Sliding & Lockable Rail System.
Sliding & Lockable Rail System.
(OP)
Hello, I am designing an adjustable standing/sitting desk. I want it to be wall mounted because I want to optimize leg space. The problem I have encountered isn't the desk itself, but rather how I could get the desk to slide up and down the wall with a rail system that locks. I don't need and fancy electric systems, and I won't move it more than 3-4 times a day. I just need a reliable easy to use and relatively inexpensive rail system that I would be able to lock. Ideally it would be around 4 feet in length. But something in that range would do just fine.

Thank you

You should also consider the highly likely case where someone will sit or stand on the desk top, even though they are instructed not to. The supports and positioning system should be designed to handle such an event.

As for the moving, the railing isn't the problem, per se; it's more of an issue with keeping all parts of the assembly level, which could be accomplished with some sort of cable system. Then, some sort of rack and pinion crank to raise and lower the system.
