Can i use this as a tread desk? hi guys, i was wondering, i want to buy this and turn it into a tread desk where i can use my laptop and do light walking at the same time.Would i be able to build the treadmill but leave the console and rails off the treadmill and instead put a wood board on top where the console is?

I built a desk up around a similar design older model T30. Since I just need a slow pace using it as a desk, there isn't much need to see the display, though I can peek around the shelf and see it if I need to. I left a gap between the shelf where my keyboard sits and the shelf where the monitor is so I can look in there, or bend over and peek under. But due to my height the shelf is more than a foot above the handles.My problem is with the programming, haven't found a way to just turn it on and let it run for hours. Have to keep resetting. A bit of a hazard if I'm deep in thought and the track suddenly stops, making me almost fall over backwards. I built a desk up around a similar design older model T30.

Hi,The mobile desk has adjustable height. The maximum height is 30" from top to ground. I think it would be too low if you intend to set it in front of a treadmill.

The desk is a completely separate assembly, so you could leave them off if you wanted to. But if you only need a basic treadmill, there are other options that are probably cheaper.

The adjustable desk is a little on the short side. At it's full extension, it can work for me, but only if I'm barefoot. I am approximately 5-7. A treadmill would need a taller platform, and I'm not sure you'd want to prop this up on something else. It's not particularly sturdy.

Yes, that's exactly what the desk is for. The Rebel Desk treadmill is designed to go with the desk!

My desktop is mounted inside of a drawer. I pull it out when I need it and push it in when it is not needed. Earlier, I had it setting on the desk with my computer on top of it. This worked just fine also. If you extend it out very far, you need to support it someway in the back so it doesn't drop into your lap with the weight from the keyboard.

I might not have the greatest answer without a bit more information. Will you be primarily using the treadmill for running or walking? And the budget for a treadmill is important, because of course if you pay $3,000 (in other words- a lot of money :) ) almost any treadmill will be amazing! I purchased the proform for not only budget reasons, but that technology-wise it was in between "the basics" and a "everything you could possibly imagine" treadmill. I run about 30 miles a week on it and it's still holding up. Just recently I used a life fitness treadmill (it had a fan, tv and multiple hookups for your ipad, iphone, mp3, etc) and I have to say it made my treadmill feel like junk! HOWEVER, my treadmill cost a little over $500 and this one was well over $1,000. The 4 top brands I would say to check out are, smooth fitness (good treadmill but I've heard bad customer service), life fitness (more expensive), horizon (moderately priced, but good customer service) and proform (a lot of choices with a wide range of prices). I know this still requires research, but hopefully I've helped a little!

The treadmill is 70" long but the legs of the desk extend another 2-3" in front of it. The treadmill itself is 27" wide and the width with the desk legs straddling it is 36" wide. The the desk top is 46" wide so you need to have space for that. I have the unit sitting on a 36" x 78" mat. BTW, there is not much assembly to do done. It's really setting the desktop onto the legs and the rolling the treadmill over these knobs of sort on the inside of the desk legs so that the treadmill doesn't move.

For a laptop desk/support that's designed to use with a treadmill or exercise machine, do a google search for 'airdesk' - they have a model that can raise up your laptop to 60+ inches. Hope this helps!EDIT: Multitable has a treadmill version on their website as well- try searching for 'ModTable Treadmill Desk' for more info. Edit2: on further inspection, that has a treadmill built into it, so probably not what you are looking for.

When you raise the desk, it moves toward you a few inches. I don't use it with a treadmill. I think you're asking if it will do that, and so the answer is a conditional yes. I'm out of town now so I can't be more definitive. If you can wait until Friday, I'll give you more detail.

I don't know for whom you bought the desk, but unless you bought it for a child in kindergarten or 1st grade ( or for a hobbit), I'd recomment forgoing the request for instructions and just send it back for a refund. If you really want to keep it, then you should Google the manufacturer and request the instructions. I'm putting mine on Craigslist for a steep loss.

Hi, I have a gaming computer. Did you end up buying this desk? How is the the height of the desk where you put the monitor? Is it comfortable for games? This matches my furniture and thinking about getting it. Thanks

I was wondering the same thing so did some searching on Amazon and found the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill, which is very reasonably priced as well as gotten good reviews. One of the first reviews talks about it being perfect for a treadmill desk!

This has been a great treadmill for us. I really enjoy it but I know everyone is different but it has been wonderful for us. Hope this helps...i read many reveiws before even buying this one last year and so far it hasn't disappointed us.

I am 5'1" and use the TrekDesk. I was meticulous in measuring the lowest height of the trekdesk (from scematics on their website) and then checking the height of the treadmill panels before I bought a treadmill. The bottom of my treadmill panel is just below the lip of the desk. Also, I put a rubber mat under the treadmill to raise it up a bit. They recommend that anyway in case of oil leak. Mine works fine. After a few tens of times of jumping on and off I have to adjust the belt.

Be aware it's a heavy treadmill like most high quality running units, so even though it has wheels unless your on concrete or wood floor they sink into the carpet. It's almost easier to pull the treadmill where you need it to go vs. trying to push through a door since view will be obstructed. Not something i would want to move around on a daily basis.

were you able to move your tread climber to another room. I also need to move mine and I can't figure it out
