ergonomically correct and comfortable positioning. By folding the table top by the means of a hinge, such as a piano hinge, against the back support member and folding the leg assemblies together, the keyboard tray can be attached for convenient storage and be easily transported using a carry handle.
