Abstract
A multi-function drawer for a desk that provides multiple and adjustable platforms (easel, gaming, and sliding) to mount gaming devices, a keyboard, books, papers, or other objects in use at a desk or workstation. These separate and rotatably platforms allow several items to be attached to a drawer for use at the same time and multiple positions for the platforms to maximize a desk or workspace.
