Does the table surface tilt for easier laptop use in lift chair recliner?

No it does not tilt..it stays horizontal but you could always place something under the laptop for the desired angle. With the adjustable height you could get any angle with a beanbag underneath the laptop!

The table does not tilt. It can be raised up and down, as is shown in the photograph. It can also swing forward and backward from its pedestal to allow easy access for sitting and rising from the chair. I use a recliner chair easily with this table, and I always swing the table away from me as I sit or stand from the chair. As for tilt, my iMac desktop tilts, were I to need it, as would the screen of a laptop, but I have little need for tilt.

There are little legs on the back you can use to tilt the keyboard up on the top, but I have to keep my wrists even as much as possible, so I keep the keyboard flat. I use wrist rests home made, with dry rice or small dry beans in them. I hope this makes sense. :-)

Yes the mouse pad is higher than the keyboard. It doesn't look to me like it can be lowered. It hasn't affected my use at all. I didn't even think about it being higher.

The chair may have a little tilt but it nothing to write home about. I think the fact that chair arms are retractable and the awesome color more than make up for its lack of tilt

It will slant slightly towards the user but not much... it also has small pieces of rubber on the corners to help your laptop stay on it. I sit in my recliner with it in my lap all the time and have no issues if that is what your worried about

The legs aren't that thick, so no problem. My recliner has a wooden base that only allows the legs to come about 3" under my chair, and that's perfect, for me. When I pivot the top, the edge of it is even with the inside of my chair arm, and when it's pivoted to me, my laptop is at the perfect angle to not block my view of the TV, but allow me to type comfortably on my computer.

No, it is a flat surface. Only the headrest can be adjusted with tilt. Otherwise, the height of the legs of the table could be higher or lower at one end, which would create a slanted bed.

No. While it is perhaps possible to shorten the height a bit with great effort and the right tools, you would still need to account for the space required below the working surface for the tilt mechanism an for access to the knobs and pins associated with the trunnion and other hardware. As built the table surface is already at comfortable working height. This is a heavy tool and I used a block and tackle just to stand it upright - you would need something stronger than a "table" to safely support it.

You could tilt the whole desk forward by placing a board or other lift support under the back two feet, but the keyboard tray and monitor tray will be tilted forward, and they would no longer be parallel with the surface upon which the Varidesk is placed.

It seems to smooth on the non sticky side for that. I think the laptop would slide on it nearly as easily as on your laptop table. I agree with the other poster about getting adhesive backed rubber pads. Those work great for slippage.

In my opinion, the answer to your question is "No". If I try to tilt it, the feet at the front just raise. But, I will say it is a wonderfully comfortable chair and that was not important to me. Good luck deciding..........bfr

It woks for me in my recliner and I find it very useful, but I suppose it depends on the space between the arm rests on your particular recliner. I was even able to use the little desk while my small dog was comfortably lying on my lap!

Check out Drive Medical Non Tilt Top Overbed Table, available through Amazon. I recently posted photos of this with the 300SR. You could indeed use a laptop with it.

Not on a regular desk or drawer. I get a negative tilt by putting this keyboard on a lapboard and sitting on a balance disc, so my thighs are at a negative tilt angle. The lapboard has a corduroy covered beanbag back that runs almost the length of the board which keeps it (and my keyboard) from sliding down my legs.

Yes. There is a lever that lets you tilt the face cradle up or down from the level of the table itself.

I have to say, NO. The surface is very smooth and slippery.I have mine sitting on a table and my 17 Inch HP laptop slides a little until I get it positioned just right.
