Abstract

An adjustable height table is provided including a panel forming a worksurface, and a pair of telescopingly adjustable legs attached to the panel for supporting the panel. Each telescopingly adjustable leg includes a first member connected to the panel and a second member slidingly engaging the first member and extendable from the first member. Apertures in the first and second members align as the worksurface is positioned at each of a plurality of selectable heights. The apertures are irregular in shape, and an L-shaped locking pin is extendable through the apertures and axially rotatable so that the locking pin is securely lockingly engages the apertures to thus securely hold the adjustable leg in a desired selectable height. One or more C-shaped covers is releasably attached onto the telescopingly adjustable leg, one of the covers when assembled to the leg preventing inadvertent dislodgement of the locking pin.
