Does going with a 17 inch track go all the way under the desk when not in use? How about with 23 inch track?

Of course it depends on how deep your desk is, but either should go all the way under if you have the room.

no, a portion of the keyboard tray will stick out if you use a shorter 17" track. The desk depth will determine what track length you can use.

I don't know about the 17 inch track, but the 23 inch track that I got can go all the way under.

The metal track is &lt; 18" long so that should be fine. The keyboard itself may protrude from underneath the desk, but my desk is 36" deep and the way it was installed extends in front of my desk as well. I think you'll be fine.

The desk is largely a high-impact plastic. I would be hesitant to drill any holes in the desk. Really though, the balance on this is so superb, anti-slip surface effective, and the glide up and down so smooth, I can't imagine my 24" display falling off, unless your desk is inside a private jet or tour bus. I do have a foam back desk mat underneath, only because I had that left over from before acquiring the VariDesk.

We have two 19" monitors with the printer in between. We raised the monitors up for ergonomics with a little area beneath for papers and other things. All in all very satisfied with this desk.

the instructions say 6 inches but I did that and had to move the track closer together about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. So between 5 1/4 and 5 1/2 inches and you will be fine.

More important than the size difference will be the weight difference between the two monitors. While size will mean they won't line up well, they should be fine as long as there's not too large of a weight difference between the two. If you're mounting the monitor to the desk, weight difference won't matter at all. Even with the stand, you should be okay unless the 23" is incredibly heavy or the 17" remarkably light.

You can do it underside, but some times if the wood is rough enough, the anti slip material. Won't allow you to move the track... Sometimes it allows it and you have to clamp it

25 and a quarter inches. Measured from floor to where the overhand on the tray is, three times, average as stated. You may want to take 25 as your measure since the overhang can be pronounced depending on setup. As an aside, I have enjoyed the desk thoroughly. Two things I'd be wary of- you will absolutely need a hydraulic chair that can go down LOW. 25 inches isn't a whole lot of room to fit your legs under with a chair beneath you. So pay attention to that when shopping for a companion chair. Second thing, don't expect to be able to fit your hands in the tray and type with the tray pushed in. There simply isn't enough room. My tray is always pulled out. Perhaps if you buy one of the super-slim roll flat kb's, and have smaller hands, it could work. Enjoy the desk!

you would have 25 inches of clearance from floor to bottom of desk. hope this helps

Depends on size of monitor....17"vs24" etc...different height, but all monitors can sit flush with desk....I personally have a 27" installed sitting 4" above desk.

With the longer track, the keyboard tray can retract fully under the desk surface. When using the shorter track, part of the tray sticks out of the desk edge when retracted. I guess this depends on your mounting option though. If the desk is not deep enough to take the longer track, you will have to use the shorter one.

The legs are only 17.5" wide, it's the chair you'd probably have an issue with as far as sliding it under your desk. The front part of the chair is 22.5" and at its widest length, it's 24.5"

The metal track is < 18" long so that should be fine. The keyboard itself may protrude from underneath the desk, but my desk is 36" deep and the way it was installed extends in front of my desk as well. I think you'll be fine.

The Track is about 16 inches. You need at least 17 to be able to close the door. I think it will fit with a bit to spare. We love ours!Jan

I think that will depend on what the depth of your CPU is. You can mount the CPU anywhere on the "trolley" and clamp it down. In your case, I would be thinking more along the line of installing the track at an angle under the desk so I would be able to rotate the CPU a bit forward while I was rotating it to get to the front DVD and USB ports, as well as then be able to slide it back under and rotate it so it is flush against the back of the desk when I don't need access.

Thank you, but what about just the desk portion (floor to desk)? I appreciate the help. :)

It's going to depend on the depth of the keyboard tray you have on it, plus the distance between the top edge of the tray and the desk edge. As the upright track is angled slight back towards the top, the depth at the top of travel is 2" smaller than at the bottom.
