Adjustable table system

A method of adjusting an angle of a work surface relative to a reference plane, comprising the steps of:

• providing first and second offset members respectively comprising first and second offset edges, first and second engaging surfaces, and a first spacing wall extending between the first offset edge and the first engaging surface;
• fixing the reference plane relative to the first offset edge of the first offset member;
• fixing the work surface relative to the second offset edge of the second offset member;
• attaching the first and second offset members together such that the first engaging surface is in contact with the second engaging surface and the first and second offset members can rotate relative to each other about an offset axis but cannot otherwise move relative to each other, where the first and second spacing walls are sized and dimensioned to create first and second offset angles between the first offset plane and the first reference plane;
• and
• rotating the second offset member relative to the first offset member to adjust the angle.
