Can it be mounted on a metal desk?

depends on the type of metal desk, but probably yes. Pilot holes would need to be drilled and sheet metal screws used in lieu of wood screws.

I mounted it on to a wooden desk. It has brackets that need to be screwed in place.

It uses right angle metal brackets to secure it from the underside of the surface you are mounting it to. So you need something to bite into from the bottom of your mounting surface. I suppose you can tack weld it if you had to or somehow mount a wooden braces on the underside of the metal desk. You only need a small like 1/4" screw.

I have mine mounted to a Bush corner desk. It does not come above the height of the desktop using the standard mounting holes underneath.

You would need to replace the machine screw with a wood screw, as this is designed to screw into a metal plate. Other than that, you should be able to use it for a desk.

As shipped, it comes with wood screws to mount to a wood bench. I'm sure you could probably drill holes in your metal bench but it should be pretty thick metal. When you step on the pedal that places quite a force on the bench.

I don't think so, the magnet was a bit weak. Sticks to my desk but is not hard to remove by any means

i have this mounted under my desk made of high quality engineered furniture board (Jesper). the included screws are meant for installation into a wooden desk. is your metal desk hollow or completely solid? if solid, you may try self-tapping screws. if hollow, i doubt the installation will hold despite self-tapping screws.

It will take mounting spacing blocks on the sides of the cabinet. Metal screws in from the outside to do that would impair the appearance of the cabinet but that's a matter of choice. Then attaching to metal drawers, but not impossible. So yes it is doable. I agree though with the other answer that they were designed for wooden drawers.

The metal assembly for attaching the tray to a desktop is heavy, and should be attached to solid wood 1.5" In. thick or moreThe unit is not very stable (without adding side stabilizers) to the keyboard when used at full width however.

If you stick a piece of plywood underneath the glass where the metal clams on it would probably be fine but that would be at the cost of aesthetics. As long as you place something underneath the desk where the metal discs clamp to distribute the load from the metal clamp to the desk it will be fine. If you do not want to see something underneath the glass then go for a stand that just rests on top of the glass

I have mine mounted to an Ikea desk and it is fine. The key is to check the thickness of the desk you will be attaching the tray to and, if necessary, get shorter screws so you don't go through the top surface of the desk.

I mounted it on a hollow core Ikea desktop, just don't over torque the screws. You may need shorter screws than what comes with the holder

It is not made to be mounted to a wall, but if you want to it's not heavy and double-sided tape would handle it. We have it sitting on a desk.

Normally it would be with wood screws, but still no problem with a metal bench. Just lay up the pattern that is provided, drill holes, and mount with your own hardware.

I wouldn't do it. I have the same mount and on the inside cover of the manual on page 2 where it says caution: paragraph 4- "This product is not designed for use in metal stud walls" call the customer service number to be sure, they are very helpful.

I doubt it. It is designed to be screwed into the desk to which it will be attached.

It can mount on a desk if you by the seperate assembly piece with desk attachment. If you buy this, you're only buying the arm and computer support tray.

The metal track is &lt; 18" long so that should be fine. The keyboard itself may protrude from underneath the desk, but my desk is 36" deep and the way it was installed extends in front of my desk as well. I think you'll be fine.
