Does the raised ridge that holds things when the desks is at an angle come off or is it permanent, does anyone know?

The raised edge seems pretty permanent. It came attached already (one of the few things that does!!) when I opened the package. I think if you try to remove it you will damage the surface of the desk. I use a flat keyboard there with my computer on the right side of the desk--the raised part doesn't really get in my way so much since I am usually standing up so my hands are angled down.

It's permanent, but you could just not install it at the end. One of the last steps to putting it together is the screw the arm in under the desk surface. If you don't want it, just don't add it.

It has a ridged edge on the bottom. It is raised anywhere from 1/8 to 1/2 in the center. I can not remember for sure.

I don't know, I never tried to remove it because it's what I like most about the product. Instead of sliding straight out like a typical drawer, it drops out and down at a tilt, so it is not at all cumbersome and does not get in the way of your keyboard. I keep the riser at work or else I'd test it out for you to see if it's removable. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The last joint next to the monitor will rotate the monitor so it is flat. I just tried it and I can rotate it to face the tabletop it is attached it to. Hope that helps.

You can easily remove the ledge when you don't need it. I really love this desk and it was easy to put together, the instructions were very good.

Very true. My laptop has a rounded front. The low height of the pegs and the weight of the laptop combined leaves the laptop in a very vunerable position. It's slid off a couple of times.

Yes, although the clamp that holds it on can inhibit certain angles of the desktop.

It is attached. It could be removed but it would leave holes in the top of the desk.

This monitor holder has infinite adjustments. I have a large desk and have never had an issue with monitor position. I recommend this product and would buy another if needed.

No, it's not removable..., and yes, it does get in the way somewhat,,,,,,,,still usable, and a nice desk.

It's adjustable. I use it flat for sketching and using my laptop. The tilt function is great for painting though! Edited to add: there's a metal "lip" on the edge that's used as a ledge while the desk is tilted, but it can be unscrewed and lowered so it's not in the way when the desk is flat.

I don't know if it can be removed... the handle part does pivot downward, it's hinged, so it's pointing straight down when not in use, It's not in the way at all. It's a big desk. I love mine. Hope that helps.

It has a fairly sturdy clamp that attaches to the far side of the desk, or you can drill some holes in the desk and bolt it in place. It seems pretty effective.

Yes. The problem is, Jessica, that after you've unfolded the desk, it won't stay in place and support even a small book of sheet music unless the ledge is holding it in place. This also wouldn't be a problem, except that there's nothing to keep the ledge in place besides friction and gravity. You can't get the stand to hold the position you see in the picture. You have to put the ledge on the top, and rest the book on the bottom. Then it will only hold provided that you not touch it.

Hi Mark, the hole is much to large to hold a pencil, it will slip out if you are hoping to ahdere to the desk. It may however stay if you adhere to the top center of the desk and center the pencil. I will still have the potential to slip out though.

you will be able tosee what happens is the mount doesnt hang behind the desk its inward. infact if you look at it from the top down at no point does the edges, other than the part attached to the actual desk, hanging over the desk.you should be fine.

I think so. The desk surface when folded sits against the outside rails of the shelf and the second shelf from the top. I think that it would still rest on the sides with the shelf removed.
