wierd question; when I think about using my computer at wok, the desk has not bottom plate so my chair is pushed in under the desk (as well as my feet). Will it be comfortable with a bottom plate? Isn't your body out of alignment with this type of desk...

It depends on your eyesight and where you place your monitor on it. I have no problems with alignment with this desk. The bottom plate is also pretty sturdy, so you could rest your feet on it. Hope this information helps.

I'm 5"4" and I was hitting my knees under my computer desk. I pulled my keyboard and mouse back to the edge of the desk top and pedal away. It's hard to use the keyboard or write while you are using it though. Mine has held up really well and although not a cardio workout by any means, keeps the legs moving!

This is perfect for me with standard desk heights. I lower desk chairs to suit my legs, and this is no different. I prefer sitting so my arms can rest on the desk and my spine is in alignment, rather than towering over the desk surface and leaning over like I see taller people...who probably need a taller desk. And these people usually complain of aching backs/back stress.

Don't laugh, but I still own an old gateway computer that I bought way back in 1999! It is roughly 30 inches tall, and It fits nicely within the computer compartment. I also have a brand new dell desktop which is half the size of my old gateway. There is enough clearance under the desk for you to work very comfortably.There is one slight drawback.If you purchase a keyboard equipped with a CAC card reader,you will not be able to type with the keyboard partially extended. You will have to pull the tray completley out, which makes placing your legs under the desk nearly impossible. Overall, I love the desk. It is well worth the money....

No I ended up having to buy a chair separately. Also the desk has the draw for the key board which blocks your legs from going under it. I ended up just putting it on small pads.

I guess it would support that purpose although I would suggest that, as the surface of the lapdesk is slippery, a non-slip placemat or perhaps a large rubber mouse pad be used to put the plate or bowl on. I do use it while I'm eating my lunch! And I agree with other comments that because the 'bean bag' closest to the body is smaller than the other, a napkin or rolled up paper towel would be useful.

Chris try lifting the control arm mounted under the seat on right side it goes down fairly low so you should be able to fit under your desk. just make sure you sitting in it when you do or it will rise even further...ok?

My husband is 6 feet tall. He came and stood in front of the desk, and said the height was no problem for him. He went on to say that as long as the surface wasn't so low that his arms were at waist level, he saw no reason he would not be perfectly comfortable--the key was he didn't have to slouch over. I think your best bet might be to see where the desk height is in relation to your body, because that is the level at which your arms would be resting.

Honestly I have a tower on the floor next to the desk and I also have a laptop. I use both fine in the desk. I have a lot of electronics in my desk and I only move the keyboard for the tower when I put the laptop on the desk

A keyboard will slide under it, but not in the usable way unless you have a small keyboard (mine is 16" long). If you want it just for storage, the height under the drawer to the desk is sufficient to allow the keyboard to fit under the tray, but you need to slide it the long way.

I would not expect you to be able to work at desk. I miss read the question. This is definitely not an office chair.

I love the desk and how it looks. However, I'm 5'4" and there is only about 2" between my legs and the bottom of the desk. An office chair, that rolls, is out of the question. I'm using a low chair from an old dinette set. I've been trying to think of a way to raise the desk about 4" without it looking crappy. If the legs were longer the desk would be perfect. Very sturdy.

You can get away wihtout the keyboard tray for sure. But that bottom shelf is questionable. I assume you are going to put a computer on the right side of desk. If you pull to the left to move the desk, you make cause some damage.

I can't find an y information about the size of the mounting plate....I have a 'skirt' running back a ways from the front edge of the desk, and want to make sure this will fit.Can anyone tell me the mounting plate size and how far back I need to mount it?Thanks!!

Yes. I have a Herman Miller look-alike chair and it fits under the desk just fine with the arms in their lowest position. I'm 5'7 so that position is just fine for me. Keyboard tray is not deep enough to accommodate an opened lap top and that was a disappointment. Overall the desk seems well made and I've received a lot of compliments on its looks. Hope this helps.

There is. The base, in contact with the actual desk, can extend out or retract. The platform, on which your monitor and keyboard would sit when raised, don't actually touch the desk when lowered. I still have a USB keyboard, and I'm thinking of getting a wireless as you would want to move the keyboard down to the actual desk. (Great product for what it is worth!)
