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.

For me using the top shelf puts my line of sight at the top 1/3 of the monitor screen when using no height adjustment. I don't think anyone besides a young child would have a problem with it being too tall.

I use the top shelf for my monitor and its perfect for me. Granted there are several variables that you need to consider such as the monitor stand/size of monitor(mine is a 24" monitor), your chair height and your personal height...

I work from home 2 days a week 8 hours/day. I have two monitors on there. I am 5'10", have my chair raised to a comfortable level, and have no problems looking at them all day. Just keep the monitors lowered on their stands.

Hello Akasya. The table is excellent to support the laptop and keep it high level when you need to read something but I think is tall in case you need to type on it because you have to extend your arms for long time causing pain over your shoulder. I don't think it would be good for your back. I hope I could help you with my comments . Regards. Raquel Martínez -

Maybe. There is a tendency for the tray to tip forward. If you mount the monitor so that the center of gravity is close to the pivot point you may be OK, especially if you really tighten the pivot bolt, but then you will not be able to adjust the angle without loosening the bolt. If you use a couple of strips of Velcro tape you should be able to prevent if from falling off.

It depends on the size of the monitors on the top. The bottom rail can be adjusted on the center pole but if it is too high, the top monitors will overlap. The stand is really sturdy (and heavy) but is built well. There is a bold that you can screw in from the bottom to secure it if you are concerned about the weight. It actually bows the wooden desk I have with the weight of the monitors.

Maybe, if you have a plan for securing it. Otherwise, it's there for balance and stability. You might be able to leave the braces on the end of the shelf there for support and remove the small rods that make up the shelf. But it would require some work.

As long as you don't live with a 4-year-old that's constantly bumping into them, yes. I actually have two monitors on the top shelf right now. One is about 27 inches and the other is slightly larger. You will probably have to angle them to match the slight curve of the top shelf rather than having them in a straight line next to each other, but it's definitely doable.

The Arm's max tension is reached right around the 30# mark, much over that and they likely wont be able to hold the monitor in the position desired. Beyond that, these particular arm's really don't have that good of a vertical range for a monitor of that size leaving you with little room for adjustment - and you certain wouldn't be able to rotate the monitor without having the arm mounted to the desk.s

Absolutely not!!The top of the table can be lowered/inclined towards you.......thats about it!!! is still a wonderful investment! I love my table.....i can lounge in my recliner, watch TV and be on my computer at the sime time!!! LOVE IT!!!

The base cannot be adjusted enough to allow a monitor to stand on it. In fact, when I opened my laptop on the shelf it covered up the monitor in it's clamp. There is also a weight limit, which I exceeded in the dual monitor station (plus laptop). When you exceed the weight limit the monitor and keyboard walk down the poll. If you have the right weight, it is fairly easy to raise and lower everything between a sitting and standing position.

There have not been any issues/problems at all. If you use a desk top computer with the pull out shelf for the keyboard you will definitely not have any problems! My son has a similar desk that he has a lap top on, and he has no problems and he is 6'4". The bottom shelf comes in handy (such as printer or storage), so you would want to keep it assembled. Also provides stability as well! Hope this helps!

If you weren't set upright, this desk would be too tall. If you were comfortable reaching up to type, the adjustable easel could be used to place the laptop at an angle, but it may be awkward if you were lying flat on your back.

Where the monitor goes is 11" high. That shelf is 11" from back to front (does not count the flip down part of shelf, almost 12" deep by 23 1/2" wide). The shelf above is 8 1/4" from back to front. So you could put a very large monitor on this shelf when flipped down, but the flip down shelf would not be able to flip up.

The height shouldn't be a problem, but the lower shelf will be. I bump my shins on it I'll the time when I stretch out.

You could, but that's not actually good for your back, especially for someone who is overweight. Also, there would be nothing to keep you from going past vertical, so it might be very difficult to right yourself, and you could cause other injury.

Because the riser comes up at an angle, if you put the top into the base riser reversed by 180, you'll have a fixed, non-adjustable tiltIt's unlikely that that was an expected way to use it, because there are no bumps on the table top to keep things sliding off when it's tilted.

I'm not sure, but I think a monitor might be to heavy. The legs have to be bent somewhat for stability.

You might be able to but unless you have the unit tied to the wall or other surrounding sturdy furniture and the monitor securely attached to the shelves, it would be likely to topple. I wouldn't risk it.
