A worksurface assembly includes a support having a first mounting portion defining a first pivot axis and a second mounting portion defining a second pivot axis, with the second mounting portion spaced above the first mounting portion. The first and second pivot axes are spaced apart. A pivot member is pivotally coupled to the second mounting portion and is pivotable relative to the support about the second pivot axis. A worksurface is rotatably coupled to the pivot member about a third pivot axis, which is spaced apart from the second pivot axis. The worksurface overlies the second and third pivot axes in all positions. The worksurface may be associated with a body support assembly. Methods of using and assembling the worksurface assembly are also provided.

1. A worksurface assembly comprising: a support having a first mounting portion defining a first pivot axis, and a second mounting portion defining a second pivot axis, wherein the second mounting portion is spaced above the first mounting portion, and wherein the first and second pivot axes are spaced apart;a pivot member pivotally coupled to the second mounting portion, the pivot member pivotable relative to the support about the second pivot axis, wherein the pivot member is pivotable about the second pivot axis to a plurality of pivot member positions; anda worksurface rotatably coupled to the pivot member about a third pivot axis, wherein the third pivot axis is spaced apart from the second pivot axis, wherein the worksurface overlies the second and third pivot axes in all positions of the worksurface, and wherein the worksurface is rotatable about the third pivot axis independent of the pivot member position of the pivot member. 2. The worksurface assembly of claim 1, wherein the pivot member comprises a link extending between the second and third pivot axis, and further comprising a lower pan member coupled to the link, wherein the link is disposed between the lower pan member and the worksurface. 3. The worksurface assembly of claim 2 wherein the lower pan member is rotatable relative to the worksurface about the third pivot axis. 4. The worksurface assembly of claim 3 wherein the lower pan member is non-rotatably secured to the link. 5. The worksurface assembly of claim 3 wherein the lower pan member comprises a first lower pan member, and further comprising a second lower pan member surrounding the first lower pan member, wherein the second lower pan member is non-rotatably secured to the worksurface and is rotatable relative to the first lower pan member. 6. The worksurface assembly of claim 5 wherein the first and second lower pan members have substantially flush bottom surfaces. 7. The worksurface assembly of claim 2 further comprising a rotation member rotatably coupled to the link at the third pivot axis, wherein the worksurface member is coupled to the rotation member. 8. The worksurface assembly of claim 1 wherein the first, second and third axes are parallel and horizontally spaced apart, and wherein the worksurface comprises a substantially horizontal, upper surface. 9. The worksurface assembly of claim 1 wherein the support comprises a laterally extending portion comprising a first end configured with the first mounting portion and a second end laterally spaced apart from the first end, an upright portion having a first end coupled to the second end of the laterally extending portion and a second end vertically spaced apart from the first end of the upright portion, the second end of the upright portion defining the second mounting portion. 10. The worksurface assembly of claim 1 wherein the pivot member defines a horizontal plane between the second and third pivot axis. 11. A body support assembly comprising: a base;a central support element connected to the base;a body support member coupled to the base; andthe worksurface assembly of claim 1, wherein the first mounting portion is coupled to the central support element, and wherein the central support element defines the first pivot axis. 12. The body support assembly of claim 11 wherein the central support element comprises a vertically adjustable support column, wherein the body support member is coupled to the central support element and is moveable between a plurality of height positions. 13. The body support assembly of claim 12 wherein the first mounting portion is moveable with the body support member as the body support member is moved between the plurality of height positions. 14. The body support assembly of claim 11 wherein the worksurface and the second mounting portion are positioned above a body support surface of the body support member. 15. A worksurface assembly comprising: a support pivotable about a first pivot axis to a plurality of support positions;a pivot member pivotally coupled to the support about a second pivot axis spaced apart from the first pivot axis, wherein the pivot member is pivotable about the second pivot axis to a plurality of pivot member positions, wherein the pivot member is pivotable to the plurality of pivot member positions independent of the support position of the support; anda worksurface pivotally coupled to the pivot member about a third pivot axis spaced apart from the second pivot axis, wherein the worksurface is pivotable about the third pivot axis to a plurality of worksurface positions, wherein the worksurface is pivotable to the plurality of worksurface positions independent of the pivot member position of the pivot member and the support position of the support; andwherein the worksurface overlies the second and third pivot axes in all of the pivot member and worksurface positions. 16. The worksurface assembly of claim 15, wherein the pivot member comprises a link extending between the second and third pivot axis, and further comprising a lower pan member coupled to the link, wherein the link is disposed between the lower pan member and the worksurface. 17. The worksurface assembly of claim 16 wherein the lower pan member is rotatable relative to the worksurface about the third pivot axis. 18. The worksurface assembly of claim 17 wherein the lower pan member comprises a first lower pan member, and further comprising a second lower pan member surrounding the first lower pan member, wherein the second lower pan member is non-rotatably secured to the worksurface and is rotatable relative to the first lower pan member. 19. The worksurface assembly of claim 18 wherein the first and second lower pan members have substantially flush bottom surfaces. 20. The worksurface assembly of claim 15 wherein the support comprises a laterally extending portion comprising a first end defining the first pivot axis and a second end laterally spaced apart from the first end, an upright portion having a first end coupled to the second end of the laterally extending portion and a second end vertically spaced apart from the first end of the upright portion, wherein the second end of the upright portion is pivotally coupled to the pivot member, and wherein the upright defines the second pivot axis. 21. A body support assembly comprising: a base;a central support element connected to the base;a body support member coupled to the base; andthe worksurface assembly of claim 15, wherein the support is coupled to the central support element, and wherein the central support element defines the first pivot axis.
