So can you use this while at a desk chair or on the couch?

If you lowered it, then it could be used in that way. I only use it for standing.

Hello! I bought this podium desk with the intention of standing in front of it and using my laptop. It has been a Godsend because my hips (arthritis) no longer bother me because I am not sitting! Never used while sitting on couch--you can adjust the height to use there if you wish, I would think. Depends on how tall you are and height of couch. Hope this helps you somewhat! I LOVE this desk!! Good day! Patty

Actually yes. The top extends forward enough to go over a lap and it lowers enough you could use it while sitting.

Yes I would say you can and the fact the top is adjustable to go up or down you can sit on your kitchen chaie and be comfortable using it....I am really happy with mine.....I got the black graffite looking cart and I don't think it looks cheap and is quite esay to put together....but do follow directions makes things lots easier.....good luck making a decission and if you get one I hope you are as happy with yours as I am with mine.....Hope I was some help.....wslindvig....

You sure could. One of the most useful things in my classroom. I can use it standing up teaching, or turn my desk chair toward it and use it sitting. Nice little storage underneath, and not rickety at all. Good quality.

Yes, we use it in the kitchen area with a desk chair. You could also use it from a couch, it does have adjustable height to it. We are very happy with ours.

Maybe, depending on the height of your seat. You can adjust the stand so it's shorter or taller. I bought it specifically for standing, so I haven't tried it another way.

Not really. It's really meant for standing. It would be uncomfortable to use while seated...unless you use a bar stool.

I bought two because I was afraid wouldn't be stable enough to support the weight of my laptop set up but if you buy two of them and use the included rubber bands to hold them together, yes, you absolutely can use this in bed or laying on the couch. That is specifically what I bought mine for and I absolutely love it!

You can use on a desk also, but it will elevate the position of your laptop and your elbows will be in the air.I use it on my lap and I love it. Tried few time on the desk, not very comfy for me.

It depends on the height of your desk. If its a low desk, then you might have some trouble since the chairs lowest setting is still a little high. For example, I have a keyboard tray that is attached to under my desk so with that, I cant cross my legs while Im rolled under the desk.

I use my laptop in this chair, and it is very comfortable for this work as the arms are low enough to provide support but not high enough to put extra stress on my wrists. I think it would not be very practical to use at a table or desk. It would be difficult to adjust distance from the working surface and get in and out of once you establish a comfortable position from the table.The top of the chair arms measures 21 inches from the floor so it could comfortable slide under most tables.

You can but your feet would hang off the edge since their is a built in backrest on the lounger.

Yes, I currently use it for the purpose of a chair instead of a computer chair. But I would keep your current office chair handy for the first few days until you are comfortable sitting in it all the time. I never use my computer chair anymore and sit on this all day, feels great.

You might want to put it on something sturdy, such as a box or hardback book. If it's on something soft, the clicks may not register. I usually only use it on my desk, so haven't really tried to use it on the sofa. If I'm sitting on my sofa, I just pull my macbook pro out and use that while watching tv. Hope that helps

Sitting on the sofa, it would be too big to use in a chair. It's not heavy but is too large to use in a chair. Hope this helps

It's probably better to be shorter to use this, so your knees don't hit the table. The only problem may be that your legs aren't long enough for the full range of motion, but you can fix that by just moving your chair closer imo

You can use it, but it will rest on your lap. The legs won't reach your chair. It works well that way, though.

I have one in my bedroom and I have a chair less than two feet from the unit. In order for it to work well it needs to have free air-flow so blocking it off with a couch would likely not work so well. They get hot enough that you would not want to leave your hand in contact for long...but not so hot as to burn you if you brushed up against it. If the furniture is off to the side a foot should be fine.

You cannot;however I have used mine for several years and would not want to go back to a chair

Yes, with your legs or your arms. It is easily used for both. And you can go forward or reverse, you can sit in any chair but not with the feet up in a recliner. You can adjust the tension you want to use, and go forward or reverse.

Yes, it can be used at the table or by itself on the floor. We have only used it on the floor and it works great.

I think you can, it just depends on the size and shape of the couch legs. I would recommend ordering them.

As long as your desk is at a comfortable height I don't see why it would be any problem for a short person. The arm swings such that it can take in any radius from zero (right on top of the clamp) to it's maximum length (about 1 foot). Your elbow or forearm travels in the pad rest. I have mine positioned between 2 computers and can use it for mousing on both of them without relocating the arm rest. The rest is good for both mousing and keyboard. I tend to slide from by forearm for mousing to my elbow for keyboarding. That's probably because I am using it on two computers at once.
