A mounting stand for a cathode ray tube display screen and a keyboard work station includes a base having a screen platform mounted between two sides. A fixed copy support surface is also mounted between the two sides in front of the screen platform and is inclined downwardly. A movable copy support surface is hingedly mounted to the fixed copy support surface for moving between a use position and a nonuse position. In the use position, the copy support surface is at substantially the same angle of inclination as the fixed copy support surface so that a substantially continuous supporting surface is provided for copy material. In the nonuse position, the movable copy support surface is angled with respect to the fixed copy support surface. A suitable mechanism is provided for holding the movable copy support surface in the use position with the keyboard in front of the movable copy support surface during use.
