Workstation

A workstation comprising:

• a tabletop comprising a work surface;
• a support structure for supporting the tabletop, the support structure configured to position the work surface at a vertical distance above a support surface, the support structure comprising:
• a plurality of fixed-length, columnar support posts, each support post having a longitudinal axis extending in a vertical direction from a lower end to an upper end and comprising a first plurality of vertically-spaced annular grooves in an outer surface of the support post;
• and
• a support post mounting system configured to vary the vertical distance of the work surface above the support surface, the support post mounting system comprising:
• a tubular post sleeve disposed over the outer surface of the upper end of each support post, the tubular post sleeve being fastened to the tabletop at an upper end of the tubular post sleeve, the tubular post sleeve comprising a hollow, conical inner surface that tapers inwardly from a first inner diameter near a lower end of the tubular post sleeve to a second inner diameter near an upper end of the tubular post sleeve, wherein the second inner diameter is less than the first inner diameter;
• a tubular post collar disposed near the upper end of each support post and around an outer diameter of the support post, the tubular post collar comprising a cylindrical inner surface having a first raised annular rib engaging one of the first plurality of the annular grooves in the outer surface of the support post, and a conical outer surface that tapers inwardly from a first outer diameter near a lower end of the tubular post collar to a second outer diameter near an upper end of the tubular post collar, wherein the second outer diameter is less than the first outer diameter;
• wherein each of the tubular post sleeves engage a respective one of the tubular post collars with a wedge fit to secure the support post mounting system to the support posts and position the work surface at the vertical distance above the support surface;
• a riser system comprising:
• first and second riser brackets, wherein the first riser bracket is attached to the tabletop at a first side of the tabletop and the second riser bracket is attached to the tabletop at a second side of the tabletop;
• first and second fixed-length, columnar riser support posts attached to a respective one of the first and second riser brackets, each riser support post extending vertically upward from the respective one of the first and second riser brackets, each riser support post comprising a second plurality of vertically-spaced annular grooves in an outer surface of the riser support post;
• and
• first and second riser post collars disposed around an outer diameter of a respective one of the first and second riser support posts, each riser post collar comprising a cylindrical inner surface having a second raised annular rib engaging one of the second plurality of the annular grooves in the outer surface of the respective riser support post, and a conical outer surface that tapers inwardly from a third outer diameter near a lower end of the riser post collar to a fourth outer diameter near an upper end of the riser post collar, wherein the fourth outer diameter is less than the third outer diameter;
• and
• a storage or accessory device supported above the work surface by the riser system.
