How stable at top height? Looking to use as a standing desk- Would need top height

The swivel on the sides to angle the top up or down is a defective design. It will not secure it very well so that it stays in the position/angle you want it. Also, I got a couple defective bolts where the metal had dripped on the screw part so I couldnt properly use them to assemble the table. Its a cool looking desk but its not as tall as I wanted it to be (I have it on bed risers right now) and the top cannot be firmly secured in place. World market has a similar solid wood desk (no glass inlay) but it does not have any flaws, looks pretty cool, and is just a little bit more expensive

Sorry, the one at world market is more expensive ($280 + $70 for shipping). If I had to do it over again I'd go with the one from World Market

I don't think it would be as stable. However, the legs are adjustable in height. I have it on the lowest setting and it's already higher than an average desk chair. The adjustments could take it up by another 4 inches, so would probably work fine.

I can't remember how tall honestly, i know that doesn't help much. I didn't even put it on though because it didn't feel like it would be secure. When i was putting it together the boards cracked and the screws poked through. Its a nice little desk as long as you put it together gently.... i remember when i held the printer stand on the desk it took up a ton of room which is another reason i didn't put it on. I know this doesn't help much though.

It might be a stretch. I'm 5'10", sometimes I wear heels, but this puts me right at 6" and I find my positioning, especially wrist and keyboard, aren't as comfortable as standing flat foot. You could always stack it on another platform on your desk, but at that point you might just want to build yourself a custom one. That aside, I've been standing since the start of the year and I love it!

With the legs fully extended it will raise your laptop 13 inches. I would get out a ruler and see if 13 inches from your current desk top will raise it high enough...probably not without you slouching. And yes it is flimsy. I only use it while laying in bed, for that it works fine.

The area where the tower is has no height limit, and the width is adjustable. The depth of your stack will work, too if you don't put the desk too close to the wall. The desk has worked well for us.

The foot base comes forward several inches to keep it from doing or. Using the mounting bold and drilling a hole through the bottom of your desk would probably provide the same support. I just have the foot stand and it is very stable with 3 24" Asus lcd monitors (older, heavy style).

You can raise it just about to the level of the desk for me. Depending on how you have it mounted, you might achieve a higher result.

I bought two of these for my nieces to take to college. They are wonderful as a lap desk. But I don't think it would work well as the monitor stand. First, the top section is slightly angled for easier typing. Second, this stand is used by basically sitting on it with the vertical piece between your legs. That is what gives it it's stability. If it were me, I would look for a more suitable monitor stand. Hope this helps!

Your computer will be fine. I've put at least 100+ lbs. on this desk at various times, but wouldn't do it regularly. It regularly holds 25-50 lbs, so you should be more than fine.

I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much). However, when you extend it to it's maximum height, not only is it not quite high enough to use as a standing desk (and I am short!), but it also gets pretty wobbly. Right now, I have mine set at about 3 ft. and that is perfiect for sitting on the side of my bed and using my laptop. ( We have a somewhat tall bed, FYI.) I esitmate one could raise it another 8 inches or so since there are 2 more holes left on the metal post, but as I said, it gets pretty wobbly when fully extended. I do like it very much, though.

Doesn't sound like these will be tall enough. From the desktop to top of pole it is only 18 inches. This means that the highest center point of monitor would be 16 3/4 inches from top of desk.

That depends on it's weight. The cross bars do a lot for stability, but there is still swaying with a lot of weight on top. I have a fairly heavy gaming rig. I keep my tower on the bottom (barely fits). If you have the newer iMac, I'd imagine the weight would be fine. Rolling withought you making it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck in choosing!

Should work fine. In my case I just left the top shelf out altogether to give room for the monitors since they are tall. The desk is still very sturdy.

We installed ours in a hospital provider workroom attached to fairly sturdy countertops so the weight wasn't an issue. I would be more worried about it tipping over the desk (topheavy). I believe if the station was left square over your desk and not pulled forward, you COULD be fine. Try it - if it's too heavy - retune it. Amazon has a great return policy. If still unsure, don't risk injury to yourself, children or pets. Look for something else. :) Good day to you.

I use this for my standing desk. It easily supports my 28" screen at a 12" lift and could probably go a couple inches higher.

Yes, it woild work. It is sturdy enough. You may want a chair that has height adjustment, as itnis a bit higher than a normal desk. I just raise my office-style chair whennI turn to use it like a desk.
