Middle Atlantic Technical Furniture, Consoles & Lecterns

Lecterns, control-room consoles, 24/7 seating, mobile furniture racks and rackmount monitoring — furniture designed around equipment.

Technical furniture is furniture that has a rack inside it. Middle Atlantic's line covers L2, L5 and L7 lecterns including ADA-compliant motorized models and turret frames, Forum display stands and side-cart racks, MFR mobile furniture racks that roll between rooms, rackmount LCD monitoring consoles with integrated KVM, and ContourFreedom 24/7-rated control room seating. Everything shares the same rack geometry and finish language as the rest of the Middle Atlantic catalog.

• Ventilation planned for enclosed equipment compartments
• ADA-compliant and height-adjustable options for teaching and presentation spaces
• 24/7-rated seating for control rooms where a chair is in constant use
• Rackmount consoles put a monitor and keyboard in the rack without a desk

Choosing Technical Furniture

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the lecterns ADA compliant?

Specific models are, including motorized height-adjustable versions that meet reach-range requirements for seated and standing users. ADA compliance is model-specific — confirm the exact part number rather than assuming it applies across the series.

How much equipment fits inside a lectern?

It varies by model, but lecterns in this line include internal rack rails sized in rack units. Total your equipment RU and check it against the model's internal capacity, and remember to leave space for ventilation and cable.

What makes a chair rated for 24/7 use?

Higher-cycle mechanisms, heavier-duty foam and upholstery, and a weight rating specified for continuous multi-shift occupancy. A standard office chair in a command center fails within a year, which is why the rating exists.

What is a rackmount LCD console for?

It puts a monitor, keyboard and KVM switch into one or two rack spaces so a rack can be operated locally without a desk or a rolling cart. Useful in equipment rooms, control rooms and secure spaces.

Can technical furniture be moved between rooms?

MFR mobile furniture racks are designed for it — furniture-grade finish on a rolling frame with rack rails inside. Check the loaded weight against the caster rating and confirm door widths on the route.
