1. A desktop workspace that adjusts vertically, comprising:
a work surface platform;
a slidable tray selectively positionable between a stored position under the work surface platform and an extended position that is outward and lowered with respect to the work surface platform,
a base configured to sit on an existing platform; and
a height adjustment mechanism connecting the work surface platform and the base, the height adjustment mechanism including:
a set of pivot arms that connect at a scissoring pivot point creating a scissoring motion when raising and lowering the work surface platform to various heights;
a base pivot point fixed relative to the base and connecting the base and the set of pivot arms;
a platform pivot point fixed relative to the work surface platform and connecting the work surface platform and the set of pivot arms;
a sliding mechanism on an end of an arm of the set of pivot arms between the end of the arm and either the work surface platform or the base; and
a gas spring that assists in elevation of the work surface platform by applying a force to rotate one of the set of pivot arms as part of the scissoring motion,
wherein one end of the gas spring is fixed to the work surface platform,
wherein the gas spring acts as a locking device that holds the work surface platform at various vertical heights above the base, and
wherein the gas spring is under the work surface platform and above the existing platform.
