1. A workstation including a height-adjustable work surface, comprising:
a frame configured to couple with the height-adjustable work surface and including a frame coupling feature, wherein the frame coupling feature includes a frame feature profile having a first inclined surface; and
a leg assembly configured to selectively attach to and detach from the frame, the leg assembly including:
an adjustable-length leg configured to support the frame;
a housing coupled to the leg; and
a leg coupling feature defined by the housing, wherein:
the leg coupling feature includes a leg feature profile having a second inclined surface;
the leg feature profile is complementary to the frame feature profile; and
the second inclined surface is configured to selectively engage with the first inclined surface to inhibit displacement of the leg relative to the frame and bias the leg assembly toward one or more of the frame or the height-adjustable work surface.
