Does this provide a support in the middle of the desk or just the corners? I'm concerned that the top will flex and sag with much force or weight.

There is no support in the middle of the desk, but this has not presented a problem to me. I am using the workbench as a support for a table top router system and it is working fine. I am using a second one to support a "college size" refrigerator and again no problem.

For the middle and bottom shelf, the support is just around the edges. But for the top shelf, you put a 2x4 diagonally across from top of the lower left leg to the top of the upper right leg. (You can screw it in place, but I didn't.) Then you add the top surface (I used 3/4" plywood). The 2x4 fits into slots on the leg pieces; it is installed so that the 2" edge of the board barely touches the plywood top. The workbench seems really sturdy to me; we have been using it a lot during our house remodeling project and I haven't noticed any sagging or flexing at all.

A 2X4 is laid diagonally and floats underneath the top it provides more than enough support. I stood on top in the center at 260 lbs.

I purchased this and so far has been very good. I would make sure you have a pretty strong desk to support it though as all the weight is clamped on. It has a small piece of foam rubber on the to but I added another small piece to make sure it didn't scratch the top. I wasn't overly concerned on the bottom where it clamps on I am also using 2 -27 in and 2-25 inch monitors with it.

I don't happen to keep heavy stuff on this desk so I really don't know. The legs are thin so I am guessing that the weight capacity is not too great.

Plenty sturdy for any monitor or other home computer equipment. I need to lean on mine to access my corner lamp and have never felt that it was any thing but solid. Now I would not stand or dance on the desk, but I feel secure leaning on its with my 200 lbs. Like someone else mentioned I would not put a lot of weight on the keyboard shelf, but if you don't lean on the drawer it will never warp. It is plenty strong for a keyboard and mouse.

The basic setup for it is to be clamped to something. I am not sure of the material that you have on the side of your desk, but the bottom portion of the clamp could be omitted and instead you drill holes through the side of your desk to then bolt it through the side instead of clamping to the top. If you do that make sure that the desk material is substantial enough to hold the weight of the stand and your monitors. If not, it would be easy enough to add a waste board inside your desk to spread the weight and make it stronger.

I think this supports quite a lot of weight. I believe that it tells you that in the description. It does come with a shelf at the bottom, too. The bottom shelf would not hold as much as the top. However, as the other reviewers have stated, it is a solid stainless steel table and would hold quite a lot of weight!

There is a clamp connecting the platform to the surface, and it is pretty secure. In the several months since I bought mine, it shifts slightly some.. But never falls off. I would assume unless the mouse is very heavy it would support it.

I do not know how much weight the top will hold. We have filled our desk with the usual items, electronics, books, paperwork, etc and it is holding up well. No bending on the shelves at all. It's a very sturdy and solid desk. We quite happy we chose this particular model.

It is thin, but it is fairly rigid. I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you planning to have it extend beyond the desk over open space to the wall? If so, how far? If you are talking an inch or so, it would probably work.

This desk is very sturdy, but not very big. I only use it as a work surface for one on one skill testing with my students in the classroom. I think it can handle the weight of your monitor.

Yeah, the desk is super solid. I have a bunch of stuff on it. Nothing too heavy of course but I have a 24" monitor and a 21" monitor on it. I'm not concerned at all about the sturdiness.

I sent mine back. It would hold the weight of my 23" all-in-one desktop on the wall, but the articulating swivel would not hold it in the correct position. I would slowly sag until it completely dropped forward.

I can't guarantee that it won't do those things, but it seems very sturdy to us. We have that portion full of writing and drawing materials and the entire desk sits on a thick carpet. We can roll the roll-out portion easily. We did not experience the issue of collapsing in on itself that the other reviewer mentioned.

Deb, thank you for your question! The desks have strong aluminum legs that can easily support 75 pounds. We do do have customers who use a dual monitor stand on these desk. Please let us know if you have any other questions. All the best, Stand Steady

Patricia...it may be used standing or lying flat...a "plus" for many users, I'd say, especially if you need to save space on a desk top!

I don't have anything incredibly heavy on here; however, because it uses the wall as support and has pretty sturdy legs I'd say quite a bit of weight wouldn't be an issue. I love this desk!

It is not that strong. I think if you bent over, it could break. It works great as a stand for it on the desk. Hope that helps.
