Abstract A video display terminal stand for supporting a video display and keyboard for independent vertical and tilt adjustment comprising a pair of side walls (12, 14) rigidly joined together and having on inside surfaces elongated slots (72) with upwardly-projecting fingers (74) defining coves (76) in which are received vertically spaced bushings (104) on a bracket (98) which is secured to a keyboard surface (96) for adjustably supporting a keyboard. One set of vertically spaced tube openings (82) on each side wall (12, 14) inner surface receives bushings (116, 124) which are secured to a front portion of a video display support panel. Another set of vertically spaced tube openings (82) on each side wall (12, 14) inner surface receives bushings (152, 158) on an elongated support tube assembly (148) to support a rear portion of the video display support panel.
