1. A height adjustable table assembly system comprising:
- a worktop;
a frame supporting the worktop;
at least one integrated height adjustment subassembly integrated into the table assembly and adapted to cause worktop elevation adjustment;
a user interface including at least one user input control for receiving manual direct selection from a workstation user to initiate worktop elevation adjustment; and
a processor programmed to store multiple elevation positions and to perform the steps of, while the worktop is at a current elevation position;
upon sensing a quick multiple upward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop upward to a one of the stored elevation positions located above the current elevation position; and
upon sensing a prolonged activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to change worktop elevation while the prolonged activation persists.

14. A height adjustable table assembly system comprising:
-
a worktop; a frame supporting the worktop; at least one integrated height adjustment subassembly integrated into the table assembly and adapted to cause worktop elevation adjustment; a user interface including at least one user input control for receiving manual direct selection from a workstation user to initiate worktop elevation adjustment; and a processor programmed to store multiple elevation positions and to perform the steps of, while the worktop is at a current elevation position; wherein the worktop is positionable in a second stored elevation position that is below the first stored elevation position upon sensing a quick multiple upward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop upward to one of the stored elevation positions; and upon sensing a prolonged upward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move worktop elevation toward the one of the stored elevation positions while the prolonged upward activation persists; upon sensing a quick multiple downward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move the worktop downward to another of the stored elevation positions; and upon sensing a prolonged downward activation of the interface, controlling the height adjustment subassembly to move worktop elevation toward the another of the stored elevation positions while the prolonged downward activation persists.
