Is this a stand-up or sit down desk?

I have a chair with mine and I use the desk to pay bills etc. Just keep in mind that the desk is more narrow than your average desk so you want to try to use shelving in the wall above if you plan to use it as an office desk. I have a microscopic NYC studio apt. and its perfect for what I needed! Good luck!

It is a sit down desk. I'm 5'7" and it reaches to about mid-thigh on me when standing.

No it is not. But I LOVE this desk. Not cheap looking. Well worth the money. So glad I bought it.

I don't think it's a matter of sitting or standing. Think of it as a mini-desk on top of your full-size desk. Even in a fully collapsed position, you won't be able to sit down and use it. I take mine completely down off my desk or push it all the way forward and then put my monitor, keyboard and mouse back down on my full desk. I usually do that routine twice a day. The whole process takes me two minutes. Make sure you buy a anti-stress pad for your feet and legs too.

It is a stand-alone unit. Does not have to be attached to desk. Heavy enough that it doesn't shift around. It also has rubberized pads on the bottom to keep it in place.

I am actually using it as a standing desk with my computer on my sitting desk level. That said, I think if you either mounted the screen(a) the way they show it in the picture or have it against a wall so you can push your monitor (or iMAC) back as far as you can, it works just fine. I love mine!

When the desk is up and you are standing the keyboard can be on the top of the desk. If you put it down to sit, then you physically move the keyboard to lower section. Its just a matter of placing it on the lower surface. The lower section does have a pull out/slide out feature so the keyboard can be placed where its comfortable. I love my VariDesk! I have been a stander at work for last two years!! Hope this helps?

No. not really using this desk as a stand up, and I got the 48 x 24. But it is very sturdy, It will not break unless you practice karate chops on it or if you sit on it and weigh +320 lbs. This is not press wood or thin bars. It will last you for a very log time. And if you are buying this for you son/daughter. As they grow up...You can raise the table to there height. So leaning on it, will not be an issue, IMO!

It is a substitute for a desk. I use it to hold my laptop while programming at job sites. It can be set to comfortable sitting or standing levels. Too big for airlines but OK for keeping in a car.

This is composite wood, I have had this for almost a year at a very busy physicians clinic office, I think it would be a good desk for a home. It has a lot of surface damage. The keyboard slide where my mouse goes has had the surface wearing off. This desk is more pretty than functional

The 'desk' area is a soft surface. It is at such an angle, that I have some difficulty keeping my pc on it. Wish the lip was a little higher. As I like using a mouse rather than the keyboard, I just 'read' on it.

This is a desk for seated work and would not work as a standing desk. This desk did not live up to my expectations unfortunately.

This is designed for the keyboard and mouse. The surface allows you to adjust height for sit to stand.

Yes, it's a two position stand. One level for typing and the other for viewing (almost vertical). The stand is fastened to the cover and hinged so it stands up to reveal the two viewing positions or folds out of the way when not in use. I use it to watch videos in the vertical position. The typing stand is the right angle for typing on your lap or table.

Yes. I stand most of the time I do plan takeoffs since I sit at a desk so often. It will lay flat although I use a slight tilt with a wireless keyboard & mouse and a wall mounted monitor.

Yes, I believe so, it's my 2nd desk. The desk is universal, meaning you can put together in a couple different ways to fashion your settings just the way you would like, mind your self while doing this, you will need a second person to assist to get things done right, & without bending, or causing any uneeded stress or damages to desk..

The stand is one piece- meaning that the desk does not separate from the stand portion. I love mine!

Yes, it is. I think it would be fine for your purposes. I can't say it's the BEST computer desk, but it serves the purposes for the price.
