Height adjustable desk
An adjustable desk with a desk platform and at least one leg that is configured to support the desk platform and allow a user to adjust the height of the desk platform. Each leg has a base and a support. The base has a first upper pivot, a first lower pivot, a second upper pivot, and a second lower pivot. The support is coupled to the desk platform and has a top pivot and a bottom pivot. Each leg also has an upper linkage and a lower linkage that each joins the base to the support through a first link and a second link pivotally coupled to the first link. The first links are coupled to the base and the second links are coupled to the support. The second links are pivotally and slidably coupled to the base at the second upper pivot and the second lower pivot, respectively.
