The high-strength melamine construction keeps your load steady even after repeated deployments, so you can focus on delivering content rather than worrying about equipment failure.
• 21" width for ample workspace: A spacious surface that accommodates common presentation gear while leaving room for cables and adapters. The generous width strikes a balance between offering enough room for devices and preserving the compact profile needed to fit on many lecterns, podiums, or multimedia stations.

The knotted maple aesthetic complements wood-based interiors and maintains a polished look in studios and classrooms. Melamine surfaces resist scratches, stains, and everyday wear, helping the shelf maintain its pristine appearance through heavy use.

This feature reduces clutter on busy lecterns and keeps cables organized, preserving a clean, distraction-free presentation area for both instructors and students.
• Pre-drilled installation holes for easy mounting: Simplified installation with precision alignment thanks to pre-drilled holes on lectern sides.

How to install Middle Atlantic L2 Series Flip Shelf

• Unpack the shelf and verify that you have the included mounting hardware and templates. Place the shelf beside the lectern or cabinet to plan alignment before drilling or mounting.
• Position the shelf so that the flipped surface will clear the top edge of the lectern and reach the desired working height, typically 2–3" from the top surface as specified. Use the pre-drilled holes as your guide for precise placement.
• Mark the mounting holes on the lectern sides using the shelf’s hole pattern as a template. If needed, pre-drill pilot holes according to the hardware instructions and the lectern material. Use appropriate drill bits to prevent splintering on wood finishes.
• Attach the shelf securely using the supplied hardware. Tighten hardware evenly to ensure the shelf sits flush and operates smoothly in the flip-up position.
• Test the flip action and confirm that the shelf deploys cleanly and retracts without interference. Verify that the shelf remains level and that the document camera or other equipment sits securely on the surface during use.
• Reconnect any cables and verify that equipment is comfortably positioned for operation. If necessary, adjust cable management to maintain a neat setup with minimal obstruction during announcements or demonstrations.
