Modular workstation

A kit for a workstation, comprising:

• a main body including at least two support structures rotatably connected to a central post at an upper connection joint and a lower connection joint of the central post, the central post defining a vertical axis of the main body, the support structures configured to alternate between an opened position and a closed position by rotating about the vertical axis, the support structures having free ends defining a top surface and a bottom surface, at least one of the support structures having a projection extending outwardly from the top surface, and a plurality of feet disposed on the bottom surface;
• and
• a platform having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having elongated ridges that are configured to receive the top surface of the support structures when in the opened position, the platform further having an aperture formed therethrough from the lower surface to the upper surface and configured to receive the projection on at least one of the support structures when in the opened position, the projection and the aperture each configured to ensure a correct orientation and placement of the platform on the main body,
• wherein the platform is also configured to be stowed within a storage area defined by the support structures when the support structures are in the closed position, the platform having at least one clamp on the lower surface that is configured to interlock with the central post.

A method of interlocking multiple workstations comprising:

• providing two workstations, each workstation having a main body including at least two support structures rotatably connected to a central post at an upper connection joint and a lower connection joint of the central post, the central post defining a vertical axis of the main body, the support structures alternate between an opened position and a closed position by rotating about the vertical axis, the support structures having free ends defining a top surface and a bottom surface, at least one of the support structures having a projection extending outwardly from the top surface, and a plurality of feet disposed on the bottom surface, and a platform having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having elongated ridges that receive the top surface of the support structures when in the opened position, the platform further having an aperture formed therethrough from the lower surface to the upper surface to receive the projection on at least one of the support structures when in the opened position, the projection and the aperture each configured to ensure a correct orientation and placement of the platform on the main body, wherein the platform is stowed within a storage area defined by the support structures when the support structures are in the closed position, the platform having at least one clamp on the lower surface that is configured to interlock with the central post,
• wherein the platform has a sidewall disposed around a periphery of the platform, and wherein the upper surface and the sidewall of the platform has a recess formed therein for receiving at least one insert connector to secure the platform to another platform;
• placing the two workstations adjacent to each other, wherein the recess of one of the workstations is adjacent to the recess of an other of the workstations;
• and
• inserting the insert connector into each of the recesses, whereby the two workstations are secured to each other and together form an enlarged work surface.
