The desk is not attached. You just move it back a few feet and run...I do both. I walk on it at about 2.3 mph and then move the desk and run. I have a regular treadmill. It takes 10 seconds to move the desk back and out of the way....You can also use it as a standing desk without a treadmill but you would have to lower it a bit when it's not being used in conjunction with the treadmill.

I have, it's stable enough, but not comfortable for prolonged use since you have nowhere to rest your arms... it's no replacement for a standing desk.

It's relatively easy to move - it has wheels at the heavy end. You don't need a specialized desk - just bear in mind the desk needs to be 3-4 in inches higher up than when you are standing on the floor. I've had really good experiences with this treadmill overall and have one at home and the office.

I have my height adjustments about halfway, leaving about 6 inches to lower, and my treadmill is about 6 to 8 inches high. Raising and lowering would be easier with two people, as the adjustments are on both sides. Maybe with office chair lifted to max height looks doable to me. Walking at 1 mph i find is easy to fully function computer, phone, even writing long hand not disturbed too much. Standing I feel I would lean (terrible posture). I hope any of this helps. Should also mention, I have found the lack of swollen feet and ankles an added bonus. Best of luck to you.

I was wondering the same thing so did some searching on Amazon and found the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill, which is very reasonably priced as well as gotten good reviews. One of the first reviews talks about it being perfect for a treadmill desk!

Yes, it can be done. However, for that you need to put the desk on the other side!

I would advise no. Balance is essential on this treadmill and I found having both hands securely in place necessary.

I wouldn't use it for that. Its a little low setting for a desk. Armrest aren't that high tho.

For a laptop desk/support that's designed to use with a treadmill or exercise machine, do a google search for 'airdesk' - they have a model that can raise up your laptop to 60+ inches. Hope this helps!EDIT: Multitable has a treadmill version on their website as well- try searching for 'ModTable Treadmill Desk' for more info. Edit2: on further inspection, that has a treadmill built into it, so probably not what you are looking for.

I have not done that myself, but some reviewers stated that it worked for them. The treadmill has a very low profile, which requires a sturdy mat underneath, especially on carpet. I believe the 2x4 would work, as long as the belt does not rub on the opposite end.

It can be placed under a desk but It might be a little awkward to use while seated, what about bike peddles for that? Sunny Health & Fitness Mini CycleGood luck!

Hi,The mobile desk has adjustable height. The maximum height is 30" from top to ground. I think it would be too low if you intend to set it in front of a treadmill.

It's a good idea to have another chair available for a while, when I first started using it I could only go for an hour at a time, now I can use it all day though I typically only use it before lunch then switch to a conventional chair for the rest of the day. My next step will be a treadmill desk.

I wouldn't use it for jogging....it's not stable enough. My son would not sit on it while walking because it was "wobbly"...I'm afraid it may not stand up to jogging. Those wheels are small and low which doesn't work well with "speed"

Mind if I ask how you're going to set up your treadmill desk? That's what I'm looking to do as well, though the SurfShelf desk option looks cheap, and I don't want to build myself, so curious if you found the "desk" portion and could tell me where.

My treadmill is a "TreadDesk" brand specially designed for standing desks, it's total height is 4 inches from the floor. I set the TrekDesk in the shortest holes, marked F on the side slots to create the shortest desk possible. It measures 46.5 inches from the floor to the work surface. I'm 5'6.5" tall and this setting is just barely comfortable for me. I would prefer the desk be an inch or maybe two shorter. When I add the keyboard on top of the desk, the crook of my arm have to reach up a bit forming an angle a bit less than 90 degrees. This feels a bit "tight" to me, like I always have to hold my arms with bicep tension to reach the keys. I think this desk is designed to work with the more common treadmills that have much taller bases. I'd say mark 46.5 inches on the wall in front of your treadmill then, while standing on the treadmill imagine your keyboard is resting on top of that mark, does it feel comfortable? That's the only way I can think to pre-test the height. For my height treadmill I'd say 5'6.5" is the minimum height this desk fits but it has tons of room for extending it taller and most treadmills are taller than mine. Hope that helps. :)

I typically walk about 2 mph (while at the desk) and typing is just fine. You can still type fine at 3 mph but keep in mind the purpose of this desk is not 'working out'. The purpose is to keep you standing and moving through the day. If you want a workout, I suggest going for a run outside.
