Oak-Veneered Reading Top, Rear Shelf and Steel Base

18 mm Oak-Veneered Plywood

The top and upright joinery use 18 mm oak-veneered plywood with a clear matte finish. Fine plywood edges, the grain and corner joints retain one accepted woodwork reference.

Sloped Surface and Front Document Ledge

The main top is 600 mm wide and 450 mm deep in horizontal plan. Its front reading surface is 1050 mm above the floor and its rear surface 1150 mm, with a 20 mm-high retaining ledge at the lower front edge.

Rear Shelf and Steel-Weighted Base

One rear open shelf keeps presentation materials within the upright body. A 500 ×400 ×25 mm steel-weighted base and small floor pads form the main support footprint below the oak joinery.

Three Sloped Reading-Top Footprints

Three top footprints share the front and rear reading-height datums.

600 ×450 mm Main Reading Top

The main footprint carries the 1050 mm front and 1150 mm rear reading-surface datums. The 100 mm rise runs across the 450 mm horizontal depth.

500 ×400 mm Compact Top

The compact top reduces the writing footprint while retaining the same front/rear heights. Its document ledge, shelf and supporting joinery are coordinated with the smaller surface.

700 ×500 mm Wider Top

The wider footprint provides a 700 mm reading width and 500 mm horizontal depth. It retains the 100 mm front-to-rear rise, with the same 18 mm plywood requirement.

Reading Height, Floor Placement and Storage Access

Use the Reading-Surface Height Datums

Front and rear heights are measured vertically from the finished floor to the sloped reading surface. The 20 mm front ledge rises above the lower surface; the 1150 mm rear reading edge establishes the overall top-height basis.

Coordinate the Base with the Floor

The main 500 ×400 mm base sits within the reading-top footprint. Floor pads, base plate, upright fixing and the final placement/handling arrangement are detailed together for the intended room.

Retain Rear Shelf Access

The room plan identifies the speaker side and open rear shelf. The order sets shelf level, usable opening and any separate microphone, cable or identity-graphic provisions against the lectern body.
