has anyone tried this as a standing station ? i essentially need a laptop table to work standing due to back issue.

I use this station as a standing station. I am 5"6" and I must use the folded top and it is still a little short. I will never understand why they do not have it move up another 8 inches to allow most people to use it as advertised. It does work alright for me. If you are much taller, I would hesitate to think it may work.

I have not used it as a standing station, but it certainly could be. Just be aware that if you're using a mouse, it has to be on one of the open flaps, it won't fit along with your laptop in the center section. So if you wanted to use it with the flaps closed, you couldn't use a mouse.

Have not tried it. It adjusts to 36 in. Techni mobile makes another one with storage that adjusts to 44 that you might consider. The quality of this one is decent, I do not know about the other.

Yes I use it attached to the side of a wooden table/desk, the vertical height adjustment should allow you to work standing. (I have mine set fairly low, as I mostly need to swing my laptop in and out of the way). The height of my desk is about 30 inches (just over 76 cm) and the vertical pole of the stand goes up another ~17 inches (~43 cm). So (adjusting for the size of the brackets) as long as you can comfortably use something around 45 inches (~ 114 cm), I would think it would work for standing use.

This mounts to a pole, it is great for rolling stands, or I suppose if you would have a desk with round legs exactly the right size. Also with the extra pivot arm I would not suggest this for a very large laptop if you ever type on it since out that far it is not the most stable.

It is very sturdy. I have even moved the table it was on while DJing with little to no sway. As for comfort it depends on the table you are setting it on. The angle it holds it at would put the keyboard of most laptops at an angle similar to a normal desktop keyboard propped up on it's back risers. I think it's fine.

I tried to do that ...it's not the sturdiest ...there isn't much room on desk top - and nothing sits too stable. Really only for an 18 inch computer, even a 23 inch would be too large for the top - it wouldn't sit stably. I think if the top was not shaped the way it is, maybe square, it would work better for a standing desk. I like some of the design in general but the materials are crap. the veneer is like a skin of soft plastic stretched out over the particle board. I had a cup of tea on the middle shelf and the heat warped the plastic so it had a lose skin look to it.

I occasionally stack two closed laptops on it and some books. In fact I have found that I use this table more for a holding and charging station for all mobile devices. I don't roll it around to use from different chairs and couches like I thought that I would. Hope this helps. Debra Lam

If you weren't set upright, this desk would be too tall. If you were comfortable reaching up to type, the adjustable easel could be used to place the laptop at an angle, but it may be awkward if you were lying flat on your back.

I bought two of these for my nieces to take to college. They are wonderful as a lap desk. But I don't think it would work well as the monitor stand. First, the top section is slightly angled for easier typing. Second, this stand is used by basically sitting on it with the vertical piece between your legs. That is what gives it it's stability. If it were me, I would look for a more suitable monitor stand. Hope this helps!

No I definitely haven't. I don't think it would be best to use it as a laptop/tablet holder the metal sometimes pops out of the plastic and isn't sturdy.

I am actually using it as a standing desk with my computer on my sitting desk level. That said, I think if you either mounted the screen(a) the way they show it in the picture or have it against a wall so you can push your monitor (or iMAC) back as far as you can, it works just fine. I love mine!

I think it can handle the weight as it's very sturdy but remember the top is only about 19.5" deep and 35" wide so space will be the issue. I have a 17" notebook and it takes up 1/2 the top space. Little room left for keyboard when a cpu is also on it. The height adjustment for a notebook was the reason I got it which works well for me. I used to have a desktop and this wouldn't be large enough for that in my opinion. The table is great for me but I might suggest looking at all the available options you have that would be a little larger.

I have only used the rectangular stands (30336). We put the laptop under the stand and the monitors above the stand. The rectangular stands would bounce as you type. The triangular stands may be more stable.

I used my laptop on the raised side, while the mouse was used on the flat side. It was great to use and worked very well. (I was in a hospital bed with a broken ankle and this table had many uses.)

I tried this position, but it does not work for me. I rarely take off the keyboard and prefer to use the table almost as a netbook.

You would have to buy two; the large one and then the mouse. It's two separate units. The mouse attaches to the side of the table. That would bring up two cons though, the table is only about 12" deep, most laptops would hang off the back edge about an inch. Also a 17" laptop would likely be between 5 and 7 lbs, that would make it a little tipsy especially if the legs are extended to higher positions. I wouldn't be sure it's a good solution in that environment but it's possible. (If you click on the mouse model for size and also the color, you should be able to see it with the mouse accessory attached and a sample laptop placed on top)

Ira, did you end up getting it and using for a desk/workstation? If so, please let me know your thoughts. It's my understanding you can make it level, which I think would be more comfortable and make it slower. Thanks!

Probably wouldn't balance very well on the lower legs, but it might slide in between them. I have a Toshiba 15.5" laptop that barely fits. But since it just sits there, I can live with it. Otherwise, it's a GREAT product. What you might do, is pick up a piece of plexi-glass, cut it to fit under there, and hot glue it in place. It's an ugly work-around, but it would most likely work. I'm just happy I was able to free up a ton of space on my desk, and raise the monitor up as well.
