Is this non-penetrating or do you have to drill holes in the desk to install?

It is non-penetrating. You just set the whole thing on top of your desk. It is plenty heavy and stable.

It's completely non-penetrating. It comes fully assembled and all you have to do is set it on top of your desk. I love mine!

Non-penetrating. It sits on the desk top and is heavy/bulky enough that it does not move around.

sits on desk. somehow, it's really secure, doesn't slide - perhaps suction?

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.

No drills. Just take out of the box and place on your desk. Two other people in my office bought one after they saw mine.

Yes, it includes hardware to attach to the desk top through a standard grommet hole. The heavy U-shaped base isn't needed for this configuration.

28" though I'm not sure you'd be able to install one; the underside has about a 2-inch lip around the edge, and the middle is recessed just a little bit. I should also say that the desk is basically veneered particleboard, so I'm not sure drilling pilot holes would be advisable.

Yes - there are 4 screws holding it in place - and it does not impact the stability of the desk

No, but I'm going to have one drilled in soon. My neighbor has the appropriate drill bit. Otherwise, it's a wonderful and comfortable desk.

Either a clamp (which opens up to 3 inches) or permanent hole drilled into desk/table. Hardware for both options included. I use the clamp.

No, you do not screw all the way thru the desk. You just screw into the bottom of the desk.

You have to drill a small (3/8") hole through the desk to mount. This unit was well built and sturdy but does consume the entire desk.

Hi Scy33! No, you don't want to drill them all the way thru. Check the depth of the screw against the holding plate and the top of your desk. Put a piece of tape around your drill bit so it only drills in so far, to prevent going right thru. Hope this helps. Julie

You can clamp it to the back or drill a hole, it comes with the stuff to do it either way. I mounted mine to the back and it has worked very well, the desk has a hutch, I just made a small cutout for the bracket to fit through.

Obviously, the desk back must be away from a wall other obstruction, and you should experiment with the arm extension, and its reach and flexibility before drilling holes in the desk back.

All the holes to put screws are from the side. The top of the brackets go on the desk itself, and then we cut and stained a piece of wood to match the desk and mounted it to the slides and the keyboard rests on it.

As noted by others, yes, however 4 holes will be in desktop where screws go to affix shelf to desk. In my opinion, no big thing.

It did when I received mine. I have a tight corner desk and I had to drill my own hole in the desk to mount mine.

Yes, you need to drill a hole in wall, and you can watch the video installation on YouTube, copy and paste below link or search by prepac floating desk with storage in YouTube http://youtu.be/eZWr-p7GZto

It uses right angle metal brackets to secure it from the underside of the surface you are mounting it to. So you need something to bite into from the bottom of your mounting surface. I suppose you can tack weld it if you had to or somehow mount a wooden braces on the underside of the metal desk. You only need a small like 1/4" screw.

Yes, you can use this without drilling. They do give you screws in case you want to secure to the cabinet, but you don't have to use them. The bottom shelf will not hold these items as it is not tall enough. You can fit them on the top shelf.
