How high above the desk would the keyboard adjust to and is it comfortable to stand and work using the keyboard (I am about 5'5")?

I can't advise as I have about a 4" face in front of the desk that I did not alter. I can say that even with this I can get the tray almost even with the top of the desk. That is the best I can offer for a reply.

I'm 5'8" and find it very comfortable. It's ability to flex/lean may be why it seems to accommodate so many different people. I needed to take a break after the first 3-4 hours using it because I felt tired, but I haven't gone back to the office chair since that first day.I don't know if there is a way to raise or lower it. That's a good question for the seller.

My husband uses this desk and he doesn't have any problems with it. He's 5'10". For him, the key is having a good chair and adjusting the height so he's sitting correctly. He has two monitors on the top shelf plus two laptops on the desk part. He keeps the monitors on their pedestals without adding any additional risers. It works for him. There's a similar desk at Fry's Electronics and one at Office Depot, so you might be able to compare the general proportions of those before you buy.

It's not high enough to sit at a desk. I have a lap desk for a wireless keyboard and mouse, and I also have my monitor on an arm that I can adjust. That's how I can work from this chair. It's certainly comfortable, but it won't replace a traditional desk chair.

Yes it is about that tall at the highest point which is about 6-8 inches above the desktop. it is a great desk! with the keyboard drawers the height is perfect.

I am 5'10" and the keyboard slide-out is about 2" higher than my other computer desk's slide-out. I have my chair set for my old computer desk and find that the Techni Mobil desk is a little high for me when I use it. All that being said, I think it will probably work since it does run a little high, especially if you have height adjustment on you chair.

Yes, with one comment regarding the keyboard. Right now, I use this table for my printer and office supplies with the portable computer on an adjustable height stand. The one comment I have is that if you are going to use this table for the keyboard, you're going to need to watch your arm and wrist position (ergonomic issue). For me, the table would be a little high (I'm 5'3") with a normal chair. But with an adjustable chair, you should be able to ok. You might need something to rest your feet on if you have to bring the chair up enough to keep your arms and wrist level with the keyboard. Yes, with one comment regarding the keyboard.

Height is not a problem. However, The keyboard cannot be wider than !2 inches to fit comfortably.

It is not a stand up desk. I'm 5'9" and raise it all the way up to get my legs under it. Plenty of room to stretch out legs.

There's a lot involve when using this product. You are correct that the desk needs to be lower if you want it at 26" when it is in the down position. My normal desk height is at 28". Remember, the rest of your desk must function as a usable desk and a 21" desk is not useable. You should be most concerned about what the correct height is when your standing in front of it with it in the "UP" position. From your shoulder to your elbow should be straight down along your body and from your elbow to your wrist should be 90 degrees out from your body while your typing on the keyboard. With it UP, your keyboard will be on the same plane as the screen and the screen will be "low" and will probably need to be raised up. Your eyes should be level with about the top 2" of the screen and you should not tilt the screen up from a low position to see it. I've used this product and other products and we have found that once the desk is UP, it stays UP. I supplied everyone with a drafting chair so you can sit UP to the desk. It's a Staples product #126805 and adjusts from 23" seat height to 33" height. You should also use an anti-fatigue mat to stand on. The nice thing is the draft chair wheels will not roll on the mat because it is too cushioned so once you put it in place, it will stay, even if your just leaning against the chair while standing. There is ANOTHER PRODUCT you can look at if you decide not to go up and down. It's call the Stand Steady desk and is also sold on Amazon. It's 24"x20" desk surface is nice for your computer. If you are tall, you can also purchase leg extenders. Stand Steady also has a larger version that will also allow you to have room to write on any papers you may be working on. After doing this for a while, my final solution is the larger Stand Steady desk top, leg extenders (for tall people 5'8" and above), anti-fatigue mat, drafting chair. GOOD LUCK.

In the standing position, the keyboard is on the same surface as the monitors. I thought the same as you, that the keyboard would be way too high, but it actually is quite comfortable. Both keyboard and mouse work well in the standing position. I purchased a wireless mouse and keyboard so I could easily move them when raising and lowering the desk. This desk is very sturdy, so I'm sure you could easily mount a keyboard tray if you wanted. But I would try as is first and see if it works for you. Hope this helps.

Hi Christine. It'll easily raise it by that much. I think it will go twice that high (and infinitely adjustable levels anywhere in between). Also, the angle of the keyboard seems to be at the ideal angle with each successive height. I hope you're as happy with yours as I am mine. I'm using it right now.-LD (Larry) (c:

I use this product for my laptop when I'm on stage. I use it for playing my music seqences and sometimes for Karaoke and have no problem typing on it standing up. I'm 6'4" and it's quite comfortable.

My treadmill is a "TreadDesk" brand specially designed for standing desks, it's total height is 4 inches from the floor. I set the TrekDesk in the shortest holes, marked F on the side slots to create the shortest desk possible. It measures 46.5 inches from the floor to the work surface. I'm 5'6.5" tall and this setting is just barely comfortable for me. I would prefer the desk be an inch or maybe two shorter. When I add the keyboard on top of the desk, the crook of my arm have to reach up a bit forming an angle a bit less than 90 degrees. This feels a bit "tight" to me, like I always have to hold my arms with bicep tension to reach the keys. I think this desk is designed to work with the more common treadmills that have much taller bases. I'd say mark 46.5 inches on the wall in front of your treadmill then, while standing on the treadmill imagine your keyboard is resting on top of that mark, does it feel comfortable? That's the only way I can think to pre-test the height. For my height treadmill I'd say 5'6.5" is the minimum height this desk fits but it has tons of room for extending it taller and most treadmills are taller than mine. Hope that helps. :)

I assume you mean a 5' person, not 5". It is a very sturdy, versatile stand. I have it attached to my standard height desk and it's perfect for my application. I am 6' tall and I can raise it while sitting so I am looking up at screen. But if I stand, I would not be able to raise it enough to have it level with my line of sight, even if I were 5' tall.

Depends on height of your desk to where it's comfortable to type standing for you! Very sturdy item!

Hi, Jeff. The keyboard's thin 6.4-millimeter profile makes desk or lap use very comfortable.
