Has anyone used this as a standup desk? I have a slab of granite I want to put on top of it at full height (I'm 5 foot 10). Would it work?

Its surprisingly sturdy. My piano is a CME UF 80 classic... 1408 x 372 x 150mm. Weight: 24.7kg. Holds that fine for me all the way up to full height. I can't imagine why granite wouldn't be held just as easily?

Of course it would, as long as the desk weight does not exceed 375 pounds. I use this stand to hold a DJ coffin and its very sturdy.

I imagine that a slab of granite needs full support all underneath, and not merely at either end. It sounds like a bad idea, because this stand would not provide support in the middle.

OK, bear with me as i am travellingcand awsy fromy desk. I can't measure. However i can do this:What is the width between your desk and wall? What is the width of your CPU? The reason I ask is that the stand works as it should, basically making it super easy to move the CPU to access the rear ports and plugs. The stand adjusts to fit the CPU size. Add about 3 inches per side (total of 6" if the brain is still working) to account for the stand. That is my best guess until I return in 10 days.

It's a sturdy stand but it's only for a sit down setup...my set isn't here, so I cannot measure the height max, but I can say this...it wouldn't be stable topped out. I do know that it def won't go high enough to stand.

I'm 5'9 and at first the bench felt a bit high, but I read a post about putting the bench into the first incline position which just slightly tips up the top and lowers the bottom of the bench and this allowed me to put my feet flat on the ground without feeling like the bench is in an incline position. If this is still too tall for you, you could place your feet on the feet of the bench which will elevate them a bit. Your best bet would be to find a place where you can try it out. I really hope this bench works for you because this is an amazing bench for the price. Their Dumbbells are next on my list of products. I am officially an Ironmaster fanboy now.

You are in luck! I measure the stand as just 24" wide, so it's an easy fit for you. By the way, the depth is 12". I can't explain how each of three answers to this question are different(!). I think it is also worth noting that the stand has four slightly-elevated legs radiating from a central point, so the feet at the end of those legs are the only contact points with your surface. If the stand was one big flat slab, then it could be stable even if slightly overhanging the surface on which you place it. Not so for this stand, but 24x12 should fit well in most places.

I would say it depends on the size of the person. My daughter, whom we bought the desk for, is now 5'9" and a going into the 11th grade. We are looking into raising the legs up because it is too low for her and she has to slouch over it when she's writing. But it's a beautiful desk!

My husband uses this desk and he doesn't have any problems with it. He's 5'10". For him, the key is having a good chair and adjusting the height so he's sitting correctly. He has two monitors on the top shelf plus two laptops on the desk part. He keeps the monitors on their pedestals without adding any additional risers. It works for him. There's a similar desk at Fry's Electronics and one at Office Depot, so you might be able to compare the general proportions of those before you buy.

If you don't have use for the printer stand don't attach it to the desk top. When you come to that step in the setup instructions skip by it and complete the desk. But don't dispose of the printer stand. Save it you might need it in the future. I myself I installed my printer stand because I have a full size printer, and it fits perfectly.I would recommend this desk to anyone. It is a good buy for the money. Plus it's backed by Amazon.

Yes if you are not a tall person, but it's a relatively small and short desk. If you are 4'11" then it's perfect as a standing desk.

Whatever the dimensions are for the stand-up desk...the legs are within that width and depth. In other words, the legs do not stick out more than the table-top itself. Eyeballing it, I'd say you have 2" to play with on each side and front to back. Hope that helps.

yes. I brought it for my son. So he uses it all the time for sitting on the couch. He does change the height for standing, but not often. If you are a jack rabbit, like me, I am always up and down, it might get tiresome. But if you leave standing to should work fine. The price is good. PS I have a rolling, adjustable standing/sitting desk with a hydralyic level, but is was $300.00. It was worth it because I was developing hip/back problems and I use the computer constantly for work.

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.

So I used a standard height vanity from Lowes, 34-35" tall. I put granite on that, then the 5" tall sink. I'm 5'6", my husband is 6'4" and this works for us. However, if I was any shorter, it would be an issue. The sink is awesome, just be sure to get a tall enough faucet. The sink does not come with a drain stopper, so if you plan to fill it with water, that will be an issue.

First consider you height and the height of you desk to estimate how high that table would have to be adjusted. If you look at the photos accompanying the product you can get an idea of the configuration that would be required. It was a little tricky finding the best setting but the construction is solid and I recommend the product. I can see it working for you.

No, I'm afraid not. The unit is much lower than it appears (check the measurements given). Even if it were taller, the supports on both sides of the center shelf are half pieces which require the bottom shelves for installation. I'm only 5'2" and I just slid my chair over in front of mine (I use it in my office for storage right next to my computer) and it would be way too low, even for me. I love the unit, but it won't work as a desk. This company does make desks though, so maybe you could check those out! Good luck and have a great day! Susan

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!
