Do you need to assemble it with the keyboard tray? And if you do (because it adds stability), does it slide out so I can remove just the tray?

I suppose you could assemble it without the tray but it is so handy I would not remove it now for any reason. The tray is attached to slider rails on the bottom by two screws on each side and can be removed easily. The desk seems to be steady enough when the tray is pulled out all the way, so I doubt that the tray is making a lot if difference. The desk is beautiful and very handy to use, I love mine just the way it is.

This is just an opinion, not a definite answer. I see no need to assemble the keyboard tray for stability since it is not attached directly to any support bars. The tray could be left unattached but the bars do glide easily. I would leave tray off if desired. We are very pleased with this desk, assembly and quality.

A keyboard will slide under it, but not in the usable way unless you have a small keyboard (mine is 16" long). If you want it just for storage, the height under the drawer to the desk is sufficient to allow the keyboard to fit under the tray, but you need to slide it the long way.

Yes, the stand is comprised of a few large pieces that need attaching. The process itself is not difficult alone if you have a little strength to move the solid pieces. The instructions are easy to follow. I think the most difficult task is picking up the actual keyboard and setting it in top of the built stand, as that's the heaviest piece of the entire thing.

The keyboard comes totally assembled, but you will have to put the stand and stool together. It's very easy to do and comes with all necessary tools. It took me about 5 minutes.

Yes. Installation of the keyboard tray is a step in the normal installation. If you dont want to install it, there is nothing that depends on its installation.

The keyboard is not a stabilizer, so it would be okay to not install it. But the bottom shelf is a stabilizer, and I think it most likely needs to be attached.

Yeah you assemble the whole desk piece by piece so, if you choose to not attach the keyboard tray the desk is still completely functional. It is a nice desk in my college apartment. I Love it!

When you put the desk together you could skip the step where you install the keyboard tray. It will probably not been quite as strong as it provides part of the tying together of all three sides.

If I understand your question right, the answer is no, or at least not un-awkwardly. Removing the keyboard doesn't seem to serve any useful purpose. If you want it at the MORE-angled position (i.e. not in the more upright, typing position), it will sit rather awkwardly with or without the keyboard. It won't sit securely at all. Again, that's if I'm understanding your question right. (I may not have had enough coffee yet today!)

You do not have to move the keyboard at all. I typically do but not necessary. And it will nestle in that groove you see or stand up against the keyboard and it works fine. To me it is a solid case/keyboard combo. I had a belkin for my old iPad and this is better.

I bought the desk and it is pretty sturdy. as for installing your own keyboard tray you would need to drill your own holes

the keyboard slide out from the top as shown on the picture. But I put my keyboard on the top of the table

Yes, you can slide tray with keyboard completely under the desk. The tray has height adjustments. When resting at top height(flush to desk) you will not be able to slide it under, but you just lower the tray, and it slides right under desk.

I have a regular keyboard on it and it just barely fits. The keyboard tray does not come out very far. I have the mouse up above. Other then that I am pretty happy with it.

I don't have any way to secure mine but your keyboard might be different. Mine just sits on top of the stand. It feels really solid to me and has holes in the top where you could bolt it down (if your keyboard has that capability).

I got this for my job at the time at which I am no longer at. I want to say yes, you can assemble it without the roll out keyboard, but I honestly don't remember exactly how it assembled. I'm 90% sure that you can assemble the desk without it.

I do not know if it comes with a drawer. You may want to check with the manufacturer. We are just a buyer who purchased it. We did purchase it with the pull out keyboard tray. Good luck!
