Can this be used as a writing or drawing desk without having the unit wobble, shake or vibrate too much?

Depending on the flooring beneath it yes. I changed out the wheels on mine because I thought they were too 'flimsy'. The surface area is small, I have a macbook air and can't put anything additional on the top with it. I bought additional rolling tables after I got this but didn't get this one.

yes just make sure you tighten the knob of the top when you get to the perfect height so it does not push down if you lean on it.

It is surprisingly sturdy and balanced, if it is an ink jet it might wobble when it is printing. It wouldn't fall over. I have a 3 year old visitor that uses it as a personal table and she hasn't had any issues with tipping. the base is really solid. I put a round placemat on it and if you put a printer on it, you might want to put one on it too.

Haven't tried that, but this is not a heavy duty item anyway. It works fine, but more in a casual setting or at home. You'd want a pretty beefy stand for anything with a shaky balance. I guess the holder would work though.

Wobbly may be a bit of an exaggeration but there can be a bit of movement in the tip. I have a two Graph Gear 1000's, one tip has no movement and the other has maybe a 1/2 mm movement. The movement is imperceptible while writing though, at least for me.

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.

It's a little wobbly from side to side. I don't think I would risk it. My wife only uses it for watercolors.

ours is very slightly wobbly but we have it placed in a nook and it works perfectly. So far, no other problems.

There is a little bit of wiggle, but id say its plenty stable. I use it for my main computer desktop, i spend 90% of my time at home at this desk and i'd definitely recommend it.

It is a bit wobbly but we have it in a corner. we really like the piece as long as it isnt somewhere where it would get bumped easily then it should work fine. hope this helps.

Mine does not wobble or flex. It also came with 2 small L brackets to attach it to the wall if you felt it was necessary but mine isn't going anywhere. It is also in an office with commercial carpeting on a poured concrete floor so there is no flexing or "squishiness" to the floor. For me it would be a 1 on the scale.

It is stable and level but it can wobble if manually rocked. You can prevent that with a little wedge but I do not use one. It sits on my window ledge Hope that helps

I have not had issues with shakiness. Obviously it is not as solid as a traditional wooden or metal desk, but it is solid and sturdy enough for what it is being used for.

The Toastess I had before had a plastic body which I wanted to get away from. It is not comparable to this nice glass one at all. Mine is not wobbly. I have no problems with quality of construction.P. s.: I have been thinking about your wobbling question ever since my above answer. It could only wobble if you don't feed the electrical cord through the half-moon opening at the base of the heating unit.

Not really. Mine is hanging from the garage ceiling, so it shakes only when the wife is running on the treadmill upstairs. It's pretty solid.

Yes; it may seem a bit shaky during assembly, but once everything is tightened it's pretty rigid. It can be picked up one-handed and will stay in shape, there was no noticeable movement loading it up, and it's stayed solid for several months now. You'd really have to go beyond its intended use to see it become shaky.

It does wiggle, but I got used to that. The aluminum is very light, and durable, but it does flex. When I put the lower two bars at a straight up position and only lean the top it wiggles the least. Anything with this many angles I think would move a little though. I wouldn't mistake light weight aluminum for bad quality, but if y want solid and still, you may have to pay a little more or get one that latches on to a desk or end table. Hope that helps.

I've been doing a lot or writing with this, and no sign of wobble yet. I alternate (depending on what I'm doing - drafting type project, or just writing) between an upright use, and a more angled (and harder on the "nib") use, and it still is nice and solid.
