Is there a way to remove the shelf or the keyboard tray? I'm wanting to use this to mount a monitor and keyboard over a sound board in a venue.

There doesn't seem to be a way to detach the shelf and keyboard stand because even if you remove them, the arm that they are laying on is still in the way. Ergotron's products are really great and affordable so I'm sure they have something that will just hold a monitor up. Have you checked out their site?

I am not sure, there are other models that do not have the work space tray.

There is a 1/2 inch lip. The keyboard tray mounts to the longer piece of the desk, it does not look like there is an option to mount on the other side, which would be the side with the seam where the long and short pieces fit together.

Yes, you could not install the keyboard shelf. It would add about 5 inches of extra leg room. You could also easily add the keyboard shelf after it's built if you change your mind (the track is essentially just hammered in, then a could screws to keep it in). Or you could build the shelf in to begin with, and just remove it later (however, this would leave the track installed... not a big deal but aesthetically not as nice).

Yes both the upper and lower shelf can be removed. This is a really sturdy stand.

There would be nothing to secure the laptop on either the shelf or the keyboard shelf. Depending on the size of your monitors and your laptop, if you put it on the shelf shown in the picture your laptop monitor will overlap the others. You could put the laptop on the keyboard shelf if you didn't mind typing on your laptop's keyboard.

yes, you can remove that one in the middle. As long you dont remove the bottom one too, U will be save concerning the stabilty. I would not recommend both (bottom part and middle shelf) since then the whole desk may be loose its static.

No there is no way to do that, and the mount most likely cant handle the addional weight of the shelf and componets on it

There is no physical release. If properly installed, you just push (or pull) the shelf containing the keyboard and it slides in or out on tracks on both sides of the shelf.

Good morning J,The Keyboard Tray comes separate. You have the option to install it or not. If you like I can send you the assembly instruction..you can email me at may@sd-office.com and I can forward the assembly instruction. I hope this helps.Thank You.May

I have a 27" iMac on it. It's length is 26" so another such monitor will fit but with very little room to spare. The keyboard tray and drawers are simply bolted on and I don't see how removing them would compromise the integrity of the structure.

The keyboard drawer is on sliding guides and can be detached from the sliding mechanism by first sliding the drawer out, then flipping a switch on either side. Once detached from the sliding mechanism, you can remove the guides altogether if you wish, or just collapse them back under the desk. That being said, the drawer is contained within a slot of the top of the desk, so the legroom area is fixed by that piece of wood. If you were bold, you could easily cut out the keyboard section.

Keyboard tray or slide out shelf is not included. Separate item. The deluxe shelf is worth the extra cost. Because it is so flexible in positioning and very sturdy.

No the keyboard is not removeable. You can take it out but then you have to figure out how to tape or glue it back in otherwise it falls out.

No, its for the desk :(Pretty sure there are wall mounts the have laptop trays/mounts. Could look into wall mounted component shelves too, there's a ton of those on Amazon.

The shelf under the keyboard does not seem to move-looks like it is permanent. Your monitor will definitely fit-the top shelf is adjustable and you can put it at the upper level, no problem

No -- the monitor and keyboard trays are attached ... they move together as they are raised and lowered.

I also won't purchase now knowing that it can't be mounted. The default stand will get in the way of my keyboard / desktop-working-space. When a new version is made that can be mounted, please let us know.
