It was a proper professional one he picked up cheap at an auction. It made a great desk as it had total adjustability. It could be raised / lowered and tilted to any position simply by unlocking a small lever and moving it. Plenty of height for using while sitting or standing and very easy for the next user to adjust and no call for expensive electric actuators. The movement action was very smooth as it had good swivel joints and a big countrer-balance out the back. Well worth considering as an option, although it might take a little modification to limit the tilt angle ...you could loose a pc monitor very easily if you overdid the tilt!
