2 questions: Does desk wobble while typing? And re: unfolded panel, is it sturdy, can you put weight of your arm on it while holding mouse?

I've had mine for about 3 months now and I haven't seen any wobble even when I'm typing a little harder than normal (frustration does that to you). I tend to lean on my mouse hand a little and haven't noticed any issues. The fold out wing doesn't sag and the table itself doesn't get off balance even when I lean a little hard on the mouse side with no weight on the other side for counter balance. It's very sturdy.

Anything with a single metal pole is at last a bit wobbly. This one is certainly so. The sides are ok for a little weight though. In our office this one was mostly set aside, though.

I have it on a carpeted surface. It does not wobble. I often work with my arm on the foldout panel and my elbow resting on the arm of a chair. It is very sturdy. The only complaint I have about the desk is that it is difficult to adjust the height. But once you get it in place, it is a good, solid work surface. I have been very happy with it.

I do not use this desk anymore. I have had issues with the leaf coming off, and after my desk was put together it was not level.

I use my table in an art studio so do not use it for typing, but I think it would wobble a bit. When opened, it is a little unstable.

It depends on how hard you type, I use an Apple - Mac Pro - Quad-Core Intel with a 21" AOC monitor and keyboard I have no movement. I use the left side panel for storage and the right side for my mouse and actually as a table for my dinner plate.I don't think you will be disappointed. I have used mine since June 2013.

It does not wobble while typing and you can put weight of arm using a mouse. One thing to note if your pc is wider than 16 inches it does not fit with the arms open

It does not wobble while typing. You can put a mouse on it, but it is not sturdy enough to lean your arm on it. I noticed your user name has dr in it. This was purchased for a dr and he hates it. It is too short for him (he is 5'10"), it does not push well from room to room and feels very cheap.

No they're not sturdy enough, it's even too shaky to hold my wireless keyboard steady since it's heavier than wired keyboards. It may be because my computer chair has curved arm rests, but I even have to stay mindful of the mouse so it wouldn't fall off every time I let it go.

When placed on a desk with the legs deployed in a 'Z' configuration it is quite solid unless one would lean heavily on it. I'm 5'4" and I could easily type on the laptop standing up by the desk. The stand could be raised quite a few inches higher for someone taller and still remain fairly solid. I've uploaded a photo showing my installation over my Logitech Momo sim racing wheel.

It does wobble. There is a slight crown to the back surface. I notice it when I type on it when it is lying on my desk. The one that I had on my 4 did not wobble. It is still worth the purchase!

Believe it or not--yes. I just brought my laptop down to try it out. There is a slight wobble but that's possibly because i don't have the laptop secured in the straps, etc. I just set it on top. I'm not sure this would replace my standing desk/ledge, because it's not completely motionless, but it does completely hold a laptop sturdily enough to type. I hope that helps! (and note, the laptop in question is fairly heavy--older vintage MacBook Pro, fwiw.)

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

I think I can say yes even on my carpet.But it wriggles a lot when I type on my keyboard.If your com is heavy... I sternly recommend you to go with more expensive one or desk that does not have rollable feature.I think the four rolls on the bottom cause this wriggle.I will try to take them away and place direct on the carpet.But eventually I will use rollable feature quite often for I need to move around my mac for late night job.Hope this could be help to you

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.

I think it would totally handle that weight. I have an extremely heavy laptop, external monitor, keyboard and mouse on mine and it's great. (all told probably around 21 lbs.) It's very sturdy. I really love this desk. It has saved my back and I feel so much more productive through the day.

I've had no problem with this desk at all. the roll out portion seems to be fine. I use this desk as a nightstand that holds my computer a very large monitor and the pull out part holds the keyboard and mouse and i stash my glasses and remote control at night. it's a nice desk.

In the standing position, the keyboard is on the same surface as the monitors. I thought the same as you, that the keyboard would be way too high, but it actually is quite comfortable. Both keyboard and mouse work well in the standing position. I purchased a wireless mouse and keyboard so I could easily move them when raising and lowering the desk. This desk is very sturdy, so I'm sure you could easily mount a keyboard tray if you wanted. But I would try as is first and see if it works for you. Hope this helps.

Not as is. You'll need to get a tray of some sort to support the weight. It's meant for another keyboard, but you could rig it for a laptop if needed

I've put weight on mine while doing light tasks (surfing, email etc.) but also a little more aggressive video games on Steam. Both supported on a table with me leaning forward on it. But also unsupported with my laptop being in my lap on a couch and the mouse tray in the air off to my side. For the record. I've used mine as a daily staple since Dec 27th for at least 8 hrs a day. I keep it in my bag which gets tossed between my trunk, my house and my parents house while I've been taking care of them the time I've had it.

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 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 is very stable. I too have been known to hit the keyboard a tad to hard and have never had a problem with it.
