May one adjust the height of a shtender on Shabbos?[1]

Yes. This may be done even if it involves loosening and tightening screws, as it is not made to last even temporarily.[2] However, some Poskim[3] are stringent to forbid doing so being that at times one does leave the Shtender in the adjusted position temporarily for a few days.
