Abstract

A vertically adjustable desk with an under carriage mounting system is described. The vertically adjustable desk may have a planar work surface and telescoping support legs which are operable to raise and lower the work surface. The vertically adjustable telescoping support legs may be height adjustable by at least one electronic motor. The under-carriage mounting system may include a first and a second U-shaped support bracket that each receives a first and second runner support, the U-shaped brackets affixed to respective first and second vertically adjustable telescoping support legs. The U-shaped support brackets may be used to mount accessories underneath the work surface.
