Is this sturdy enough to type on and use the laptop when on the stand? I will not be using an external keyboard or mouse.

Perhaps with a standard laptop, mine is a 17" and requires the use of the extender pads to support it. Usually the extender pads are for other purposes. The height is adjustable, and as you make it lower it becomes even more sturdy. I have it on the maximum height setting and it doesn't wobble. I use the space underneath for and external hard drive, remote controls, etc. I hope this helps.

It's a bit wobbly now with use - but I use it all the time, so can't complain - and it also depends on how much pressure you are exerting - however wish it was a bit more sturdy and stable. Also my arms kind of hang from the stand, so my wrists were paining sometime back, and I had to put a cushion under my elbow to support my arm. Wish the stand could be set at an incline - I have seen those kind of stands, but don't know where you would find them. Hope this helps.

Yes. The entire stand is made of sturdy plastic and does not bend when my laptop is on it. But... if you're going to be banging away on the laptop vice using an external keyboard, I would suggest you invest in some Velcro to hold the laptop into position as it will slide around on the stand's surface if you don't. There are no 'locks' -- it is only a stand.

I do use a wireless mouse off to the side, but I use the laptop keyboard, and it is definitely sturdy enough.

You would need some way to weight the base so that it didn't move or slide. It's really made to elevate the screen to a better height while using a keyboard at normal desk height.

I actually bought this for one of my staff members and she loves it! Doesn't have to bend down and hurt her back typing all day. Hope this helps. She does use a mouse some too.

It is sturdy, but it isn't a lap desk. A laptop would go on top and will sit 3-4 inches above a counter or desk. So, ergonomically, it isn't really comfortable for extended use. Without an external keyboard or mouse, the stand is more for display purposes than anything else.

I don't see a problem the stand is well made and should hold your laptop steady if on a sturdy desk or tabel.

I use this only on a 10.5 inch tablet, I really would not use a laptop on this tablet stand.I hope this helps you.

You my have to buy a keyboard because the stand erects the laptop so high, that typing is not comfortable.Hope this helps.

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 stand is a regular stand and it is really good but nothing secure the keyboard to the stand, only be carefull, works really good, it is make to support it.

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 sturdy. You can use a laptop with no worries. I wouldn't put 100 lbs on it, but it's not fragile

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.

It wiggles when i snap my laptop down onto the docking station. I only move it by grabbing low on the main bars in fron (to vacuum, it's on carpet). It's not terribly sturdy. Let's say this... i wouldn't buy it for a child but i know i won't be leaning on it, etc. The keyboard tray is prettu sturdy.

Not as is. You'll need to get a tray of some sort to support the weight. It's meant for another keyboard, but you could rig it for a laptop if needed

The World Tour Double X Keyboard Stand is strong enough. It goes for around thirty bucks and is sold on Amazon.

The keyboard just sits on the stand. There is no securing it so it feels stable.

It's a pretty sturdy drawer for the most part, but I believe it wouldn't hold up to resting on it. I tried it and I feel if I had put all my weight on it, it would probably have broken. As far as using it for the keyboard and normal use it has held up very well for me and I'm satisfied with my choice in it.

I think it would totally handle that weight. I have an extremely heavy laptop, external monitor, keyboard and mouse on mine and it's great. (all told probably around 21 lbs.) It's very sturdy. I really love this desk. It has saved my back and I feel so much more productive through the day.

I would say no because the Lap Top Desk is big enough for the laptop only. No room for the external keyboard. The weight isn't a consideration due to the sturdy nature of this desk.
