1. A collapsable work stand configured to be deployed to hold electronics of a user during use of the electronics, the stand comprising:
a base structure configured to support the stand upon a generally horizontal surface during deployment of the stand, the base structure having a front end and a rear end, the front end facing toward a side of the stand at which the user is positioned during use of the electronics and the rear end facing opposite the front end;
a first stanchion having a distal end and a proximate end opposite the distal end, wherein during deployment the proximate end of the first stanchion is secured by the base structure with the first stanchion extending upward away from the base structure to the distal end such that the first stanchion tilts away from the user during use of the electronics;
a second stanchion having a distal end and a proximate end opposite the distal end, wherein during deployment the proximate end of the second stanchion is secured by the base structure with the second stanchion extending upward away from the base structure to the distal end such that the second stanchion is generally parallel with the first stanchion;
a first platform configured to hold at least a portion of the electronics during deployment;
a first platform height adjustment mechanism configured to hold the first platform in a generally horizontal position along the first stanchion and the second stanchion above the base, the first platform height adjustment mechanism being adapted so the horizontal position of the first platform is adjustable along the lengths of the first stanchion and the second stanchion between the proximate ends and the distal ends;
a second platform configured to hold at least a portion of the electronics during deployment; and
a second platform height adjustment mechanism configured to hold the second platform in a generally horizontal position along the first stanchion and the second stanchion above the base, the second platform height adjustment mechanism being adapted so the horizontal position of the second platform is adjustable along the lengths of the first stanchion and the second stanchion between the proximate and distal ends;
wherein:
the first platform height adjustment mechanism includes two openings of the first platform that allow the first stanchion and the second stanchion to pass through respectively; and
borders of the two openings of the first platform are lined with a material such that friction between the material contacting with the first stanchion and the second stanchion secures the first platform in the generally horizontal position.
