Height-adjustable work table

A height-adjustable work table comprising:

• a support frame comprising at least one telescopic column having at least one support slidably displaceable in said telescopic column;
• a table top connected to said support;
• a weight-compensating device comprising at least one force reservoir and a pulling cable for adjusting the height of said support;
• a force-compensating device connected to said weight-compensating device;
• said force reservoir having a first and a second end, wherein said first end of said force reservoir is connected to said support frame and said second end is connected to said force-compensating device;
• said weight-compensating device cooperating with said force-compensating device such that for displacing said support the effective leverage of said force-compensating device is adjustable such that a counterforce generated by said weight-compensating device is at least partially compensated;
• and
• wherein said force-compensating device has at least one adjusting element and a tensioning cable, wherein said adjusting element comprises a support element for supporting said tensioning cable.
