Could one of the shelves safely hold my 15" MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it overlaps the sides as long as the base is solid and sturdy.

Each shelf is 8 inches square and can hold about 9 pounds. The base is pretty sturdy but I can't vouch for the safety of your MacBook Pro sitting on that shelf.

Each shelf is sturdy enough, and could carry the weight, but they are relatively small and very smooth. I'd personally be worried that it would be too easy to knock off.

Yes. Each shelf can easily carry a 10-pound load, so I would not let weight be my concern. However, the tower is metal, so if you don't take care the shelf could scratch the bottom of your MacBook.

I don't have a MacBook Pro; however, I have put large, heavy art books (largest and heaviest being 12" x 12" and about 8-9 pounds) on the second shelf from the bottom (with a large book resting on the bottom-most shelf for extra support. The unit is extremely sturdy. Hope this helps.

Ehh...thats questionable. I use mines with a 15" MacBookPro about 7lbs I think. I have mines mounted by clamp and I would say its not. The weight of my hand resting on it adds substantial stress to the clamp, the arm extension and tray pivoting joint. I can type directly onto the keyboard w/o putting the weight of my hands on it, but resting the full weight of my hands on it ....I personally wouldn't recommend it- at least not with a clamp mount. Also- note that the plastic support tray is attached to the metal arm extension by a sturdy plastic piece...sturdy, but still plastic.

I'd give it a solid "maybe." The stand comes with a bunch of rubber inserts in different sizes to accommodate the various MacBook thicknesses. The page for the stand says it can accommodate a 17" MacBook Pro. I looked up the thickest 17" MacBook Pro Apple made and it measured in at 1".

I would advise against it. It would probably hold a laptop, but the angle of the laptop would not be good.

I use it for a very heavy 27" iMac and it's fine. Just make sure you need the amount of height it add. It's not adjustable. To experiment. Stack books or magazines 5 inches high. And then put youonitor on that. That's what you will experience with this stand. Very well built however and very strong.

Yes, I know it can. I had the same question as you did when I first purchased them, and I was nervous that the shelves would not hold. They do. While typing I am looking at them right now and the shelves are strong. A suggestion that I have is, put the heavier books on the bottom shelf, and the shelf that is the 2nd one up, because these shelves are secured to the sides. In addition to being a college student, I am also a school teachers. I put my teachers edition textbooks on these shelves, and They are holding up fine. Actually most of my books are hardback that are on the shelves. I am very pleased with how these shelves look and how they hold their weight.

I am using it for my 13 inch Mac Book Air. 15 Incher should fit comfortably.

It's all going to come down to the width of the computer. A 15" MacBook Pro fits underneath just fine, but you might have to raise it up just a bit due to ports so that the connected cables can exit the side cleanly.

A 15" will fit with no problem. The stand is solid and well-built, would not call it cumbersome.

I definitely wouldn't risk that. It is nice, but a bit on the flimsy side. The "shelves" are made of metal strapping welded on the support bars, and the strapping is quite flexible. Hope that makes sense. The straps don't distribute weight well, so wide-based items are much better. Top heavy items (like a TV) would likely not be supported well enough. I use it for baskets, short stacks of plates and bowls, and other wide-base decorative items that sit across several of the straps.

I have my Mac (the largest desktop one sitting in it. It is extremely sturdy. Definitely would but this product again

The grooves in which the metal support bar sits are pretty deep so I highly doubt it would be a problem but I would recommend buying a much cheaper bookstand if you are going to use it as just a laptop proper. I bought a wire stand under $10 on Amazon and it works perfectly with my 15in MacBook Pro.

Probably wouldn't balance very well on the lower legs, but it might slide in between them. I have a Toshiba 15.5" laptop that barely fits. But since it just sits there, I can live with it. Otherwise, it's a GREAT product. What you might do, is pick up a piece of plexi-glass, cut it to fit under there, and hot glue it in place. It's an ugly work-around, but it would most likely work. I'm just happy I was able to free up a ton of space on my desk, and raise the monitor up as well.

I don't think so, but it's close. I have a 15" laptop and a 32" monitor on mine, and you might be able to get them to fit if you have them hanging off the edge on either side. I wouldn't venture to say 'yes' however unless I saw it done, and I'm also not confident about the weight. I don't think it would be wise to have a 27" iMac with half its weight hanging off the side; I'd reckon the stand would be right at the edge in both cases, so unless you rig some kind of vise or some other way of making sure they don't tumble, I'd be leery of it.

Yes it can withstand your 17'' Macbook Pro, it is very steady, depending on how to use it, if you just need your laptop to just sit on it, then, this is perfect.
