Claim 20:
21. A desktop workspace that adjusts vertically, comprising:
a work surface platform;
a base configured to sit on an existing platform;
a height adjustment mechanism connecting the work surface platform and the base, the height adjustment mechanism including:
a first set of pivot arms including a first pivot arm and a second pivot arm that connect at a first scissoring pivot point creating a scissoring motion when raising and lowering the work surface platform to various heights;
a first base pivot point fixed relative to the base and connecting a first end of the first pivot arm to the base;
a first platform pivot point fixed relative to the work surface platform and connecting a first end of the second pivot arm to the work surface platform;
a first sliding mechanism between a second end of the first pivot arm and the work surface platform;
a second set of pivot arms including a third pivot arm and a fourth pivot arm that connect at a second scissoring pivot point creating the scissoring motion when raising and lowering the work surface platform to various heights;
a second base pivot point fixed relative to the base and connecting a first end of the third pivot arm to the base;
a second platform pivot point fixed relative to the work surface platform and connecting a first end of the fourth pivot arm to the work surface platform;
a second sliding mechanism between a second end of the third pivot arm and the work surface platform; and
a pair of springs to assist in elevation of the work surface platform by applying forces to rotate the set of pivot arms as part of the scissoring motion, the pair of springs including a first spring with a first end of the first spring fixed relative to the work surface platform, and a second spring with a first end of the second spring fixed relative to the work surface platform,
wherein the pair of springs, the first set of pivot arms, the second set of pivot arms, the first base pivot point, the second base pivot point, the first platform pivot point, and the second platform pivot point align side-by-side when the desktop workspace is in a fully lowered position such that the desktop workspace adjusts vertically; and

a locking device that holds the work surface platform at various vertical heights above the base, wherein the locking device includes a handle that disengages the locking device once pressure is applied by a user.
