Sorry,if this has been asked already but Can you lean on this desk? I'm worried that if i lean on it (like w/ my elbows) the weight might pull it down

If you anchor the desk into wall studs and mount the desk correctly to the anchored rail as instructed (not difficult to do), you will have no problem leaning on the desk. In fact you can load up the shelves with books and use the desktop to hold a laptop computer with no worries. This desk is very sturdy.

If you have installed the hardware properly (into 3 wall studs) that this desk hangs from, yes, you can lean on this desk.

yes it holds a specfic amount of wieght, dont go over the wieght and youll be fine, im not sure how much but im pretty sure its in the instruction when you get it.

Just make sure to install into the studs. I wouldn't sit on it but, it is very sturdy...I love it!!!

I sent mine back. It would hold the weight of my 23" all-in-one desktop on the wall, but the articulating swivel would not hold it in the correct position. I would slowly sag until it completely dropped forward.

We've been extremely pleased with this desk. Five stars! It will take some time to assemble, however. If you pull the shelf out more, then the desktop won't be secure or have enough support. So, the answer to your question is "no".

The desktop is attached. Looks like it is attached with a couple of long screws. You could loosen it, but I don't think it is simple. When I've moved by desk, it takes to people to lift it.

Please ask your question in a more clear way. Are you asking if you can stand at the desk or if the desk shakes? Depending on how stable your desk is, this will sometimes shake. It's caused one of my monitors to return a slightly blue color sometimes and I have to tap it on the side to make it go back to normal. If I had a more stable desk though it probably wouldn't do that. My desk is on wheels on a hardwood floor so yea.

You could use this hutch (which by the way, is fantastic!) if your desk matches the measurements/dimensions of the hutch, and if your desk is sturdy (i.e. not Walmart quality - saggy, wobbly.) This hutch is of great quality - solid, and very heavy. We adore ours. While it does take some dedicated time and effort to assemble, it is so well worth it. We have the desk it was designed for, which we also absolutely love. Hope this helps!

I'm thinking you can, but only if the chair reclines is whether you can find some use of it. It's a pretty firm foot stool too. It does have the tendency to slide a bit unless your feet are applying pressure down on it. I guess maybe adding some non-slip tape on the bottom to prevent from sliding further may work. I have mine underneath my desk almost hitting the back of the wall and therefore it really has no place to go from there. Hope this tip helped.

I have mine placed on my desk with a portion hanging off the back, making it lean away from me toward the wall. I would not place it on a shelf that would make it easy for me to tilt it over do to the stuff on or in it. So if the short shelf results in the organizer leaning into support ( as mine leans into a wall ) and not away from support then give it a shot.

I have a bad habit of sitting on my furniture and it holds up under my weight (over 100 lbs). I don't imagine it would have any difficulties holding up under a desk top. if you're worried though, you could reinforce it with another 2X4 at the joints...

Unsure but I seem to recall it was rated for 100lbs on another website. The desk is very solid. It has a large surface but all the load bearing support is strictly along the perimeter back and sides. You shouldn't have a problem if the weight is dispersed over or near those areas

I have two of these and wobble is not a problem. However, I would think that wobble from typing would most likely be caused by an unsteady desk to which the arm would be attached.

Ira, did you end up getting it and using for a desk/workstation? If so, please let me know your thoughts. It's my understanding you can make it level, which I think would be more comfortable and make it slower. Thanks!

It should work that way but you should put some kind of pad under it to keep from picking up vibrations from the desk.

I use it off the edge of the desk, and it did develop a small crack in the front. I still continue to use it that way and it does give when I rest my wrists on it. It would be best if it had support. I was thinking about seeing if I could add support under the front edge.

I have mine just sitting on top of the desk it is not fastened to the desk, I imagine that you could do that on either the right or left side. It is very sturdy with a wall behind it.

I wouldn't clamp directly to the desk since you want to clamp pretty tightly. Put something between the clamp and glass (cardboard, some rubber, etc) to help spread the clamping force. ONce you have it clamped it should be fine though, of course, it is now balanced to the edge where the mounting arm is. If you don't have the glass secured to the base then it could tilt. That's less of an issue with this particular arm and more an issue with any weight close to the edge. My desktop tilted back a bit before I remembered to rescrew it to the base. :)

it is possible to do it but it may be a hassle - you have to unscrew things, readjust it and rescrew it. it's not simple - we did a workaround to this exact situation by putting another, lower desk with a chair to the side of this. there are definitely units you can buy with a crank in the front to easily raise/lower them but they are much more expensive
