These users generally require a lighted work platform, a tool or instrument support, a comfortable adjustable seat, a storage area for equipment such as tools, an adjustable footrest, shelf to temporarily place equipment, a means to support equipment such as, microphones, tuning devices or a telephone. The equipment is mounted to a base platform equipped with mounting receptacles that allow the user to arrange, adjust, and select suitable equipment for a particular application and in a preferred arrangement. The base platform is essentially a single member with receptacles for equipment mounting. A seating bench with storage unit is centrally located with respect to the mounting receptacles. Floor glides are mounted on bottom extreme ends. Disassembly simply requires removing the receptacle mounted equipment.
