Could I use the keyboard shelf for an open laptop, and the top shelf for an extra monitor?

Don't think you'd have enough room to open your laptop. The keyboard shelf only has one place that it can go.

You can get away wihtout the keyboard tray for sure. But that bottom shelf is questionable. I assume you are going to put a computer on the right side of desk. If you pull to the left to move the desk, you make cause some damage.

I use a laptop which I have on a separate stand as a second monitor to the side

I would say no. We have a monitor on top and the tower on the floor. It would also work for a laptop with maybe a printer underneath.

I would say no because the Lap Top Desk is big enough for the laptop only. No room for the external keyboard. The weight isn't a consideration due to the sturdy nature of this desk.

Possible, are you looking to connect an eternal monitor and keyboards? You could just strap the laptop into the CPU area or but it on the keyboard tray. If no monitor is overkill

You have to buy the computer shelf separately. I found it's worth it though.

That is exactly how I use it. My laptop sits on the left side. I am able to open the laptop comfortably with plenty of room left. A monitor for my desktop sits on the right side.

Yep. All the pieces have the correct holes to be able to assemble it however you'd like to. You could put the keyboard tray on the side with the upper shelf, and you can put the shelf on the right side. I've had this desk for nearly a year, and I love it!

Yes it would in fact my son has a monitor and his laptop on the top shelf and has the keyboard and mouse on the main desk part

I agree that the monitor size is not a big issue as the stand is very sturdy and should hold it OK. Your keyboard should be OK except it may not leave a lot of room for the mouse. We really like the stand so that we do not always need to be sitting or standing.

A laptop will work better. It has a monitor shelf but no place for the tower and no keyboard slide. We have a desktop gaming rig on ours but the tower in on a printer stand next to it and the keyboard takes up most of the desk surface. We are really happy with it though.

wide open you have just under 11 inches. the shelf is 11.5 inches wide. you can always install it further out that will give you 11.5 plus the length of the back feet to the edge of the Laptop. Good luck

Yes, that's what I use it for. But check the width of your laptop, keyboard, a/o monitor. I have my laptop on it, leaving just enough room for a mouse. Also isn't the best solution, ergonomically speaking. You really need your keyboard, monitor, and mouse at different heights. But this is a good, cheap interim solution for getting off your butt at the office.

The bottom shelf sets back a few inches from the front top edge of stand and the keyboard pulls out over your knees while sitting. The picture shows the monitor sitting towards the back of top shelf with some room for mouse. I move my monitor closer to front so my eyes can see screen better, which leave less space for mouse but still works for me.

You sure can, This is a great stand. Don't hesitate. Just make sure your monitor is VESA compatible

No. There are two drawers that you could possibly fit a keyboard in. I have a laptop so it is not an issue for me. I really love this desk. Very classy and sturdy for the price!
