Do you have to screw this into your desk? How stable is it if not anchored?

It's extremely stable. It just sits on the desk and your Macbook Air or standard macbook just sits in it. It's heavy enough to not tip at all. No issues whatsoever with that. The silver color matches my Macbook Air perfectly too.

You just set it wherever you want. The weight of macbook keeps it in place just fine. Not a worry that it will tip over.

The desk is largely a high-impact plastic. I would be hesitant to drill any holes in the desk. Really though, the balance on this is so superb, anti-slip surface effective, and the glide up and down so smooth, I can't imagine my 24" display falling off, unless your desk is inside a private jet or tour bus. I do have a foam back desk mat underneath, only because I had that left over from before acquiring the VariDesk.

It's very stable. 3-4 screws go through the "L" shaped portion of each leg, which attaches to individual bases installed on the glass top. The table is built upper-side down, L _____ then you turn it right-side up care-fully. Once each screw, is screwd into each base , 4 individual metal rings re-enforce the attachment, so you don't see the screws.......It's a nice table. I don't regret buying it. To this day I still use as a personal home office desk.

Actually this unit is very secure with no bounce whatsoever. I have the slide rails mounted to a 3/4" plywood desk with 1/2 particle board as the drawer piece. I used the screws that came with it and it is as solid as the desk itself.

You can loop the cable around the leg or you can purchase another piece of equipment (as I have done) to secure it to the desk/table. I purchased the companion piece called a cable mount. I like my computer and what is on it, I would feel bad if I had the chance and I did not secure it and all I had to do was buy a couple pieces of hardware. http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K64613WW-Mount-Cable-Anchor/dp/B0036RHAFM/ref=pd_sim_pc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0X50DNQ59NZRJ6VEVD21

This monitor stand is free standing. There isn't a simple way to bolt it down. The base could be drilled but that would entail a lot of work and you would have to drill holes in the desktop as well. It is stable as long as you use one or three monitors. I originally only had two monitors mounted on it and it was easily tipped to the side. I now have three mounted and it is quite stable. Hope this helps.

You have to screw it to the lip of a desk or table. I have mine attached to a shelf with the screw. It works great. The moveable arm makes it necessary to attach it to a sold surface.

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.

No, just put it on the desk but make sure during monitor installation to keep it balanced.

I have mine just sitting on top of the desk it is not fastened to the desk, I imagine that you could do that on either the right or left side. It is very sturdy with a wall behind it.

No you don't have to screw it into anything, the feet just sit on the desk top. You have option of drilling hole through desk so the feet don't take up any space but I just used the base. It allows me to shift the monitors left or right if I need to get behind them.

The foot base comes forward several inches to keep it from doing or. Using the mounting bold and drilling a hole through the bottom of your desk would probably provide the same support. I just have the foot stand and it is very stable with 3 24" Asus lcd monitors (older, heavy style).

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.

It is a free standing unit. I do not have mine bolted to desk. I have two heavy monitors and the stand holds both of them just fine. Everyone in my office that see's my monitor stand loves my new set up.

It does not attach to desk. It is designed so that the weight of the monitor is balanced over the base. Mine is very stable with a 22" screen attached to it.

The desktop is attached. Looks like it is attached with a couple of long screws. You could loosen it, but I don't think it is simple. When I've moved by desk, it takes to people to lift it.

Does not attach to the desk. You can move it around your desk, change positions and is quite sturdy.
