A stand (10) for a monitor (14) and a keyboard (18), which can be used to hold a computer monitor (14) and a keyboard (18) so that a human operator may comfortably use the computer in a variety of positions, including sitting in a conventional chair and standing. The stand (10) includes two shelves (12, 16), each of which is attached to a post. The posts (20, 24) are then attached to a base (22). One shelf (12) is designed to hold a monitor, while the other (16) is designed to hold a keyboard. The keyboard shelf (16) itself is tiltable about its post (24), such that the angle between the keyboard shelf and its post is adjustable. Both the post (24) attached to the keyboard shelf, and the post (20) attached to the monitor shelf, are independently extensible, such that the length of each post, and hence the vertical position of each shelf, can be adjusted independently. The post (24) attached to the keyboard shelf is also pivotable about the base (22), such that the angle between the post and the base, as well as the horizontal distance between the keyboard shelf and the monitor shelf, is adjustable.
