In the picture, the keyboard shelf has a vertical bar blocking the bottom of the keyboard. Can that space be opened so my wrists can rest comfortably?

The vertical bar is fixed to the drawer and can't be opened, the height of the bar above the drawer surface is a little more than 1/4 inch. It doesn't bother my wrists, you can either move the keyboard further towards the back or get a wrist rest pad so your wrists will be more comfortable.

As I covered in my write up, I found the slide-out shelf to be a bit uncomfortable. I use a swivel shelf that attaches to the keyboard to be the answer. I go into more detail in my write up. Best of luck.

Yes, the shelf can be placed wherever you want and it can be removed. The keyboard tray is 23 3/4" by 10 1/2".

Yes you can, the middle section is flexible and you can just fold it back, good thing you can take the keyboard out also so it is more comfortable

I don't have the most precise measurement tools at my disposal, but the width between legs is roughly 16 1/2". You would be able to fit your keyboard underneath if you turn it slightly and then have approx. 2" to spare once it is underneath. The max height, as in underside clearance, is 5". The max height of the shelf upon which your monitor or whatever will sit is 6". Hope this helps. I'm still very happy with my purchase.

Unfortunately, no, not really. The bars that are supposed to support the underside of the keyboard are too long to fit in the grooves, so that you either have the keyboard wanting to flip over away from you, or flip over towards you. I am likely exaggerating how unbalanced it is, but nevertheless, with its tendency to slide on the stand, it can become a real issue.

The keyboard tray *IS* the drawer, going the full depth of the desk. Set an organizer on it instead of a keyboard, and you have a nice drawer.

You my have to buy a keyboard because the stand erects the laptop so high, that typing is not comfortable.Hope this helps.

I will measure the keyboard tray when I get home. Both the tower stand and the cabinet system are on wheels and can be moved freely wherever you want.

it sits kind of unevenly on the arm of MY sofa, so use of the keyboard would be awkward and truthfully i'm not sure a keyboard would fit gracefully in the space provided because of the lip around the edge

The shelf is a shade under 16" and is about 1/2" shy of being able to hold the keyboard and magic trackpad side by side.Are you trying to fit a wireless keyboard and separate numeric keypad or an Apple one-piece keyboard / numeric keypad combo? I don't know the dimensions on that.

The width of the laptop is no problem and the vertical clearance is good with the laptop unopened. With the keyboard tray extended to the front of the desk, I have about 7 inches of tray extended in front of the desk.That may not be enough room to open the laptop for use. You might test that just using a shelf or flat surface and putting 7inches of the open laptop on the shelf and check the balance. Hope this helps. Wes

You have the option of installing both the bottom and lower shelves at various heights and yes, the middle shelf can be removed completely. Without the middle shelf and with the bottom shelf installed at the lowest level, there is 21" between the shelf and the keyboard.

No the keyboard drawer cannot be removed for more leg room as there is a board that runs along the length of the desk that would still be a factor.

I have 8.5" of flat surface space. There is a small raise/lip at the front of the keyboard that is not included in the 8.5".

No you can't. The case covers all sides, which won't allow for the keyboard.

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).
