How stable is this in terms of supporting a large desktop computer (i.e. my iMac)? Will it roll around or stay in place?

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!

It's very stable, the two back wheels can lock if you rather not have them rolling, the glass is heavy and strong. This desk is small and you may not want to over do it by adding to many big bulky items, however I think you would like it as much as I do.

If it is the "thin" version, maybe, but it definitely did not have the ability to hold my thicker 27 inch iMac any higher off my desk than the stand that comes with the iMac. If you are willing to spend more, have a look at the Innovative 7500-hd-1500 Heavy Duty Deluxe Flat Panel Radial Arm. It is positively bomb-proof and works great on my standing desk so I can lower or raise the computer to any height I want and it stays put.

No. It is basically just an "X" that pivots in the middle. Even if your tower overhangs a bit, it should work. Just make sure the weight is centered on the stand. Also be cautious when rolling because the width adjustment does not lock in place. Consequently the stand tends to open (widen) on its own when rolled around. I solved this problem by attaching a spring between the two rear wheels, causing the stand to grab the tower instead of just supporting it. Now I have no problem with the computer falling out, even when rolling on carpet.

Yes. It should be plenty strong enough. We have that size monitors on them and they easily could accommodate the iMac additional weight.

Good Question, I'm not a Gamer, but I do have a 21.5" iMac and a 22" Screen on one side (short side) and I use the other side as my handwriting and paperwork space.The desk is very sturdy. I'm pretty sure it can hold the 3 monitors. The full tower gaming PC shouldn't be an issue, notice it does have a rolling tower caddy in the middle, (I use this as my subwoofer stand). Th caddy is large and ample and can probably accommodate your tower. There is space, unless your tower is 50 lbs or more, I'm sure it can hold all your requesting. The accessories you mention, I'm not sure what you mean, but in any case, I'm very pleased with this desk. Took me 3 hours to build. Good luck.

You are exactly right and that is a drawback, the only one I can think of. My laptop has little "feet" that help to hold it in place but it still slides off from time to time. I've been looking for a small piece of silicone or rubber to prevent that issue but for me it hasn't been a deal breaker; it was for my daughter though. Good luck!

I use it w/ my 17" laptop & yes, it is safe & secure...no bouncing. it sits firmly. Hope this answer helps.

It would probably stay in place but I wouldn't risk it. I would say the safest way to use this would be on a desk or on a stationary lap.

From the reviews I've read - yes. However I've had no experience in that arena since I am iMac based. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I've got a Dell U2713HM which is around the 23-24 lb mark. Holds it up fine and I adjust the arms quite often from sitting to standing. a little keyboard jitter depending on how you have it extended but can't really fix that with an arm.

It is sturdy and reasonably steady. Don't know about the 'no-skid feet', but I was able to load it without holding it. This is not like those designed to be used with laptops as it is larger and heavier - the way all External DVDs used to be before portability became the most sought after attribute.

Not at all... if you tilt the lapdesk it will slide off, but during regular use the surface is slightly textured so keeps things in place. I love it!

I have not had that problem when I use it a table. In my lap, it is stable as anything else.

I think it's sturdy enough to hold you iMac. I have a monitor on the top and keyboard on the bottom.

So far it hasn't slipped around. On occasion when moving my laptop it will move but with regular use it hasn't been an issue. I use it daily. I wish though I had purchased a larger size.

I find the stand to be very stable. Mine's on a computer desk which is located in an area where the desk gets bounced rather often & the shake of the monitor is very minimal. This stand wouldn't topple over. I find it stable even when tilt to adjust for viewing.
