Are you using the desk as a stand up desk? If so, what length did you get and how sturdy does the desk feel? Can you lean on it safely?

No. not really using this desk as a stand up, and I got the 48 x 24. But it is very sturdy, It will not break unless you practice karate chops on it or if you sit on it and weigh +320 lbs. This is not press wood or thin bars. It will last you for a very log time. And if you are buying this for you son/daughter. As they grow up...You can raise the table to there height. So leaning on it, will not be an issue, IMO!

Hi! The stand is quite sturdy. I've had no problems with it. I use it on my lap, and it's fine. The keyboard will fall off if you let the bottom fall down, etc., but if you're just sitting there typing, it stays in place.

This one looks a lot smaller than the one I bought, so it's probably sturdier. I don't think I'd use it as a desk though cause I would lean on it. But if you don't do that it should work. I did a vendor event this past Saturday and my friend had one similar to this - it was sturdy

My desk was definitely sturdy enough since I took care in putting it together. If you follow the instructions it will definitely survive an exited young guy. Good luck!

The answer from Laurie was correct. I did want to tell you how awesome this desk is. It's very sturdy it doesn't take up a lot of space. It has plenty of room to sit underneath & the keyboard tray works great and it's sturdy too. Then assembly was easy and I did it myself but I decided not to put that top shelf on and the desk is very spacious on top now. I love this desk!

I sit at an architects drawing table that is at standing height. It has so many adjustments that you are bound to find a combination of settings that are just right for you. The one concern I had was for stability when leaning clear back - not to worry. It has five legs/rollers and it is Very sturdy. I feel like I could jump on it (I really haven't tried it! No sense pushing your luck) and it would stand the abuse. I absolutely love mine.

First let me say that I love this workstation. It was far more heavy and sturdy that we were expecting. I have it installed in my office where we used an "L" kitchen countertop mounted to the wall as the desktop and the installation was perfect. I feel you would need a very strong and stable foundation to mount to, I don't believe a free standing desk would be strong enough as the workstation would make it top heavy and likely pull it over. Hope this helps!

I don't think it's a matter of sitting or standing. Think of it as a mini-desk on top of your full-size desk. Even in a fully collapsed position, you won't be able to sit down and use it. I take mine completely down off my desk or push it all the way forward and then put my monitor, keyboard and mouse back down on my full desk. I usually do that routine twice a day. The whole process takes me two minutes. Make sure you buy a anti-stress pad for your feet and legs too.

Harold: Bought my unit two weeks ago and just installed it last night. My desk too is up against a wall... and it works just fine. As you expand the unit for standing, the legs stay put on your desk but the monitor platform moves forward... so a wall is no obstacle. That help?

Divermartin, did you end up purchasing this for your standing desk? Did you find that you could use it with the desk or was it too intense a workout to use at a desk?

I can't remember how tall honestly, i know that doesn't help much. I didn't even put it on though because it didn't feel like it would be secure. When i was putting it together the boards cracked and the screws poked through. Its a nice little desk as long as you put it together gently.... i remember when i held the printer stand on the desk it took up a ton of room which is another reason i didn't put it on. I know this doesn't help much though.

The desk will be fairly stable. Those parts aren't required for structural support, though the bottom shelf is nice for assembly purposes (alignment reasons). I also don't recommend moving it after assembly if you can avoid it. It's not the sturdiest desk, but it's good for everyday use. Hope this helps

The two legs are of heavy construction and wrigh quite a bit. Plus angling the monitor on both sides inwards gives it stability....other it is more prone to fall backwards. There is also a vice clamp that can be used to secure it to desk. I am using a glass desk so I am unable to use clamp but have had no troubles.

Yes, it's a great desk for a laptop or even a desktop. Very sturdy too. I set up my compound miter saw on it and it does very well, no shaking even when sawing 2x8's! I have no problem sitting at it, although you don't have the room you'd have with a desk, it's still a good desk as your legs do/can easily fit under it.

Is the desk about an inch thick? Based on how I've seen this product attach, I would say there is a very good chance that you will be able to use this. I would be cautious on the weight of the monitors. Meaning: Let's not push it to the max. I've seen very similar mounts work fairly "cheap" desks.

This is a very sturdy laptop desk. I have been very happy with it and highly recommend it. I don't think it would have any problem at all with handling a heavier laptop. I anticipate this desk lasting for years.

Yes, you could use it as a stand-up desk. I got it for my 10 yr old grandson, who prefers to stand at a desk. I, also, got him a high-seated stool. Works well either way.
