Embodiment Construction

[0012]The apparatus has a top piece or platform 1 which folds down over the folding sides 2. The platform can be made of any substance typically used for flat working surfaces; examples include wood, particle board, plywood, machined wood, melamine, metal, aluminum, and plastic. The top piece articulates with the back piece 3 via an extension on top of the back piece 4. This extension allows the top piece to fold flat over the side pieces.

[0013]The side 2 of the device is a structure that supports the platform and can be comprised and made of the same or different materials as the desk platform. The sides of the device articulate along the back of the side via hinges with the back of the device. The sides of the device fold inwardly to become parallel planes with the back of the device when closed. The side of the device can be in the form of a leg or numerous legs or planes of material that can support the weight of the platform. The sides can have many holes in them for various re...
