The assembly includes wheels at its lower end with the upper end including an upwardly telescopical handle assembly for manually moving the frame on its wheels. A desk-top shelf is pivotally connected to an opposite side of the frame near its top end and is adapted to pivot outwardly and upwardly to a generally horizontal position to provide a support surface for supporting a lap top computer or the like. A telescoping support strut is attached to the desk-top shelf for providing additional support thereto in conjunction with a deployable foot.
