Abstract

A workstation includes a countertop having a substantially planar upper surface below which extends an upstanding post that defines a substantially vertical axis. Further arranged under the countertop is a drawer that is interconnected to the upstanding post through a set of rail members. The set of rail members includes a first rail member fixed to the drawer and a second rail member which is slidably interconnected with the first rail member. The second rail member is further rotatably mounted to the upstanding post such that a drawer can slide between extended and retracted positions and also pivot about the vertical axis of the post. The drawer includes a handle which extends across both front and side wall portions of the drawer to enhance maneuvering of the drawer to a desired position.
