How easy and stable is the stand to covert to sitting/flat position with monitor and keyboard still on it? Is it easy and stable to do that?

No, it would be way to difficult to adjust it with the monitor and keyboard on it. In fact, it was hard setting it up and getting is so that it isn't crooked. However, I do like mine. It will shake if I am typing fast and my mouse will fall off (from the vibration). However this set-up is cheaper than other models and it does the job.

The stand is sturdy. However, the key board only sits on the stand, it is not secured. It's all pretty heavy, though. I did knock the keyboard off once, only because I was trying to adjust the stand height while with the keyboard on it. I don't suggest that. If you need to move it or adjust it you have to take the keyboard off first. A lot of commotion, out of control kids and/or dogs could knock it over.

The stand actually isnt very good. It doesnt really work for much. My phone and or tablet will not fit. However this is a just a nuisance. the keyboard is great with a very good feel and is approximately 85% the size of a real one so its easy to adjust to.

It has a V-shaped flat metal foot which just sits on the desk. It's quite stable - I've tilted my desk considerably by accident and the monitor stayed upright. I've moved mine around quite a bit without trouble.

Once you mount the monitors, it's not very easy at all. Not because of a poor design, but because it wasn't designed to do height adjustments like that. Beyond that, I can highly recommend this stand. Just ensure your monitors have VESA mount points.

I agree that the monitor size is not a big issue as the stand is very sturdy and should hold it OK. Your keyboard should be OK except it may not leave a lot of room for the mouse. We really like the stand so that we do not always need to be sitting or standing.

Good question. You might need to weight the table. It would depend on how the weight compares. Related to stability -- I have my Ergotron and two monitors mounted on a very firm desk surface and find that the keyboard and monitors bounce and jiggle a little as I work, as others have also reported.

It's quite stable. I bought it when I got a much heavier keyboard than I previously had, and it supports the weight well.

It's pretty simple to adjust. There is a clamp with a tightener on it. You just have to hold the monitor steady while adjusting the clamp. I don't adjust mine so often, but it is a very well designed stand. Good luck!

Matt, The unit itself is very stable. The keyboard doesn't shift in relation to the iPad and the iPad maintains the angle you choose. But I hate typing on my lap, because the iPad & keyboard is much smaller than a laptop. I had the exact situation Saturday and the unit moved because my legs don't lend themselves to stability. I can't keep my thighs together (good thing I'm not a woman!). My solution is to put my briefcase or a large folder/tablet on my lap to provide a more stable surface. But the shifting is not the fault of the Airbender. In fact, I'm finding is very stable in almost every configuration.

I do not believe that you can move the keyboard up and down without raising of lowering the entire desk. As for the monitor - I believe depending on the size of the monitor as long as less than 24 inches you may be able to riase or lower by about 1 to 2 inches - the value of the workstation is that it is ergonomically made to mount onto your desk.

I think the stand is great. Very stable, easy to adjust the monitors, extra USB ports....

Yes and no: The desk is structurally sturdy, enough that the monitor doesn't move as I type, but my keyboard tray does not lock when pulled all the way out. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to, perhaps the parts don't quite fit together properly. So it's sturdy vertically, but not horizontally. Other than that, I really like it.

I'm using it on my lap with one of the viewing angles right now. It's stable and a good angle for both viewing the screen and typing.

For me it is bit low for the monitor and bit high for the keyboard. I put my laptop on it anyway and work that way sometimes but from an ergonomic stand point it is not ideal.

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.

I have been using dual 21" monitor, it has always seemed about the right distance for me, the only problem I have had is that my keyboard overlaps the base of the dual monitor stand, which is occasionally a bother, but not usually.
