Are the pads the same height so it will lay flat, or is one pad deeper than the other so lap desk tilts slightly?

The front pad is a little higher than the back pad so it raises it up some.

It definitely tilts a little bit, but the pads are very soft so I am able to make it pretty flat if I needed to.

Not sure. I have a keyboard with a number pad and my mouse pad and I still have a couple of inches on either side.

I'm using my laptop and mouse right now on my lap desk. Plenty of room. The lap desk sits on the arms of my chair but when I sit in a chair with no arms, the lap desk sits on my lap.

Thanks so much for your reply. I contacted Livestrong about theirs and they said that the pad itself doesn't pivot but the part it is attached to is considered to pivot, or something like that. I suspect it's the same as this one. I've read that both are very comfortable and since they are both the same I was able to eliminate it from the deciding factors between the two machines.

It has two different heights. I didn't measure them, but one is relatively low, just above the knee, and the other is like a low desk.

Depends on which one you choose. I know there is an option that can fit a thicker desk, but unsure how large it can accommodate. The most common ergo rest is the one used on a normal desk.

just turn the whole thing around, the tilt for the laptop side has about 180 degrees for choice of angle and the lip to keep it from sliding off is identical on both sides; hope this helps

If you have identical monitors they will be side by side. I have found they stand to be very stable, the only thing I have had issue with is getting the nut that controls tilt tight enough. Hope that helps!

It sits pretty much flush with the side of the laptop. Does not protrude like some others.

Both the desk and mouse portion have a wood piece that serves as a lip, at least on mine. It is a fairly substantial lip because you can tilt the mouse portion to about 70 degrees.

Yes, they are flat, but are a little thicker than "counter type" pads one buys in stores. Not a problem in my shoes, but if wearing orthotics, possible they could make your shoes a tighter fit. I'm not talking thick, just not as thin as most.

I use a mouse, not a mouse pad. It seems the computer would be heavier sitting that far to the left and be off balance. It is wide enough, but comfortably so? I don't want to guarantee it.

There is some padding on all sides. It is designed to lay flat to place the laptop inside and to take it out. The bottom is stiffer than the other sides. Hope this helps.

I think it will be. Just keep in mind that the arms on the recliner should be higher then your legs when you sit down. If they are not, the lap desk will sit on your lap not on the arm of the recliner.

Yes, you can adjust it to be completely flat or at an angle. What I did is I bought drawer liners (the non-slip grip liners people put in kitchen drawers) and place my laptop on top of it, so when I do adjust the desk to be at an angle (not too big of an angle), my laptop won't slip off. Works great to hold pads of paper in place without it slipping down too :)

My desk is only 20" deep so the Varidesk hangs over a bit on the front and the back. The design of the Varidesk works just fine with its weight evenly distributed. My desk, which is a "put together yourself" type supports the weight of my two monitors, keyboard and mouse just fine.

the mouse pad doesn't support a laptop AT ALL. It's a mouse pad. The desk (sold separately) holds up to a 17" laptop (I believe my laptop is 7lbs and doesn't strain the stand at all). The tilt has no limit - through the laptop will fall off at some point depending on the weight and angle.
