Abstract

A lightweight, sturdy, mobile computer workstation having an upper frame attached rotatably to a lower frame. An upper shelf support is attached foldably, slideably, and rotatably to the upper frame. A lower shelf support is attached rotatably and foldably to the lower frame. The upper shelf support can fold onto the upper frame, and the upper frame can fold over the lower frame, to make the unit very compact, suitable for easy transportation in a car.
