Features of the new line include:

  • Locking casters and stable table legs to make worktops steady;
  • No-bounce sliding and safety mechanisms; and
  • Vertical storage capability.

A variety of height options exist with ratchet tables offering 13 total height settings in .78-inch increments, while spring pin tables can go from 24- to 30-inches-tall in one-inch increments. The pneumatic floating option is adjustable between 26 and 43.7 inches.

A motorized option offers height adjustment at the push of a button, the ability to save three specific heights, and adjustment speed of 1.97 inches per second. An ergonomic tabletop can be set between 26 and 45.7 inches for a total range of adjustment of 19.89 inches.

Available connectivity options include a Villa power data port that features two RJ45 data connectors and two 110VAC power connections and wire management is accomplished via a cable pass-through.

The flexibility allows for use by students in wheelchairs or by students and staff who wish to collaborate on foot around a shared table, for example with art or science projects.
