Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf, HPL Smoke Quarkstone

Elevate your lectern or workstation with the Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf in HPL Smoke Quarkstone. This durable, no-pinch shelf adds essential surface space exactly where you need it, then folds neatly flush against the lectern when not in use. The blend of a high-pressure laminate (HPL) finish—specifically Smoke Quarkstone—offers a professional, modern look that resists fingerprints, smudges, and everyday wear. Designed for busy environments—from classrooms and conference rooms to worship spaces and training facilities—the L5 shelf is built to withstand constant use while preserving clean sightlines, cable routes, and a polished aesthetic. Its thoughtful engineering minimizes interruptions during presentations, ensuring presenters stay focused on content rather than equipment logistics.

• Space-adding functionality with no compromise on clean lines. The L5 Flip Up Shelf expands your surface area without increasing the footprint of your lectern. When you need a place for a laptop, notes, or a pointer, simply swing the shelf into position to create a stable, reliable work surface. When the session ends, fold it back and it sits flush with the lectern face, maintaining an unobstructed, professional appearance for speakers and audiences alike. The result is a versatile, multi-use space that adapts to dynamic presentation needs while preserving the elegance of your setup.
• Durable HPL finish for everyday use. The Smoke Quarkstone HPL surface is designed to handle the rigors of high-traffic environments. HPL, known for its hardness and resistance to scratches, stains, and moisture, keeps the shelf looking new even with frequent handle-and-use cycles. The finish hides fingerprints and minor smudges, so the shelf maintains a crisp, professional look between cleanings. Easy to wipe down with a damp cloth or light cleaner, the shelf remains visually consistent with surrounding furniture, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your lectern or podium.
• No-pinch design and smooth, reliable operation. Safety is built in with a no-pinch mechanism that reduces the risk of finger injuries during quick flips or frequent use. The hinge and support system are engineered for a calm, quiet operation, providing confidence when presenters adjust the shelf in the middle of a session. The flip action is engineered to stay stable under typical usage, so you can position devices and documents with one hand without worrying about unexpected movement or slippage. This thoughtful design makes the L5 shelf ideal for classrooms, studios, and corporate environments where focus and safety matter.
• Flush-mount profile with ergonomic alignment. When folded, the shelf lies completely flush with the lectern, ensuring uninterrupted sightlines for audiences and a clean, professional silhouette. The flush profile helps reduce glare and visual distractions, while the shelf’s edge treatment minimizes cable snags and accidental catches. This design makes it easy to route cables behind the shelf, preserve tidy cable management, and keep the workstation area organized during talks, panels, or demonstrations.
• Versatile compatibility and professional finish. The L5 Flip Up Shelf is specifically designed for Middle Atlantic L5 lecterns and compatible configurations, delivering a cohesive look and dependable performance. The Smoke Quarkstone finish pairs well with contemporary interiors, media tables, and control rooms, creating a cohesive aesthetic across equipment racks, lecterns, and public address setups. Whether you’re outfitting a classroom, a training center, or a conference space, this shelf adds functional value without compromising form, making it a practical upgrade for existing installations or new builds.

How to install Middle Atlantic L5 Flip Up Shelf, HPL Smoke Quarkstone

• Prepare the installation area: Verify that your lectern or compatible surface has the appropriate mounting points for the L5 Flip Up Shelf. Ensure you have the correct tools on hand, such as a screwdriver or drill, and that the workspace is clear of debris. Confirm that you have access to any mounting hardware that accompanies the shelf or that your existing hardware matches the mounting requirements.
• Position the shelf: With assistance if needed, align the flip-up shelf with the designated attachment points on the lectern. Check clearance around the hinge area to ensure there is no interference with cables, display screens, or other equipment when the shelf flips into place or folds away.
• Attach the mounting hardware: Secure the shelf to the lectern using the supplied hardware or the hardware that matches the mounting pattern. Do not overtighten fasteners; tighten until the shelf feels securely mounted and remains stable in both the folded and extended positions.
• Test the mechanism: Gently flip the shelf into the working position, then return it to the flush, closed position. Verify smooth operation, a firm seating when closed, and no unusual movement or binding. If resistance occurs, recheck alignment and fastening points to ensure proper clearance and flush mounting.
• Finalize cable management and usage: Route any cables or devices onto the shelf, keeping cords organized and out of the hinge path. Confirm that the shelf’s surface is clean and free of obstructions before use. Regularly inspect the hinge and mounting points for signs of wear and tighten or adjust as needed to maintain performance.
