Can you stand at your desk, raise both the laptop &amp; monitor and work on the Laptop and the whole things doesn't shake?

It is very well made but I do not think it would not shake. I tested it and it works ok but it would shake too much.

Hi Ruthie, yes, you will be able to make the monitor touch your desk if you'd like, if it clears the front, you can get the bottom a little lower. It also tilts back quite a bit, so you can pull it down and then tilt it back, this arm is very nice, I have 3 of them!

I do not believe that you can move the keyboard up and down without raising of lowering the entire desk. As for the monitor - I believe depending on the size of the monitor as long as less than 24 inches you may be able to riase or lower by about 1 to 2 inches - the value of the workstation is that it is ergonomically made to mount onto your desk.

For me it is bit low for the monitor and bit high for the keyboard. I put my laptop on it anyway and work that way sometimes but from an ergonomic stand point it is not ideal.

Yes you can..... Actually I have but I mounted the monitor on desk mount so that there is no pressure on the bottom of the monitor. There are small screws that attaches the clear plastic to the monitor.

At the highest setting, the bottom of the monitor is ~10 inches from the desk. I did put my laptop under it to test, and it is possible.

Well the pole from the bottom where the clamp is and up to the top where the top bracket is, about 29 inches and yes the brackets can be moved up or down as well as tilted. As for an laptop with an 20'inch monitor that is using the VESA mount, it an nice setup on an small dorm style desk, the monitor is up near where the top bracket is and the 2nd lower one is off hiding in an closet, the laptop is pretty much sitting under the monitor near the pole, I have an logitech keyboard and mouse in front of the laptop and it pretty much that my whole in the kitchen computer setup. I have an larger computer setup in the bedroom that I use for may game streaming fun, but the kitchen one just an easy one with the chrome book laptop that I use for google such as hangout.

That wont be necessary, once you have accomplished the appropriate angles to create a sturdy stance nothing is going to fall.I stand all day but on occasion I sit. I simple bring my keyboard down to my desk and move my monitor to the keyboard tray which is perfect eye level for me I am 5'7.

sure hold up the laptop, but if you trying to moved away from you ,it's unstable and your computer may fall

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It will withstand the weight but it won't be stable (unless the laptop screen is closed).

No. The problem, I think, is your desk is unstable. These pads are used to cushion sound equipment and not helpful for "shaking" as you described. A monitor stand might make the shaking even more pronounced.

Yeah, the desk is super solid. I have a bunch of stuff on it. Nothing too heavy of course but I have a 24" monitor and a 21" monitor on it. I'm not concerned at all about the sturdiness.

The cable mounts would not interfere with moving it, however, moving it can be problematic. The monitor is held in place with a clamp that is constricted via a bolt that is tightened/loosened with a hex key. You'd have to loosen the bolt, move the monitor, tighten the bolt, each time you wanted to move it up or down. You can do it, but I would think something more like a desk mount lcd arm would be better suited to the task that you described.

You may be able to mount it upside down, but it was so wobbly that I returned the item. Also, the computer that rested on it was too heavy for the laptop holder part - leaned badly to the side which was quite uncomfortable for the user. I bought it originally for an office environment and we use Dell Latitude laptops. I suppose if you are using a small, lightweight notebook computer it might be ok. I opted instead for a monitor arm and purchasing another, very simple laptop stand at Walmart.

Yes, in concept. In reality, might be a bit crowded on the platform; I use a notebook/laptop and works great. You would want to clamp or secure the monitor so it doesn't topple off. And would need to be a smaller keyboard probably.

Good question. You might need to weight the table. It would depend on how the weight compares. Related to stability -- I have my Ergotron and two monitors mounted on a very firm desk surface and find that the keyboard and monitors bounce and jiggle a little as I work, as others have also reported.

The unit comes with a free-standing, height-adjustable support column you place underneath and near the outer edge of the desktop (close to you) when elevated to provide further support. With the column supporting flush against the desktop bottom, there's no shaking whatsoever. Adjusting the desktop and column takes seconds. Highly recommended.
