I am a fairly tall guy, with long legs. My question is, can this desk and keyboard tray accommodate someone who's 6'5 without scraping my knees?

My husband is 6'0 he is the one who utilizes the desk and says It would not be comfortable for someone your height

That probably depends on how low your chair is, and whether or not that is comfortable. I'd suggest actually going into a store with a display setup that you can sit at. If you can comfortably sit at that desk, then you will likely also sit comfortably at this desk. For comparison, the bottom of the keyboard tray is 25 3/8" from the floor.

I think the chair would be fine for you, especially if you install the footrest. I am 5'11" and eventually removed the footrest because it wasn't low enough for me (felt like my knees were higher than my hips). If you like to sit back in the seat, I recommend you don't have anything near the chair's feet to obstruct it so that you can get as close to the desk as you need to get. I have a foot stand and it competes with the chair feet so I tend to sit more in the middle or on the edge of the chair than against the back rest.

Hi Susie,This is a great question. The answer is 5' is perfect fit. We have had many people who are 4'10" -6'5" give us feedback and all have said it was not an issue.

When placed on a desk with the legs deployed in a 'Z' configuration it is quite solid unless one would lean heavily on it. I'm 5'4" and I could easily type on the laptop standing up by the desk. The stand could be raised quite a few inches higher for someone taller and still remain fairly solid. I've uploaded a photo showing my installation over my Logitech Momo sim racing wheel.

The space between the tray and the desk it is mounted to is fairly limited, so if you have a raised ergonomic keyboard it may not be able to slide under the desk.

The keyboard tray is 26.5 inches from the ground to the top surface of the tray. There really isn't a way to adjust the height other than adding blocks or something like that under the desks legs, which would heighten the whole desk.

I'm not standing in front of it at the moment so I can't give you an actual measurement, but it goes pretty high...I'm 5'-11" (with longer legs and a shorter torso), and I use mine with a Treaddesk, which raises me an additional 4"-5" off the floor, and this desk goes up to the recommended ergonomic measurement for keyboard wrist placement (i.e., my elbows). I don't even raise it up to the max!

I'm 5"4" and I was hitting my knees under my computer desk. I pulled my keyboard and mouse back to the edge of the desk top and pedal away. It's hard to use the keyboard or write while you are using it though. Mine has held up really well and although not a cardio workout by any means, keeps the legs moving!

My husband is 6 feet tall. He came and stood in front of the desk, and said the height was no problem for him. He went on to say that as long as the surface wasn't so low that his arms were at waist level, he saw no reason he would not be perfectly comfortable--the key was he didn't have to slouch over. I think your best bet might be to see where the desk height is in relation to your body, because that is the level at which your arms would be resting.

No, the keyboard tray is a fixed distance from the monitor. My biggest issue with this product. (I'm tall)

My brother is 6'2 and he uses this desk all the time. He has not said anything about it not being comfortable. I myself feel it is just perfect for me, am 5'8. It fits perfectly in the corner and does not use too much space.

Height is not a problem. However, The keyboard cannot be wider than !2 inches to fit comfortably.

No, the "legs" that come with the Keyboard are a fixed height. Actually I wouldn't call them legs in the traditional sense, more like pegs or stubs :) But, it is enough to angle the Keyboard to help save the wear and tear on your wrists.Bob

I am 5' 9" and it's perfect typing height for me. Unfortunately, this may be too high for you.

Yes. I have a Herman Miller look-alike chair and it fits under the desk just fine with the arms in their lowest position. I'm 5'7 so that position is just fine for me. Keyboard tray is not deep enough to accommodate an opened lap top and that was a disappointment. Overall the desk seems well made and I've received a lot of compliments on its looks. Hope this helps.

Yes, with one comment regarding the keyboard. Right now, I use this table for my printer and office supplies with the portable computer on an adjustable height stand. The one comment I have is that if you are going to use this table for the keyboard, you're going to need to watch your arm and wrist position (ergonomic issue). For me, the table would be a little high (I'm 5'3") with a normal chair. But with an adjustable chair, you should be able to ok. You might need something to rest your feet on if you have to bring the chair up enough to keep your arms and wrist level with the keyboard. Yes, with one comment regarding the keyboard.

It is not a stand up desk. I'm 5'9" and raise it all the way up to get my legs under it. Plenty of room to stretch out legs.
